Pfaff 2545 basic

[Moti]

Hi everyone, first of all I want to say a huge thank you to everyone on this forum who helped me with a lot of problems. It's really great  to be here and be part of the community. Now to my  help, I have a customer/frind with a Pfaff 2545 basic and he claims that there is a known problem with the machine that the screw that holds the needle bar is not doing its job well enough and as a result of course the machine goes out of time.
So I wanted to know if this is true? Has anyone else encountered this problem or is it really known? And also, is there a known solution for this??

I sew the machine but at that time he didn’t told me about any problem, and he gives me the original motor of the machine because it was to fast and he didn’t found how to lower the speed so he bought cheep brushless motor from Ali express

I´d say this new fancy Pfaff machine range is not wide spread already. I doubt there is much experience with this type of machine yet. But why should a top class manufacturer like Pfaff have needle bar issues? Well, you never know but I seriously doubt this cause they for sure have experience from the older models and why should a simple part like a needle bar cause issues? If there was / is a known issue then your Pfaff dealer should know about it and should provide a replacement.

Hi thank you 

Dealer don’t know about this noting 

and as I see no one here knows about it also so I think it’s nonsense so I need to go there and check for myself 

Iam  very curious to know what's really going on there, it's just that he lives really far from me, but there's no way I'll have to see it. Thank you very much.

To me I think it probably has more to do to a individual machine problem then a manufacturing problem as a result of wear, over‑tightening/under‑tightening, or a damaged screw or clamp.

If you are able to check the machine inspect the needle‑bar clamp and screw for wear and or other damage like a buckle needle bar, stripped screw / clamp and check that it is tightened properly and then if all is good re‑time the hook‑to‑needle as per the service manual, if not replace damaged parts then re-time.

The PFAFF 2545 is manufactured in the P F A F F Industriesysteme und Maschinen GmbH factory in Taicang, near Shanghai, China.

My experience:

The Juki DU-1181n is a decent walking foot machine but the quality is nowhere near that of my Juki DNU-1541S. The difference is the 1181N is made in China and the 1541S is made in Japan.
