Abstract

The invention relates to a circular comb (6) for a combing machine, for combing textile fibers and for being fastened to a shaft of the combing machine, which shaft is rotatable about a shaft axis (W). The circular comb (6) comprises a main body (15) which carries a combing clothing (17), and a mass-balancing element (16) which is to be fastened to the shaft for conjoint rotation on the side of the shaft opposite the combing clothing (17). When installed in the combing machine, an adjustable support mechanism (30) is present between the main body (15) and the mass-balancing element (16), wherein the main body (15) and the mass-balancing element (16) contact one another directly in some portions, and the main body (15) and the mass-balancing element (16) can be changed in terms of their relative position with respect to one another perpendicularly to the shaft axis (W), so that the position of comb tips (33) of the combing clothing (17) is adjustable.
