Members Pintodeluxe Posted April 1, 2019 Members Report Posted April 1, 2019 I highly recommend this type of speed reducer. I've had the standard double wheel variety of speed reducer before, and depending on where it's mounted you may not be able to tip your machine head back. With this box style reducer, everything sits in just the right spot. No new holes in the table, and you can still tip your machine back normally. They perform great! Quote
Members LivesInIndy Posted January 18, 2020 Members Report Posted January 18, 2020 I just purchased on of these, however there are no installation instructions. Anyone out there with at least a photo of the set up? My local industrial sewing machine guy wasn’t very helpful. Thanks. Quote
garypl Posted January 18, 2020 Report Posted January 18, 2020 It mounts right where the servo motor mounts and the servo motor is moved to the bottom of the speed reducer. Might have to get a different belt, but it’s very easy to install. Quote Cowboy 4500, Consew 206RB-4
toxo Posted January 18, 2020 Report Posted January 18, 2020 Don't know if there's a special reason for installing one of these but I always think there are easier things to try first. I replaced the handwheel on my old Durkopp with a 170mm pulley and I can do one stitch at a time. The handwheel is just propped up there for perspective. Quote

Look for a Taperlock V pulley and a Taperlock bush (15mm I think, I'll have to check) but that was for my Durkopp. You'll need the bush that fits your machine. It's a simple job and I have to say finding and using the handwheel now whilst working is easier and it has more torque . Here's what they look like.. http://www.bearingshopuk.co.uk/belts/v-belt-pulleys/?pulley_pitch=24133 http://www.bearingshopuk.co.uk/belts/taperlock-bushes/?bush_series=24274 Can't remember why I went with 170mm OD, bigger equals slower. The pulley on my Jack servo motor is around 74mm OD (55mm ID). I have smaller pulleys that I would've tried but the Jack shaft is smaller. With the needle positioner and practice I can do one stitch almost all the time. Quote
