All about sewing servo motors
Wednesday 30 June 2010 - Filed under Motors
A servo motor can be used when you need more control of your machine. Basically a servo motor can be used instead of your clutch motor. Servo motors aren’t running constantly like your clutch motor, so it’s usually a silent operation. It basically doesn’t have that constant hum that the clutch motor gives you while it is waiting for you to engage.
Can a Servo Motor Slow Down my Industrial Sewing Machine?
The answer to your question is, Yes! Servo motors come with adjustable settings so that you can slow down the speed of your machine. It makes it so the machine will go no faster than what you have it set to. Some experts believe that you will need a rehostat dial on your machine, or you just won’t get the control that you are after.
Can a servo motor sew through thick dense materials?
Absouletely! It really depends on the model of servo motor that you get though. There are some servo’s that you can stop with the touch of your finger! You don’t want that. Make sure to do your research before choosing a servo motor for your sewing machine, or you could end up wasting your time and money if it can’t handle the job that you’re doing.
Can I run my lamp/light off of a servo motor?
It depends on the model of servo motor. Originally I couldn’t find any that had the input for a light, but there are lots out there that do have this feature. It is getting more and more popular. If it doesn’t have the power input for the light, it may need to be hard wired into the motor.
One thing a lot of people say when they switch over from clutch motors to servo motors is that they didn’t even know it was on because it is silent. It really doesn’t make any noise unless you’re sewing with it. That’s why having the light hooked up to the motor can be important, especially for someone just starting out. It will let you know when the machine is on!
