The invention relates to an open-end
spinning rotor (1 a, 1 b, 1 c) comprising a rotor shaft (4a, 4b, 4c), a rotor cup (2, 2c) and a
coupling device (3a, 3b, 3c). The rotor shaft (4a, 4b, 4c) and the rotor cup (2, 2c) are releasbly connected together by means of the
coupling device (3a, 3b, 3c). The
coupling device (3a, 3b, 3c) is provided with a locking means (5, 6) for the axial arresting of the rotor cup (2, 2c), a transmission means (9, 10, 11, 12) for positively transmitting a torque from the rotor shaft (4a, 4b, 4c) to the rotor cup (2, 2c), and a centering means used for aligning the rotor shaft (4a, 4b, 4c) with the rotor cup (2, 2c). The centering means comprises a cylindrical bore part (8, 8C) and a corresponding guide extension part (7, 7c) to be guided into the cylindrical bore part (8, 8C). According to the invention, the cylindrical bore part (8, 8C) and the guide extension part (7, 7c) are in clearance fit with each other. The centerin means comprises elastic arrangements (13, 14, 15B, 15c) arranged between the cylindrical bore part (8, 8C) and the guide extension part (7, 7c).
