FOREWORD

('

The Classes 54200 and 54400 streamlined machines covered by this catalog, represent the latest design in the UNION SPECIAL flat bed line. Light weight needle bars and driving mechanisms and light weight presser bars make it possible to attain the utmost in speed and production. Automatic lubrication, with a pump for returning filtered oil to the main reservoir has made maintenance simple. A conveniently located throw-out device enables the operator to disengage the loopers from their drivingmechanism, thus exposing the heel and eye of eachlooperforeasythreading. Some styles are equipped with a close coupled puller, with the clutch mechanism in the upper roller, to insure a uniformly controlled feeding, and an elastic metering device to allow the required amount of elastic in each garment; All parts are made by precision methods insuring complete interchangeability'.

It is our constant aim to furnish carefully prepared information which will enable our customers to secure all possible economies from the use of UNION SPECIAL machines. The following pages illustrate and describe the parts for styles in Classes 54200 and 54400.

Additional catalogs, containing information relative to these machines and which will be furnished on request, are listed below:

IDENTIFICATION OF MACHINES

Each UNION SPECIAL carries a style number which is stamped in the name plate on the machine. Style numbers are classified as standard and special. Standard style numbers have one or more letters suffixed, but never contain the letter "Z". Example: "Style 54200 A". Special style numbers contain the letter "Z". When only minor changes are made in a standard machine, a "Z" is suffixed to the standard style number. .Example: "54200 AZ".

Styles of machines similar in construction are grouped under a class number, which differs from the style number, in that it contains no letters. Example: "5420011

NEEDLES

Each UNION SPECIAL needle has both a type number and a size number. The type number denotes the kind of shank, point, length, groove, finish, and other details. The size number, stamped on the needle shank, denotes the largest diameter

of the blade, measured in thousandths of an inch, midway between the shank and the eye. Collectively, the type number and size number represents the complete symobl.

The standard needle for all Styles in Classes 54200 and 54400, is Type 113 GS, except Styles 54200 K, 54200 Nand 54200 P which uses needle Type 133 GS. The descriptions of these needles and the sizes available are listed below.

NEEDLES {Continued)

Selection of the proper needle size is determined by the size of thread used, Thread should pass freely through needle eye in order to produce a good stitch formation.

ORDERING REP AIR PARTS

ILLUSTRATIONS

This catalog has been so arranged as to simplify the ordering of repair parts. Exploded views of the various sections of the mechanism are shown so that the parts may be seen in their actual position in the machine, On the page opposite the illustration will be found the listing of the parts with their part number, descriptions, and the number of pieces required in the particular view being shown.

The numbers in the first column ·are reference numbers only, and indicate the position of that part in the illustration. The reference number should never be used in ordering parts. Always use the part number shown in the second column.

Those component parts of sub-assemblies, which can be furnished for repairs, are indicated by the fact that their descriptions are indented under the description of the main sub-assembly. Example:

29126

DE

Puller Drive Eccentric Assembly------------------------------

95

 

Screw---------------------------------------------------

2

22587

 

Bearing Cap Screw---------------------------------------

2

It will be noted in the above example that the eccentric and bearing are not listed. The reason for this is that the replacement of any of these parts individually is not recommended and the complete sub-assembly should be ordered.

In those cases where· a part is common to all of the machines covered by this catalog, no· specific usage will be mentioned in the description. However, when the parts for the various machines are not the same, the specific usage will be mentioned in the descriptions, and if necessary, the difference will be shown in the illustration.

At the back of the book will be found a numerical index of all the parts shown in

the illustrations, which will facilitate locating the illustration and description when only the part number is known.

IDENTIFYING PARTS

Where the construction permits, each part is stamped with its part number. On some smaller parts, and on those where the construction does not permit, an identification letter is stamped to distinguish the part from similar ones,

All part numbers represent the same part, regardless of the catalog in which they appear.

USE GENUINE NEEDLES AND REPAIR PARTS

Success in the operation of these machines can be secured only by the use of genuine UNION SPECIAL Needles and Repair Parts, as furnished by the Union Special Corporation, its subsidiaries and authorized distributors. They are designed according to the most approved scientific principles and made with the utmost precision. The maximum efficiency and durability are assured.

USE GENUINE NEEDLES AND REPAIR PARTS (Continued)

Genuine needles are packaged with labels marked ~.Genuine repair parts are stamped with the Union Special trademark, U S Emblem. Each trademark is your guarantee of the highest quality in materials and workmanship.

TERMS

Prices are strictly net cash and subject to change without notice. All shipments are forwarded at the buyer's risk f. o. b. shipping point. Parcel post shipments are insured unless otherwise directed. A charge is made to cover the postage and insurance.

OILING AND THREADING INSTRUCTIONS

The oil has been drained from the machine before shipping, and the reservoir must be filled ,before beginning to operate. Use a straight mineral oil with a Saybolt viscosity of 90 to 125 seconds at 100° Fahrenheit.

Oil is filledat.the spring cap in the top cover, and the oil level is checked at the sight gauge on the front of the machine. The capacity of the oil reservoir is twelve ounces.

The machine is almost entirely automatically lubricated, and no oiling other than an occasional drop of oil at both bearings of the retainer holder, the looper throw-out pin, and looper holder frame locking pin, as indicated in the oiling diagram, are required.

A daily check before the morning start should be made, to see that the level of

the oil in the main reservoir is

kept

between the two red lines on the gauge. Oil

which has

gone through the machine

is filtered and pumped back into the main

reservoir,

making too

frequent

oilings unnecessary.

Excessive oil in the main

reservoir

may be drained at the

plug

screw

in the main frame directly under the

handwheel.

Mter

draining oil, wipe the hole

and plug

screw dry, paint hole and

screw with a little gasket cement,

and re-assemble screw.

The accompanying

drawings

also show the manner in which the machine is

threaded.

Please

note,

that the needles are inserted in the needle holder with the

eyes in a

plane at

right angles to the

direction of line

of feed, and are threaded

from right to left •
