Description

Take the guesswork out of tension restoration with this original complete upper thread tension assembly for the Pfaff 130 — in excellent condition. Every component needed for a full tension rebuild is included, tested, and ready to install. No hunting for individual parts, no mismatched components.

  • Fits: Pfaff Model 130
  • Condition: Original vintage Pfaff — excellent condition

Complete Assembly Includes:

  • Tension Stud/Shaft — The central rod that holds the internal release pin
  • Tension Discs — Two metal discs positioned convex side to convex side to create the thread path
  • Check Spring / Take-Up Spring (Part #7141) — Controls thread slack during stitch formation. Also available separately in our store.
  • Tension Spring and Cup — Heavy coil spring and metal housing that provides clamping pressure on the thread
  • Adjusting Nut/Dial — Original Bakelite knob used to set the tension level
  • Internal Release Pin — Small metal pin that automatically releases tension when the presser foot is lifted

Inconsistent tension, thread breakage, or a seized tension dial are telltale signs this assembly needs attention. Replacing the complete unit — rather than individual components — ensures all parts are properly matched and functioning together as designed. The original Bakelite adjusting knob gives this assembly the correct period-correct look and feel.
