Power supplies
The Gen 7 Swashdrive will run on almost any power supply, but we strongly recommend the use of a quality bridge rectified Dual lab Instek, for the clean DC. Cheap single knob supplies with heaps of ripple & noise will reduce motor life somewhat.
Tested & Endorsed power
supplies for this machine.
Genuine GW Instek lab
Isotech lab (Model IPS303DD,
RS Components
part # 3256004)
The power supply should have no more than
Ripple & Noise ≥1.0mVrms ( 5Hz~1MHz )
(rating current <3A )
Tested and endorsed:
Genuine GW Instek, Isotech Lab
Set Power Supply
before starting Swash
Gen VI:
This is important on START-UP to deliver full amps
and then
settle to what the machine draws at desired voltage.
-
SET at ZERO Volts
-
SET at FULL AMPS
- Hit foot pedal and use Voltage knob to increase speed.
The Swashplate
The swashplate mechanism that drives the needle action is a very efficient means to convert the rotational motion of the electric motor to the reciprocating motion of the needle producing an approximate advantage of 15:1.
The swashplate delivers a sine wave motion - constant needle velocity - throughout the cycle producing a smooth non-stopping continuous motion as compared to the stop and start of conventional crank, cam (2-dimension) and coils. Only the swashplate can make use of all 3-dimension axes to create the natural fluid cyclic reciprocating action that produces a constant "brush-like" artistry feel experienced by fine art painting.
A small precision bearing has been added in the anvil
area to remove
the "rock-over" that was so hard on grommets
and nipples.
The Anvil area is now part of the C shape pivot clip.
Included are 4 replacement "C-Clips" with every machine.
Looking down at the Swash from above:
The motor will run in either direction
by Craig Wyeth says it likes CLOCKWISE direction.
RCA type connector wiring:
Positive (+) (Red wire) connected to center terminal
Negative (-) (Black wire) connected to
outer shield
Binding Posts for Spring type CLIP CORD
connector wiring:
Positive (+) (Red wire) connected to Top Post
Negative (-) (Black wire) connected to Bottom Post
If your Gen 6 is not running switch the clip cord around.

We apologize to tattoo people
looking for detailed info on the Swashdrive. We had to remove a lot
of content from
www.swashdrive.com.au because PARASITE SUPPLIERS were using the
Tech Help info to clone a
GOLD COLOR KNOCKOFF of our hard earned invention. Don't be
fooled.
The Swashdrive is a high tech device with quality components!
