1. A control device (1) for thread-guide bars (2) of warp linear knitting machines, comprising:
a linear motor (10) designed to impart a translational motion to said thread-guide bar (2),
a mover (40) for moving said thread-guide bar (2) according to an oscillating motion basically perpendicular to said translational motion, and
a motion transmitter (20) for transmitting to said thread-guide bar (2) said translational motion (10) of said linear motor (10), thus enabling said oscillating motion;
characterized in that
said motion transmitter (20) includes a first transmission element (21) coupled to and integral with said linear motor (10), and a second transmission element (24) that is coupled integrally to said thread-guide bar (2), said first transmission element (21) having a first guide (22) in which said second transmission element (24) is movably engaged.
