Long Life Longarm

A new lot of 38200 Samsons is being built by Union Special Machine Company, 72 years after the first machines. The Samson is the granddaddy of all longarms, with a full 40" of work space, and constructed with a solid, one-piece head.

If you sew bulky items like tents, awnings, pool covers, truck tarps, boat tarps, banners, etc., you’ll sew them more easily with the Samson. It’s the ideal machine for efficient seaming operations on canvas, woven poly or heavy gauge vinyl.

A unique drive enables the 40" long sewing arm to sew through up to a half-inch of some types of materials, without losing power or speed. This wide under arm space eliminates the effort and time needed to fold and roll wide sections of material during seaming operations. Plus, a powerful 1¼" (33mm) wide roller puller is built-in behind the needles to further reduce operator effort.

The 38200 Samson is a three-needle 24 gauge chainstitch machine (3/8", 9.5mm). For production flexibility, the middle needle may be removed to make a two-needle ¾" wide seam, or two needles may be removed for a single row of 401 stitch. The entire sewing head is mounted to a solidly manufactured steel stand, which is fitted with casters for mobility.

The standard Samson style is the 38200C24-362. The motor is 220V, 60Hz, 3 Phase, but other electrical requirements can be specified.

Get the strength and space you need to do the job right with the Union Special® 38200 Samson—the 72-year-old that’s still going strong.
