http://www.clockparts.com/ Recognizing Distinctive Clock Motors Modern clock motors are electronic timekeepers that acquire their precision from crystals. Clock electric motors are likewise called clock movements in the sell that they relocate the hands, through a collection of gears, right into appropriate position (about the characters or signs published on the dial). Here we reveal not just the information of exactly how these mechanisms function however also their quirks as well as refined traits. Historic clock electric motors did not run electronically but mechanically. A coiled springtime or heavy weight applied torque to a flywheel, which progressively revolved a shaft with hands connected to the various other end. A pendulum and escapement operated in tandem to ensure each tick was exactly one second in duration. Today's electric motors achieve the very same impact but do so by subdividing a consistent stream of pulses discharged by the quartz crystal. The pulses are counted making use of an electronic register, and each time the suitable limit is surpassed creates the taped number of seconds to increment. Likewise, register counts with sixty-fold periods increment the minutes and also hours. This way, software has actually superseded intricate gizmos of equipments in sophisticated ratios as the distinctive engine of the clock motor. This manages a pushing of the envelope in terms of design as well as programming. It has allowed the tracking as well as display of ever before more appealing functional combinations. The most prevalent timekeeping feature is that which shows a 12-hour clock cycle. Two or 3 hands (depending on the lack or visibility of a second hand) spin among the dozen numbers revealed. The 24-hour motion (a small foible) drops by default with electronic clocks; analog variations are readily available however much less common, as twice as many figures need to be pressed along the dial periphery.

Clock Movements
Our Auto Set movement is an example of this type of innovative approach. This movement has eliminated the need for
atomic movements. One reason high torque atomic motors were used in projects was because they automatically adjusted
for the spring and fall time changes.
The problem with the atomic movements was the reliability of their receiver module to receive the spring and fall time
changes and, thereby, make the proper time adjustment. Atomic movements’ receiver module and the AM signal broadcast
has always been troublesome. Our auto set motor solved this problem.
This motor allows our customers to build clocks that can be placed anywhere without the need for the movement to receive
a time broadcast to display accurate time. The Auto Set motor has the daylight saving time changes programmed into the
motor so it occurs automatically. There is no need to receive a radio broadcast. We offer an extensive line of clock
movements.
