The connecting rod assembly performs several important functions in the bag closer machine:
- Transfers power from the motor to the sewing needle: The motor turns the connecting rod, which in turn turns the sewing needle. This movement causes the needle to pierce the bag and sew a stitch.
- Provides stability to the sewing needle: The bearings in the connecting rod assembly help to keep the sewing needle stable while it is stitching. This ensures that the stitches are evenly spaced and of high quality.
- Prevents damage to the machine: The connecting rod assembly helps to prevent damage to the machine by absorbing shock and vibration.
