Sewing machines with oscillating shuttle hook

Oscillating (vertical) shuttle

— oscillating shuttles have only a vertical layout. This is a simple, inexpensive and at the same time reliable mechanism, which also makes the device practically “omnivorous”: many models with swinging shuttles can cope with thick coarse fabrics that are “too tough” for other types of machines. In addition, in such a shuttle, the method of thread tension is very simply regulated. Among the disadvantages of this option, it is worth noting an increased level of vibration and noise, a relatively low speed, as well as a more complicated threading procedure than in horizontal shuttles.
