What Is a Servo Motor? 

The Workhorse Servo Motor only runs when your foot is on the pedal. This makes servo motors energy efficient and quiet. The Workhorse also offers a slow, stitch-by-stitch start, making it a great choice for sewers who need slow-speed sewing for detailed work, even in heavy assemblies. The Workhorse also features an adjustable maximum sewing speed that limits the top speed even when you push the pedal to the floor, giving you total control of your sewing.

The Workhorse motor’s speed control varies from 5 to 45, with 45 being the maximum speed setting. Even with the motor set at the top speed, you still have full pedal control and can sew stitch by stitch for complete control and precision.
