Product Description

Please note: No, our synchronizer does not work on Adler, Pfaff or Consew machines because of the difference in shaft size and diameter compared to Reliable machines we make them for. .

Beauty and Brawn
The SewQuiet 6000SM brushless DC servomotor is a modern-day marvel of ingenuity and technology, crafted and designed to exceed your expectations. This is the only servomotor to incorporate a full 12-coil (vs. 6 or 9) design. This provides unparalleled power and torque, the kind of torque that’s needed to work with the toughest materials. And for those looking to add a synchronizer to your motor, it’s now available as a low cost stand-alone option.

Calibrated Control
The SewQuiet 6000SM represents the fourth generation of Reliable’s energy saving servomotor innovation. Precision step-by step stitching for detailed sewing, the ability to plug in a grounded light directly to the rear of the motor, UL/CSA certified electrical components and the total silence that gives the SewQuiet its name… the new 6000SM takes everything we’ve learned about motors over the past 60 years to new heights.

Main Features
• 550W power
• More torque than conventional clutch or servomotors
• Up to 75% energy savings
• Digital speed control
• Clockwise pully rotation (and counterclockwise directions for serger and blind stitch machines)
• Built-in overload protection
• Instruction manual with speed settings included

Includes one 60mm installed pulley

*This is a breakthrough in servomotor technology, the first 12-coil design, the torque is so strong you can't hold the pulley with your hand (more torque even then a clutch motor).

Reliable Newest Model 6000SM Motors are now shipping, 550 Watts, 3/4HP Motor Brushless, No Clutch, Dial RPM Speed Control, Reverse, 2 Overload Fuses, Auxillary Power Outlet

"Step Stitch will give you the stitch by stitch speed control you need. The servo motor variable speed is affected by the torque of the machine mechanics and materials being sewn more than just the torque of the motor. Some machines will have better variable speed control than others depending on the torque of the machine (how easy it is to turn the hand wheel over materials being used). The speed control dial is digital, and cannot be preset to exact stitches per minute, only RPM because of the differences in machines and materials." John Douthat, Owner and Tech

Other Features


You can set the speed on these motors from 100 rpm up to 3800 rpm in 100 rpm increments.

*Exclusive Electronic Controlled "Step Stitch" Function allows for one stitch at a time sewing by leather workers or anyone who needs stitch by stitch control for small items and turning corners.

More torque at 600W than conventional clutch or servomotors at 400-550W, replacement, for existing clutch motors with no speed control, or undependable dc motors, Up to 75% energy savings!

NO CLUTCH, NO BRUSHES, NO PROBLEM: The SewQuiet 6000SM brushless DC servomotor is designed to operate all light to heavy-duty industrial sewing machines.

The brushless DC servomotor design which has very good torque even at low speeds; uses a laser sensor instead of a traditional mechanical clutch. This design gives the operator a graded acceleration compared to the abrupt type of acceleration common with a clutch motor.

QUIET AND CONTROLLED: With the SewQuiet 6000SM, the noise that is normally associated with sewing motors (clutch and servo) is almost entirely eliminated, creating a more pleasant work environment.

Whether you are an advanced sewer or a beginner, the SewQuiet 6000SM's microprocessor controller gives the user an unparalleled connection to the sewing machine, allowing for speed or detailed work. A "stepping" speed can be achieved which allows for literally, a step by step control of the sewing speed. This makes sewing detailed work much easier.

From the utmost in speed control technology and the ability to reduce costs with improved energy usage, to the 'oh, sew quiet' work environment, choosing the Reliable SewQuiet 6000SM is simply the smarter choice.

SIMPLE SET-UP
Everything you need to get your Sewquiet up and running is supplied in the box.

    Consew 206RB Owners!Just a word of caution regarding our optional synchronizer and the Consew model sewing machines. Our synchronizer comes with 2 size of mounting screws, 7mm & 8mm.
    The diameter of the shaft of the hand wheel of the Consew models have changed over the years so it is best to ask the Consew customers of the diameter of the shaft of their machine to make sure that either the 7MM or the 8mm screw will fit. Reliable

Simply thrilled once again by your products. I am so appreciative of the service I have received from your whole team! You have a customer for years to come! Alexande Nemet, Evolution Yachting INC.

Comparisons

Reliable produces the SewQuiet motors to the UL/CSA standard. So the biggest differences is the plastic housing on the Reliable is UL grade plastic. It won't burn if its caught on fire. The component and wiring quality are all the same UL/CSA standard. In Canada where the Reliable ships from, it's illegal to sell a non UL/CSA electrical component. The US government doesn't regulate this the same as Canada. The end result is the Reliable has a better made motor, but it costs more to make. They are not allowed to use an external on/off switch for the same reason, they don't use fire retardant plastic. To solve this Reliable put a UL certified switch in the front of the motor, so a housing is not needed. Their engineers also devised a step stitch function in their motor that allows for maximum speed control. This is a unique feature and is ideal in a setting where speed control is important.

Do I need a different pulley?
 The optional 50 mm pulley is no longer required with the SewQuiet SQ5000 and 6000SM motors. The Reliable SewQuiet 6000SM motor does come with a 60mm pulley and will work with the customer's existing table, however they might need a new belt that is longer than their existing one and the length will vary based on their type of sewing head. First try adjusting the belt that came with your existing set up, since you can change the height of the new servo motor to adjust belt tension.

Comments & Reviews

Louise J, New Orleans LA
I rated customer service N/A only because I have not had to call in for this order. Everything looks great so far. The only concern I had about t the motor is that it did not come with complete installation instructions. The information included was about how to put together the belt cover. I had to go to the Reliable website to find out how to install the motor. Thankfully it was very easy.

James S, Montrose CO

Chris C, Redmond OR
This is a fantastic motor and exceeds my expectations!! A whole world of difference from my old clutch motor!!

Raymond O, Wisconsin Rapids WI
Love the Servo motor. Easy to install. Works great. I bought this sewing machine with a clutch motor and this motor has made this machine a stitch by stitch operation that I needed and wanted. Thanks.

Carolyn W, Natchez MS
Excellent! This is why I choose to purchase through all brands. Love the service!

Eman E, Stafford VA
I just placed the order for the motor you recommended, Order #2302535, I Can't wait to get it and start use it :) I just wanted to thank you one more time for your help and your responses to my inquiries.

Natalie P, Chappel NE
Excellent Customer service - phones were down so I emailed and got a quick response. Can't beat the prices. All brands goes above and beyond to help you with any issue. They will definitely be my 'go to' for my industrial sewing machine needs. Love the Servo motor, it has taken my industrial sewing up several notches, giving me the control I couldn't always get with my old clutch motor. The servo is quiet and energy efficient too. Thanks!!

Natalie, Nebraska
The motor is installed, proper belt on - sorry I didn't invest in the Servo years ago! I love the control it gives me! Thank you all so much!!

Bob Utech, Wisconsin
I have struggled with the speed on several different machines. Tried the smaller pulleys. Like most occasional users, by the time the project (car interior) is completed my skills catchup to the machine. This time I read a blog on the new 6000SM motor and did not hesitate, I ordered it the same night. It arrive 2 days ago, its like I have a new machine (Seiko STH-8BLD-3). Sewing will be fun again. I set the speed at 1200 and that is perfect for my needs. It will start stitch by stitch through 4 layers of vinyl, plus the upholstery board. I am a happy man! (and its quite) If you are not happy with your machine, This is money well spent! Your sewing stress will go way down!

Kelly Dannemann, Land of Enchantment
Awesome product!! I use this on my Juki 1181. Works great, have had it for a year now, got my servo motor with the positioner ( gives the ability to leave the machine in up or down position, extra attachment added to machine) have not tried that yet. I was so happy with my motor. Allbrands and Reliable answered all my questions before purchase and made. The motor is very quiet and it is relaxing while I am sewing. There are no sudden jerks with this motor. It stops when you stop, it starts out slow and smooth. My favorite part is the step by step stitching, gives me great accuracy while sewing on my leather work, as well as heavy upholstery and regular canvas products. The motor is great, even with my Juki, I can even sew on cotton fabrics. I would highly recommend this product. For me it has been an overall great experience.

Lisa P, Augusta GA
John, I want to thank you for your recommendations. I am currently using the SewQuiet Servo Motor and it is devine! I am going to get another one for my lock stitch machine (when the budget permits). I love the service that you provide. Your company embodies the real meaning of customer service. Sincerely, Lisa P

Roman, Missouri
I wanted to express my 100% satisfaction with a purchase. Reliable sew quiet 5000 motor. I've never been more satisfied with your quick service and for providing an exceptional product to me. Thank You very much.

Good service. Thanks

Dean J, Nanaimo BC
Dear Reliable Corp. Staff, We have tried your technology for a few days now and our dressmakers love the new SewQuiet 5000 motor/controllers. They replaced our old original 10A electric clutch motors used in our industrial machines. Our first noticeable difference was the very quiet operation - WOW - what an improvement there! I shall be monitoring our electric bill to see if there is an improvement area too. I am looking forward to a pleasant surprise. The speed variability is also a nice touch so that our more junior staff will not be quite so intimidated by industrial machines. They can increase speed as proficiency is gained! So far, we love them! Thank You, Dean I. J

Ray M, Lansing MI
John, Thanks for helping me out. I called and talked to Nathan at Reliable. I suspected a loose wire inside the unit and let him know I am an electrician. He said it would be fine if I popped it open and checked it out. Just as I thought, a loose connection, the quick connect terminal block supplying 120v to the board had come off. I just plugged it back in (Its in the upper left hand corner). Now it appears to be all good again. Saved everyone time and money. My second sew quiet 5000 arrived in the mail today also. It was very nice to call and talk an actual person at your company today. Thanks and have a great day. Ray

Lawrence, California
I received my sewquiet SQ5000 yesterday and within 1 hour I had it installed and wired up with a switch that turns on my light and motor at the same time. The only problem I had was finding a longer V belt. After about 20 minutes of rummaging around in Pep Boys, I found the correct length belt. The motor is FANTASTIC, I can sew at extremly slow speeds which is great when rounding corners or when you just need to sew slowly. My old clutch motor would start slow then abruptly speed up. I have a great deal of control with this setup and it makes using my old Consew sewing machine a real pleasure

Donna R, Middleville MI
Shouldn't be sold without the 50mm pulley because it still wouldn't run properly on my Consew. Had to order pulley to fit from Canada lots of cash to ship. Now it works GREAT. Almost useless without the smaller pulley. Donna R

I just installed a sew quiet motor on a Tacsew 226rb and it seemed like it had unlimited power. I had to turn it down to about 25% to slow it down. It still had tons of torque at only 25% speed. Seth

Michelle, Georgia
I'm thrilled!

Willie E., Frederick OK
I used a consew servo motor prior to this one and the consew servo motor can not even come close to this one, very pleased. Willie E.

David, Utah
Great product-not sure how I have managed without a sevo motor on my machines. Thx

Reliable Corp, Toronto CANADA
Yes, our Sewquiet 4000 would be the perfect choice for this model. In fact, as you know we have our own version of the DNU-1541 (MSK-1541S) and it is a very popular choice here. We always pair it up with the Sewquiet 4000. You can get very good control with this motor, particularly at slow speed which is what the customer is looking for. The motor will give a stitch or two when the motor is turned off, but only if the pedal (treadle) is pressed. I would also suggest our #50 pulley to give the customer extra control, as she has indicated this is more important than speed. The motor will install just like their current motor. There is no plug-in for a light. The light would need to go into a wall outlet.

Evelyn, New Hampshire
Extremely happy with the Servo!

Reliable Corp, Toronto CANADA
Have you noticed that most servomotors on the market look alike? It’s not terribly surprising that they pretty much all perform alike as well With the introduction of the new Sewquiet™ 4000 by Reliable Corporation the servomotor market will never be the same again. The Sewquiet™ 4000 is the 1st DC servomotor with true quiet performance. No more buzzing sound at low speed, no more loss of power. The secret is our new PC board that is the heart and soul of the 4000. Once you’ve tried the Sewquiet™ 40000, you’ll find it very hard to go back to your old clutch or servomotor again. Yes it costs more than regular servomotors. But for only a few dollars extra, you can offer your customers true servomotor performance. Plus, we have designed and are producing the Sewquiet™ 4000 with UL/CSA approved components. The best part about our new Sewquiet™ 4000 servomotors… they are included on all of our industrial Reliable™ sewing machines, at no additional charge.

William, Conestee, SC
I enjoy doing business with AllBrands.com. Your service is excellent!

Bobby P., Troy, AL
Very fast service. I have used the product and am very satisfied with the deal. Thanks, I plan to contact you again as I need other items.

Duane B, Niceville FLA
Your email is pretty impressive customer service. I'm not upset about the long wait. The price was the best on the Internet anywhere. Thanks, Duane

Norman V, Las Vegas NV
For upholstery and leather customers, you should stock and promote the 50mm pulley as an accessory for the Reliable 3000 motor. The small pulley is the ticket to real control and punching power. The combination of the 3000 motor and the small pulley is unique. Even with the small pulley, the 3000 can run as fast as anyone in their right mind would want to go on heavy stuff.
