Another *your Opinion* Thread

Somebody outta invent a stand that will hold multiple machines 'n let you rotate them so that the one you want to use is on top, the others down and out of the way.

I'm enjoying the comradery here...

I don't have anything to offer but that I've seen the same thing when a speed reducer is introduced to a $200 range type motor.

I only have a theory, and only that, but for example Efka motors have what would be called a positioning speed setting. This is, as you can imagine, where you could set the speed for needle positioning. For example, machine runs at 2000 RPM, but the motor is set to position the handwheel at say 400 RPM. This is an example of one of many many settings, but just understand, that this is considered a condition, or mode, if you will. None of these motors have provisions for this that are in the $200 range, and do not really need to for what they do in most cases.

I think what may be happening is that the speed reducer is making it take too long to position the needle, and that the motor my be giving a motor blockage signal and shutting down the motor with an error message. Almost like a time out error. Again, this is only my own theory, and I really have not pinned this down. I don't know what else it could be when considering these motor work properly otherwise, without the speed reducer setup.
