They run on a toothed timing belt around the machine. Belt type, tooth pitch and length have to suit the feeder and the machine, so order belts and feeders together when you can.

Delivery rate is set by belt speed and the driven wheel diameter, then checked by measuring loop length on the fabric. Adjust in small steps and re-measure.
