Motion work of a clock, showing (f) center wheel, (x,b) cannon pinion, (x') minute wheel, (y,c) hour wheel, (t) hour hand, (m) minute hand. The motion work is the small 12-to-1 reduction gear train that turns the timepiece's hour hand from the minute hand.

2014年5月13日 · Over the years I have tried to understand the complexity of gear trains, but I am despirate to now make my own clock from my own plans and so gear trains are something I will need to have crystal clear in my mind.

2000年4月1日 · Weight gear train - A high-ratio gear train gears the weight drum way up so that you don't have to rewind the clock very often. Escapement - Made up of the pendulum, the anchor and the escapement gear, the escapement precisely regulates the speed at which the weight's energy is released.

2018年9月5日 · A few major design parameters that most clocks follow includes 1) most wheel to pinion ratios are about 8:1 with cycloidal tooth profiles 2) the sweet spot for a clock gear train is 4 arbors, more arbors cause more friction, less arbors may require going outside the 8:1 recommended gear ratios 3) many escape wheels have 30 teeth 4) generally ...

The gear train is essential in mechanical clocks, transferring energy from the mainspring to the escapement. As the mainspring unwinds, it releases energy that passes through a series of gears, each with specific ratios.

2024年5月17日 · The gear train transmits the energy from the power source to the escapement and hands of the clock. Each gear in the train plays a critical role in dividing the energy and controlling the speed at which it is transmitted.

clock gear drive train - all the design criteria and calculations. This is the second iteration of the drivetrain assembly with a functional working printable layout. This is a work in progress and a module for the whole clock design project focusing on the gear train.

2011年3月20日 · Gear trains form the functional backbone of all mechanical clocks. They allow for gearing ratios unattainable with a single pair of meshing gears. Instead of merely viewing the gear train of Figure 7c, you can drag any one of the gears in the figure to control the speed yourself.

In this post, I figure out which gears are part of the Going (time) Train (gear set), and as a bonus I calculate the length of pendulum this clock requires.

The Escapement is the end of the clock’s gear train, and perhaps most important component of the train. The job of the escapement is to precisely control the speed at which the train turns, thus allowing the train to keep accurate time.
