Members Gregg From Keystone Sewing Posted April 10, 2019 Members Report Posted April 10, 2019 It sounds OK actually. Is the motor shaft spinning on the pulley?

Members brmax Posted April 10, 2019 Members Report Posted April 10, 2019 You may have to make a longer video, especially showing your transmission to the machine head, that sounds interesting. I understand your idea of speed control, then using some existing pulley transmission system. Although some more views or photos of all this is really required. It can sure help me understand better, your reason the servo is not slow enough or the control is not, and requiring a constant other setting. As this control part is something many of us have had to address in several ways. Good day Floyd Quote
Members Rolandranch Posted April 10, 2019 Members Report Posted April 10, 2019 My servo motor went out a while back. Turned out the circuit board burned out, a common problem with servo motors. Replaced the board and running great. Quote

Members dikman Posted April 11, 2019 Members Report Posted April 11, 2019 Odd. It sounded like the motor was spinning in your vid. If that's the case then I'd say the electronics are shot?

Members dikman Posted April 14, 2019 Members Report Posted April 14, 2019 I've been listening to it again (and again, and again....). It looks like a brush motor (I think I see one of the brush mounts in front?) so I wonder if the brush(es) are worn out or broken. It certainly sounds like something is spinning, though. Quite perplexing. Quote Machines wot I have - Singer 51W59; Singer 331K4; Seiko STH-8BLD; Pfaff 335; CB4500. Chinese shoe patcher; Singer 201K (old hand crank)
Members SARK9 Posted April 14, 2019 Members Report Posted April 14, 2019 The noises it makes suggest it IS spinning when you activate the pedal....if the shaft is not free-spinning inside the pulley (broken/missing key) or loose set screw/nut/other fastener, then its possible the output shaft itself could be broken at a point past the brushes. Stranger things have happened. 5 hours ago, dikman said: It looks like a brush motor (I think I see one of the brush mounts in front?) These old-school brush motors with a max-rpm limit dial have been used in some form on sewing machines since at least the 70's....one example is seen here on the old White model 970 from way back. -DC Quote Machines: Juki LU-563, Consew 206-RB5, Singer 20U33, Pfaff 481, Mitsubishi CU-865-22, Consew 29B, Rebadged Juki LU-562, Mitsubishi LS2-180, Seiko SK-6, Juki LG-158-1
