Description
Description
Needle Plate Locating Plunger 82171 - Alignment Pin
Part Number: 82171
Type: Needle plate locating plunger / release pin
Related Parts: Works with Needle Plate Locating Plunger Spring #82172 and Releasing Lever #82173
Function and Purpose:
The Locating Plunger is a specialized alignment pin used in the needle plate and pinion assembly of vintage industrial shoe patcher machines. It is designed to lock or release the needle plate in a specific position to facilitate maintenance and directional sewing operations on leather goods and footwear.
Key Functions:
Needle Plate Alignment: Ensures the needle plate is perfectly centered over the pinion and shuttle mechanism, which is critical for accurate 360-degree directional stitching on boots, bags, and leather repairs.
Release Mechanism: Functions as a release pin, allowing the operator to quickly disengage or reposition components during leather repair tasks and maintenance procedures without disassembling the entire needle plate assembly.
Mechanical Stability: Prevents the plate from shifting under the high pressure of industrial leather sewing, maintaining consistent stitch quality and preventing needle strikes or timing issues during heavy-duty operations.
When to Replace:
Replace this plunger if the needle plate becomes loose, shifts during sewing, or if the release mechanism fails to hold the plate securely. A worn plunger can cause alignment issues and inconsistent stitch formation on leather work.
Compatible Singer Models:
Singer 29K Class: 29K71, 29K73
Singer 29U Series: 29U171A, 29U172A, 29U173A
Generic Compatibility: Fits most patcher and cobbler machines that follow the original Singer 29K design
Professional Tip: For complete repair, pair this plunger with the Needle Plate Locating Plunger Spring (Part #82172), which provides the tension required for the plunger to stay properly seated. Regular inspection of this assembly ensures reliable needle plate positioning for professional leather work.
