Description
A013 Looper Holder Rod Bushing for GK9 Portable Bag Closer
The A013 Latch Needle Bottom Axle Sleeve, also known as the Looper Holder Rod Bushing, is a precision replacement component designed for GK9 portable bag closer machines. This internal sleeve supports the lower looper holder rod, helping maintain smooth shaft movement and accurate hook timing for reliable bag stitching.
A properly fitted looper holder rod bushing minimizes shaft wear, reduces vibration, and keeps the looper mechanism aligned for consistent stitch formation. It is an ideal replacement when the original sleeve becomes worn, causing excessive play, noise, or skipped stitches.
This replacement part is compatible with many GK9-style handheld bag stitching machines commonly used for closing woven polypropylene sacks, jute bags, burlap bags, canvas bags, and multi-wall paper bags.
Please verify the shape and measurements of your existing part before purchasing. Also cross-check your machine’s parts manual to ensure compatibility.

Why Replace the Looper Holder Rod Bushing?
The bushing serves as a precision guide for the oscillating looper holder rod. As it wears over time, excessive clearance can develop between the shaft and sleeve.
Replacing a worn sleeve can help:
- Improve stitch consistency
- Reduce machine vibration
- Maintain accurate hook timing
- Prevent uneven shaft movement
- Minimize internal wear
- Support smoother machine operation
Routine replacement of worn internal bushings helps extend the service life of the looper mechanism.
