SEWING
SPEED
The maximum sewing speed of this machine is 2,200 s.p.m. for normal sewing,but is 1,700 s.p.m.
for either
sewing
a synthetic fibermaterial or with a syntheticthread.
Considering
that the
sewing
works of today are made in most cases with synthetic fiber materials or thread, our standard
built-in motor pulley is for the speed of 1,700 s.p.m. If you operate the machine at such speeds
as 2,200 or 2,000 s.p.m., we are ready to supply a motor pulley and a belt upon your separate

The following table shows you the sewing speeds attained by the different combinations of the
motor pulleys and the driving belts. This machine employs 2 pieces of V-belts, one is for driving
