Members AEH Posted November 10, 2014 Members Report Posted November 10, 2014 Gentlemen, I recently bought a Claes 214-1 heavy duty machine, which is an Adler 105-8 clone. (Pictures attached). It was set up as a treadle machine, but I want to get a motor for it. I have read a few threads in this forum about motors, and also studied a few suppliers web sites, but I am still somewhat confused about the right choice of motor for this machine. I would like to be able to sew up to 10-12 mm thick leather, and, as I mostly have been hand sewing up to now and have little experience with machine sewing, I need very good control i.e. slow speed. I realise that I will need a servo motor, but I am not sure of how much power I will need, or how low the lowest RPM needs to be. The hand wheel pulley of this machine is 150 mm (6 in). I live in Norway, and the motor must be 220/240 V. I have been looking at this two motors: (https://www.universalsewing.com/tek9.asp?pg=products&specific=1`302351&usscriteria=448.101&usssearchby=header and http://www.leathermachineco.com/product/brushless-digital-d-c-servo-motor/ but I am not dure if the fist one is slow enough or if the second one is strong enough. I will be grateful for any advice and suggestions. Thanks, Arvid Quote Arvid Hoffarvid@murul.nowww.murul.nowww.arbeidskar.no
