Energy saving motors for sewing machines

Abstract

During the current year the costs of natural gas has raised about 10 times, electricity prices have increased the similar dramatic way. However, textile industry still widely uses old generation machinery which consumes a lot of energy. New sewing machines in the market are available with two kinds of motors - traditional clutch motors and advanced servo motors. The old type clutch motors use maximum energy all the working day while the machine is switched on. The energy consumption of the servo motors depends on sewing speed and time. When the sewing process is stopped, servo motors operate in stand-by mode. Servo motors ensure to the sewing machine up to 70% less energy consumption than traditional clutch motors. They also ensure 15-30% higher work efficiency. The servo motors for sewing machines are widely available in the marker. The replacement of clutch motors to servo motors on the sewing machines is not complicated process.
