Members AEH Posted November 12, 2014 Author Members Report Posted November 12, 2014 @ AEH I can ask the guy who makes the speed reducer for me if he can make some more.I actually thought about a bigger 50mm / 200mm speed reducer for my Singer 133K. I will probably get a better price if I order more. When I look at your stand - there should be a hole in the right leg where once the shaft for the treadle pulley was - if you know what I mean. So this is perfect for adding a speed reducer. Pretty much the same situation as on my stand but I have a flange bolted on the leg. Your video are very convincing, and I am very near to go for a Jack 1 hp servo with a reducer. Would be very interesting to hear a ball park price and fabrication time for your speed reducer, very generous of you to offer your help. My table have the hole for the treadle wheel, and I believe that it is 15mm when some excess paint is removed. . The ting is that my table is constructed so as the supporting part between the legs (don't know what this is called in English) will be an obstruction if the distance from the leg to the far side of the wheel is more than 80 mm for a 150 mm wheel, or more than 50 mm for a 200 mm wheel. (Hope this make sense), Do you think this will be a problem? Thanks again, Arvid Quote Arvid Hoffarvid@murul.nowww.murul.nowww.arbeidskar.no
Members Constabulary Posted November 12, 2014 Members Report Posted November 12, 2014 (edited) I don´t think you have to worry. You once had a huge treadle wheel on your stand and the speed reducer is much smaller! The width of the speed reducer is about 4.5 - 5cm + 1 adjusting ring of about 1.5cm width on either side. But in case you don`t have enough space you probably have to move the table plate a bit to the left or to the right. I can´t tell from the picture how much space you need but when you go straight down from the balance wheel (just how the V- belt will run) then there is the position of the small pulley. Position of the large pulley is your choice... If the hole in the leg is 15mm then you just have to buy a 15mm shaft of the needed length and 2 or 4 15mm adjusting rings. Maybe you can buy these parts locally but I can ask for prices too - I don´t mind. If the leg has 1 or 2 set screws for fixing the shaft you only need 2 rings - if there are no set screws you need 4 adjusting rings. You know what I mean?

Members AEH Posted November 13, 2014 Author Members Report Posted November 13, 2014 With a total with of 50mm for the reducer pulleys there should be no problem. There are no set screws for the leg hole. If your fabricator can deliver shaft and adjusting rings it would be the most convenient solution for me, I may have problems with finding these parts her in my town. I have been looking at this speed reducer: http://shop.raphaelsewing.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=354 With shipping and taxes it probably will cost me about €150, just to suggest a cost limit for me for such a project.

Members Constabulary Posted November 13, 2014 Members Report Posted November 13, 2014 I´m sure it will be cheaper. My current pulleys were just 40€ but they are for 8mm V-belts and 150mm in diamter so It hink the 200mm one for 10mm V-belts will be a bit more - I asume 50-55€. But I have to ask. Shaft and adjsuting rings are not very ecpensive I think. BTW - how long do you need the shaft?

Members AEH Posted November 13, 2014 Author Members Report Posted November 13, 2014 A very good price, I think. 50+(4x1.5)+20=130 mm, so with a little protruding space, let's say 160 mm shaft. Sounds good? Btw, I will order the Jack 750W motor tomorrow. Quote Arvid Hoffarvid@murul.nowww.murul.nowww.arbeidskar.no

Sounds good? Btw, I will order the Jack 750W motor tomorrow. Got the prices - reducer pulley 50mm / 200mm is 50€, the 160mm shaft is 8€ and the 4 adjustment rings are 2€ each. This already includes shipping to my address. Shipping to Norway is extra. I assume weight will be below 1 Kg so registered shipping will be ~10€. So if you or someone else is interested please send me a PM within the next 3-4 days. BTW - I´m not sure if 160mm is enough, don´t forget the width of the flange in your leg...
