What Is A Servo Motor?
If you’ve ever used a sewing machine that seemed to be pretty loud, that’s probably because it’s a clutch motor. Standard in many older machines, it gets the job done. But a clutch motor heats up after consistent use, and the noise can be really distracting.
Enter the Servo Motor.
This type of motor is built differently. It is brushless and with no moving parts. It’s quieter and uses up to 70% less energy than the clutch motor. Because it uses less energy, it’s also cooler than a clutch, keeping your sewing room or facility cooler (especially with multiple machines.) Plus, less heat means lower energy bills for your home or facility.
JUKI DDL-8700 FAQs
What kind of needles do you use in the DDL-8700?
The needles with your JUKI are the Organ DBx1, available on our website. This machine uses size 16×257, size 8 through 20 or 16×97. The 8700 can also use standard needles, sizes 9 through 21, universal or fabric-specific needles such as knit.
Where does the machine oil go?
A pan directly underneath the machine supplies oil to the machine with a cotton wick. Lift the machine up and over to access the oil tank while on the table. You must keep the machine’s oil level consistently at the «high» mark, either by adding more oil or draining it and refilling it as needed. If the oil pump can’t get the oil into the machine, it can cause serious problems later.
What kind of oil does this machine require?
You need a specific type, like motor oil in your car, to keep this machine running. The DDL-8700 requires JUKI New Defrix Oil No.1, equivalent to ISO VG7.
What size table can I get with this machine?
Our table has legs and is 22"w x 47"l. It includes a knee and foot pedals and a left-hand drawer for accessories.
Does the DDL 8700 make buttonholes?
No. The 8700 only does straight stitching, with a horizontal bar on the right side for a reverse stitch.
