Servo Motor Question...

[Bar C Leather]

Hi All! Wondering if anyone can tell me what I need to look for in a servo motor for my Juki LU 562 Industrial Machine. With clutch it is way too fast for the precision work I'd like to do with it (or I'm just too slow!) I'm finding some motors for anywhere from $99 up to $150 on ebay but not sure if there is anyone who can tell me if there are special specifications I need to look for.

Also, the stitch length adjusting button is stuck down in the machine ...husband says it looks like it is wearing out the cam from being stuck (have only tested it on a few pieces since I bought it). Husband is a machinist so we can probably make a new cam if they are hard to find but can anyone recommend a Juki parts dealer that could possibly walk me through fixing this?

Thanks!

Servos are available from any of the dealers listed in the banner ads at the top of this page. If you don't see the ads, disable your ad block for this site. Each time you refresh the page, you will see new ads, so you can get to all the dealers. They support this site, and best of all, they help everyone here, not just their customers.

In general, most servos will fit, depends on the mounting holes in your table, but they are very standard. More power is usually better. Get one with a 2" or smaller pulley. Might require a shorter belt.

Where you have two separate needs, should probably split the request into separate threads.

Thanks Tom, I appreciate it. My biggest concern was the motor and if I should be looking for anything special but I figured if one of our sewing machine dealers saw the thread they might be able to answer both.

I actually got brave, dug in and fixed the thread adjusting button ~ It was just rusted in place which is interesting since the machine has very little rust anywhere else. Guess I will call around about the motors Monday

I have a Juki 1508 and am using a Family FESM-550S Variable speed servo motor and am quite pleased. I think that both Keysew and Toledo Sewing carry them. I also have a Consew servo motor that I'm not pleases with.

So what he needs to do is spray some penetrating fluid around the button,go underneath & push it up & then push it down from above to get the fluid worked into it.
