Direct Drive Machine vs Normal Industrial Machine. All The Difference You Need To Know

[@IamMeenaKadiri]

Informative thanks. My honest opinion is, don't be discouraged if you already have your clutch industrial sewing machine, it also does the work and as per speed, you can control it. Imagine driving your car at 150km/hr as to driving it at 20km/hr. Also consider the financial aspect. Guys pls love whatever machine you have just as you love yourself one day money go flourish and then you can get whatever luxury machine you desire. God bless our hustle. Ire o!

Thank you so much for this... I've been using direct drive where i work but the Bobbin winder got spoilt and the engineer said they can't repair it since since the part are not in Nigeria but i just bought the normal two lion machine to be on a safee side

[@Gharqcouture.]

Thanks a lot for the info. I want to buy an industrial machine and I was checking out videos that would tell the difference between the machines and I came across this. Now I’m convinced on what I actually want and the machine I’m buying ❤

[@aliuluqman636]

Good day. Thanks for the information. But I think the direct drive is more 💯 % stronger, neater, and more automatic than the clutch sewing. I have the two in my shop I have used them and saw a lot different between them. Firstly, when it's comes to strong fabric (thick fabric) the direct drive does a better job.it can penetrate any thickness of fabric without any skipping of thread..when you have a bad connection /high voltage the direct drive simply tells you by show E07 or E01 (error) and it will on its own stop working (sewing). When your thread gets into the engine (the bobbin case engine it will also tell you by showing E07.. When your voltage is low it will show off yet it will still be working but the speed will reduce.. The direct drive also have the needle settings and also the curve speed settings. It also have the start up settings (when u want to start sewing your fabric you can set it to the number of stitches you want to strt in terms of speed before the actual speed of the machine.. It has a lot of advantages over the clutch machine.

[@Theonlychioma]

This has been a great and informative video. I have my eyes set on a seiko walking foot machine and many bag making videos have said to get a servo motor, but this machine is a clutch and I was worried that I wasn't getting a servo motor, but actually didn't know what they meant. So thank you for clearing the confusion up for me.

Direct Motor can also be used on inverter too.

[@jholden0]

Direct drive is a machine with the motor integrated into the machine with no belt. The main sewing shaft is driven directly by the motor. A traditional machine can use a clutch motor or a servo with a belt. Direct drive increases torque and reduces slipping in the case of a motor with a belt.

[@Theonlychioma]

Thank youuuuu 👏👏

I've been searching and nowhere...I mean nowhere does anyone give the power rating watts/hp of a direct drive machine making it very difficult to compare with an external powered machine. I understand because its direct coupled to the shaft, it doesn't loose power through the belt and pulleys and can be smaller. I'm also looking at a non direct drive serger with external servo mtr and the dealer suggested a 1hp servo motor upgrade instead of the std 1/2 hp. I'm not sure if thats enough power for 4 layers of denim like non-woven material 0.75 mm thick? He didn't think it was necessary to send him a sample?

Another difference is identifying machine problems A direct direct will stop working once there’s an issue with it(even to the smallest issues like fixing a needle wrongly).It also shows error on it display ranging from E-01 to E17 so you can easily identify the exact problem While a normal sewing machine will have you guessing what the problem is. Some problems are not even identifiable until maybe there are irregularities with the stitches.
