http://www.clockparts.com/usa-made-motors-movements/ Weather condition Clock Movements that Go down Jaws Clock movements are the core processors within timepieces that calculate minute by moment where all the hands need to be directing. Clockmakers begin with clock activities (additionally called clock motors) when they are exercising their preliminary layout, as every little thing else basically hinges upon them. Over the centuries these little mechanical computers have developed into innovative devices capable of some really jaw-dropping things. A lot of clock activities report temporal info at varying degrees of information and according to cycles of various lengths. The cycle could be 12 hours, 1 Day, a week, or a month. The level of detail may be the min, the second, and even something finer. However the exact same system can be adapted as well as customized somewhat to report weather condition info. In some cases, (e.g., trend degree) a cycle is included, whereas in various other cases there is just a straight connection in between the output of a sensing unit (temperature level, humidity) and the placement on a dial. Whatever kind of info is reported; it had much better be fairly precise. If the timing or calibration is not rather near to the given criterion, individuals will soon find out that the info is unstable and quit trusting it. Naturally, unless the clock system remains in sync with an atomic standard of some kind, some built up error is unavoidable, yet there is an almost global assumption that a readjustment of more than a few secs on a monthly basis or two should not be needed. Over the millennia man has come to be quite familiar with the rhythms inherent in the day-to-day daybreak, the stages of the moon, his organic features, as well as the periods. Maintaining precise track of all these points is also crucial to him and also has actually been for virtually as lengthy. The activity has to maintain irrespective of what is being tracked, whether related to time or tide. The old approaches used by clocks for accurately tracking time advanced throughout years. A coiled springtime or hanging weight applied rotational force or a gear or flywheel. An escapement mechanism attached to a swinging pendulum resisted outright self-contained and controlled the rotational rate.

No one has a better selection of American made quartz movements (MVT) than clockparts.com, no
one. The reason is simple, for over 40 years we have been the exclusive US distributor for Takane
MVT. Takane has located their California factory about half an hour from ours, and the owners of both companies are now
in the second generations of a long-term family relationship.
Takane Movement
We actually stock 9 different categories of Takane American Made Quartz Movements. Not 9 different MVT-nine different
categories. That works out to actually stocking 23 different models of American made movements. We are very proud of

2. this rare accomplishment.
American Made Mini Quartz
Our American Made Mini Quartz Motors are really the backbone of the industry. They are widely used here in the US, and we
even export them to manufacturers in other countries as well. We stock these MVT in 6 different shaft lengths. We also
stock 3 different versions of the American made mini quartz MVT with a clear case. That way you can actually see the gears
moving inside the case. This is a popular item with manufacturers of clear acrylic and glass clocks.
The high torque MVT group is our fastest growing MVT category. We stock two different AA battery models and 2 C cell
models. These American made high torque Motors are the most powerful in the industry, and will operate hands nearly 18
inches long! We even have a high torque C cell powered pendulum movement that will operate hands nearly 18 inches
long.
Weather Movements
American Made Tide Motors is another category. We stock these tide MVT in two different shaft lengths. These MVT keep
time based on the length of a lunar day, which is 24 hours and 50 minutes. So, the tide indicator hand will do one
revolution every 24 hours and 50 minutes.
Our American made AA powered mini quartz pendulum is another major group of quartz MVT that has also become an
industry standard. We stock these popular MVT in 4 different shaft lengths, so they can be used with materials up to just
over ¾ of an inch thick. They work quite well with pendulums up to 16 inches long and clock hands under 6 inches long.
We offer three different pendulum “bob” sizes for our 16 inch adjustable pendulums (bobs are the round disc at the bottom
of a pendulum).
We also have “dual” American made pendulum MVT. They will actually operate two pendulums, one in the normal position
below the MVT and one on top of the movement. It’s very important that the bottom pendulum be slightly heavier than the
top pendulum. These MVT are great for novelty clocks and we stock them in 2 different shaft lengths.
The American made “press-on” movement is a very popular replacement MVT. It does not have a threaded shaft and the
overall shaft length is just `1/4 of an inch. It comes with a choice of 2 sets of hands both just under 1-1/2 inches. The
"short shaft press-on" MVT is normally installed into cases that already have plastic MVT clips to hold the MVT into the case.
They can also be installed equally well by using a thin double faced tape. Shaft diameter is 3/16" and the shaft length is
1/4”. The absolute thickest dial material than this MVT will work with is 3/32” thick.
