Hi Anyone got any experience of this type of servo silent motor, with the brand name of Eagle? EAGLE SPECIAL brushless servo energy saving motor with digital speed Which replaces our previous BEST SELLING NATIONWIDE silent servo motor 75% energy saving against your conventional clutch motor adjustment range from 0-9 on 0-3000 rpm 400 w In the UK we don't obviously have the same suppliers as in the US, but who knows, perhaps someone out there would have an opinion on it. Its being offered new for £145. (I think thats about $220 usd I guess). Thanks CP

Billy - just saw your website, think your holsters look fantastic, really solidly made and seems you have a developing range too if your website is just a year or two old, so I guess you are busy adding things here and there to it. Ferg - those photos are sooo good to see the alternatives. Maybe the moderators or you could post these under Wiz comments about 'what machine to buy' thats pinnned....? Am sure you guys get asked about slowing down industrial machines ALL the time, Am off to call the sewing machine dealers now to see if they have all the stuff for these options here with them before they come to fit just 'any' servo....If they bring them, we can then try all options, Cheers CP

Hi I am a total newbie here of about 24 hours, but think that Abbey here in UK supply these. Type in Abbey leather uk or similar to Google. Am sure they can mail to wherever you are. They also do 1inch nickel plated ones, (much lighter). Thanks. Best wishes,

Heh Billy - Thanks for the explanation, I envy you the large variety of machines you have. You must be a pretty organised person with an efficient business! I will discuss these options with the dealer that does a home visit (where my machines take up too much space here in my living room)! Hi Ferg, I do appreciate the time you have taken to upload the photos on here, which helps me to know when I get something, that its the right thing, (as asked for) as sometimes I think sellers here in the Uk just want to sell a Servo, but at least on this website, there are more options to consider (speed reducer, specific servo such as the one Wiz recommends or the gear reduction and the need too, to balance this choice against the material that I will be working with most. This last bit is the tough one, as will work with both average thick leather, fine, thin leather, and laminated cotton, plus cordura! Heheheh! I think this web is great though to help us total newbies learn so we can ask the right questions of suppliers. One industrial machine dealer I spoke to was super casual about any technical info on servos, just saying it was a brand name for a slower motor, which it sounds not quite the full storey! Cheers and thanks for your postings - most encouraging CP

Hi Billymac Thanks for sharing your experience. Theres a local sewing company who will come to my place to put a servo on, but I will perhaps see if I can get a speed reducer too as you have done. However on thing is unclear. It seems that even just a single, smaller/tighter pulley slows the machine down, so I am hoping this cheaper option will be my starting point, then the servo (expecting I will need this regardless) then try the speed reducer thingy for 3rd option!!!..............I am not quite sure how a speed reducer is different to just a smaller/tighter pulley, but thats something for someone keen on photos to hopefully post on here You guys in the US seem to have a much greater variety of suppliers... Thanks again for posting and sharing your experience - it helps make me feel I am not too far away from getting this machine to work at the novice/slow speed Im after! Cheers CP

Hi Am a newbie, using an Adler with a new Clutch motor, but its still way to fast and am a novice at sewing, so was looking at switching it to a servo, but as there are sometimes even issues with these (which brand and which model in which brand for which I will still end up with a good current clutch motor not being used). So I wondered if the 'speed reducer' (as referred to in another post about servo motors, for $85), are able to do their magic on my flatbed Adler 67-63L machine? Secondly, if here in the UK we use 220volts, does this pose any issue for the speed reducer? Sorry if this is a bit basic, but I have only had a few hours on industrial machines and really want to be able to go slow when needed (probably often, especially as I will be making bags)!!! Many thanks for any and all useful, kindly sent replies. Regards CP

Hi Is this sold now? Regards Chillpill12
