For the design of an opening cylinder (1) for an open-end spinning device
where the opening cylinder (1) has a face (11), it is proposed that the
base body (12) of the opening cylinder (1) be located on the end of a
shaft (2) away from the bearing (21), whereby an axial distance (9) exists
between the base body (12) and the bearing (21). To expose the gap (22)
for maintenance purposes, the clothing holder (3) is designed so as to be
removable in the axial direction across the bearing (21), whereby the face
(11) towards the bearing (21) is formed on the clothing holder (3).
