catskin Report post Posted January 31, 2021 (edited) Just wondering if anyone has put a servo motor on a BUSM / peirson # 6 machine? Did a search and no luck. Edited January 31, 2021 by catskin spelling Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Constabulary Report post Posted February 3, 2021 I once owned a BUSMC / DVSG #6HM and played with the idea of motorizing it (actually never did) I talked to LW Member SINGERMANIA back then and he said you can add a servo. But to be honest I personally would go with a clutch motor because the machine flywheel is quite heavy and the servos only have an electronic brake whereas the clutch motors have large mechanical brake. I think the clutch motor brakes are more durable and may last longer in the long view. But that's just my opinion. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
catskin Report post Posted February 3, 2021 I actually have a clutch motor on it. But have not sorted out how to make a convenient lever for engaging it. With my speed reducer it goes at a reasonable speed. Just thought the variable speeds with a servo would be nice. I would add a picture but seems the one picture I posted a long time ago took up all my allowance. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
