Looking For A Good Servo Motor For Singer 111W155

[Iron Pounder]

I'm looking for a good quality servo. I would like to get something that has a gear reduction built into the servo motor case if possible. Are any made here in the US?

You can get a good one made in the US for a grand or so, but a Chinese one from Bob will go $175 or so.

I have two serve-pros from Toledo Industrial and love them. Under $200.

Check with Bob.

Got mine along with a speed reducer from Cobra Steve. Was easy to install and runs great. Big benefit was being able go to Steve's shop and see how they were set up and having the phone support. Haven't done business with Bob but hear nothing but good thing, so I don't think you could go wrong with him either.

The sewpro I was sent didn't end up working out for me. That is why I asked for a bit better quality. I think I could live with spending 500-600 on a good servo. Maybe the problem is you can't buy one for that? Hate to put much more than that into this old Singer I think. I want to keep this set up for 69 or max 138 thread and just leave it then we are going to add a new machine around Christmas time I would guess.

OK! Try another route, outside the box, to slow your baby down.

Do the wheel exchange to a 11/12 hand wheel at farm/fleet etc. You don't need the gear reduction , and the wheel effect will do wonders.

Buy a 11/12" belt roller, add a 1/2 inch bearing and cut you motor wheel to 2 inch. Cost about ...fifty.. sixty.

Not a bad addition to the 111w.

Ok,

Here is a SCR and motor for $500+ that will work and it is pretty easy to install. US made too.

Have you tried or know anyone that has had good luck with the sailrite rig? I have considered playing with the pullies as well and just using the clutch motor. My clutch doesn't take hold til I have the pedal all the way down. I noticed a bolt with a jam nut that I assume is an adjustment for clutch. I think I might try adjusting that abit to see if I can bring the clutch in with less pedal. I think that would go a good ways right there in control at least. I will look in the morning but I don't think the machine pulley comes off. A two belt reduction set up could get around that easy enough if the pulley won't just unbolt. I don't know if I would want to do anything perm to the machine itself.
