Benefits

Consistent Thread Tension

The adjustable tension system allows the thread to be controlled according to the sewing application, helping maintain uniform button-stitch formation.

Smooth Thread Movement

The thread passes through the tension components in a controlled path, reducing unnecessary friction that can contribute to inconsistent thread delivery.

Durable Industrial Construction

The metal construction is designed for repeated tension cycles and regular use on industrial button attaching equipment.

Better Thread Control

A correctly functioning tension assembly helps maintain the required thread pressure throughout the sewing cycle, supporting consistent stitch quality.

Direct Replacement

The assembly is designed for installation on compatible industrial button sewing machines using the corresponding tension-guide arrangement.

Machine Compatibility

This is a machine-specific industrial button-sewing thread tension assembly compatible with:

Part Number: B3109-377-0A0 / B31093770A0 / B3109-377-000

Specifications

How To Use

First, switch off the button sewing machine and make sure the needle and machine mechanism are stationary before replacing the tension assembly.

Next, remove the existing tension-guide assembly from the machine’s upper thread-control area while keeping track of the original mounting position and thread path.

Then, install the B3109-377-0A0 assembly in the corresponding position and route the thread through the tension components in the correct sequence.

Finally, adjust the thread tension according to the sewing application and run a test button on scrap material before returning the machine to production.

FAQs

What is the B3109-377-0A0 used for?

The B3109-377-0A0 is a thread tension guide/tension assembly used on compatible industrial button attaching machines. It controls thread tension as the thread passes through the tension components, helping maintain consistent thread delivery during button sewing. Proper tension is important because the Juki MB-372/373 documentation specifically provides dedicated thread-tension adjustment procedures.

Is B3109-377-0A0 compatible with Juki MB-373?

Yes. B3109-377-0A0 is specified for the Juki MB-373 and compatible MB-series button attaching machines listed for this product. The MB-373 service documentation includes dedicated tension-disc and thread-tension adjustments, confirming that thread tension is an important part of the machine’s sewing setup.

Does it fit Juki MB-372?

Yes. This assembly is specified for the Juki MB-372. The MB-372/MB-373 instruction material identifies separate tension posts for controlling button-sewing thread tension and explains that adjustment depends on the thread, fabric, and button thickness.

Can thread tension cause loose button stitches?

Yes. Incorrect thread tension can affect stitch tightness and thread control. Juki’s MB-372/373 instructions specifically include thread-tension adjustment and explain that different tension settings are used for the button stitches and the thread at the button root.

Can a worn tension assembly cause thread breakage?

A worn or incorrectly adjusted tension system can contribute to thread-control problems, but thread breakage can have several causes. Juki’s service documentation lists thread breakage among stitching troubles and provides corrective measures involving tension, thread-release timing, and other machine adjustments.

Is this a complete thread tension system?

Yes, this listing is for 1 piece of the B3109-377-0A0 thread tension guide/tension assembly as specified.

How do I install the thread tension guide?

First, switch off the machine. Next, remove the existing tension assembly while observing the original thread route. Then, mount the replacement in the corresponding position and thread it correctly through the tension components. Finally, test the machine and adjust tension for the selected thread and button-sewing application.
