Clinton's Model 970 is an electronically controlled variable speed drive for industrial sewing machines.
The drive consists of a brushless DC Servo Mini-Taurus motor, controller with a microprocessor, speed
control and a programmable LCD display as an option. No clutches, brakes or synchronizer are used.
All components interact to give a fast accurate and reliable sewing machine drive. The components of
the system are shown in figure below.
The model 970 has outputs for a trimmer, footlift, wiper and needle cooler. It can be used to operate all
Clinton trimmers, as well as the Singer, Union Special, Pfaff, Juki and Brother undertrimmers and chain
