The Hover-Davis 44mm SSF is a multi-pitch tape feeder used with SIPLACE-compatible feeder systems for 44mm carrier tape. Known 44mm versions include SSF02-44 and SSF03-44, both designed around the same wide-tape feeding role rather than the later SIPLACE X Smart feeder family.
The 17 mm pocket-depth capability is relevant when 44mm carrier tape uses deeper pockets for taller or bulkier components. If indexing or pickup position becomes unstable, first check reel loading, tape and cover-tape routing, and the machine-side feeder connection before treating the complete feeder as the failed part.
Do not select this feeder from tape width alone. A 44mm Hover-Davis SSF and the SIPLACE 00141375 44mm X Smart feeder belong to different feeder systems; use of an SSF feeder on an X-Series setup also depends on the appropriate adapter configuration.

For quotation, send the complete feeder label, SSF02 or SSF03 marking if legible, exact machine model, 44mm tape application, required pocket depth or component height, and clear photos of the installed feeder. These details determine whether the requirement is for the same SSF version or another feeder system.
For factories keeping older SIPLACE lines in production, a correctly identified spare SSF feeder can reduce the sourcing delay when an operating unit is removed for service. New and professionally tested used feeders can be matched against the confirmed model requirement, with warranty and return/exchange terms confirmed for the specific unit supplied.
