![]() ![]() Clock inserts with a diameter of 2" or less have a stainless steel back and metal alloy bezel. Generally speaking, the smaller friction fit clock insert have a more durable construction. Please note, the hand color on these units may vary from black to gold depending on the dial color and insert item number. This is quite disconcerting to some people who grew up with using Roman numerals. The new way to express the number 4 in Roman numerals is no longer IV but rather IIII. For those who do not remember, the Roman numerals are where 12 will be show as XII or Arabic as 12. Colors and StylesĬlockworks provides options for the dial (face) colors and also numeral styles in Arabic or Roman for the friction fit clock insert. Slide a rubber band on the backside of the insert and we are good to go! It ends up being a nice fit with some tolerance in the hole diameter requirement. Sometimes the rings will break or get lost and a simple solution is a rubber band. The insert alone will be too loose of a fit so there is a rubber ring on the back side to fill the gap. In other words, drill a hole into any object and just push the clock insert into it. Many clock motors or mechanisms are made from metal, plastic, iron or wood to keep accurate time for a clock.Friction fit clock inserts fit into an existing hole. The mechanism in comprised of gears and parts inside of a clock movements case. What is a Clock MechanismĬlock mechanism movement or motor maybe known as caliber in terms of horology. The absolute thickest dial material than this MVT will work with is 3/32” thick. Shaft diameter is 3/16" and the shaft length is 1/4”. They can also be installed equally well by using a thin double faced tape. The "short shaft press-on" MVT is normally installed into cases that already have plastic MVT clips to hold the MVT into the case. It comes with a choice of 2 sets of hands both just under 1-1/2 inches. It does not have a threaded shaft and the overall shaft length is just `1/4 of an inch. The American made “press-on” movement is a very popular replacement MVT. These MVT are great for novelty clocks and we stock them in 2 different shaft lengths. It’s very important that the bottom pendulum be slightly heavier than the top pendulum. They will actually operate two pendulums, one in the normal position below the MVT and one on top of the movement. We also have “dual” American made pendulum MVT. We offer three different pendulum “bob” sizes for our 16 inch adjustable pendulums (bobs are the round disc at the bottom of a pendulum). They work quite well with pendulums up to 16 inches long and clock hands under 6 inches long. 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. Our American made AA powered mini quartz pendulum is another major group of quartz MVT that has also become an industry standard. So, the tide indicator hand will do one revolution every 24 hours and 50 minutes. These MVT keep time based on the length of a lunar day, which is 24 hours and 50 minutes. ![]() We stock these tide MVT in two different shaft lengths. Weather MovementsĪmerican Made Tide Motors is another category. 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. We stock two different AA battery models and 2 C cell models. The high torque MVT group is our fastest growing MVT category. This is a popular item with manufacturers of clear acrylic and glass clocks. That way you can actually see the gears moving inside the case. We also stock 3 different versions of the American made mini quartz MVT with a clear case. We stock these MVT in 6 different shaft lengths. They are widely used here in the US, and we even export them to manufacturers in other countries as well. Our American Made Mini Quartz Motors are really the backbone of the industry. We are very proud of this rare accomplishment. That works out to actually stocking 23 different models of American made movements. ![]() Not 9 different MVT-nine different categories. We actually stock 9 different categories of Takane American Made Quartz Movements. 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. The reason is simple, for over 40 years we have been the exclusive US distributor for Takane MVT. No one has a better selection of American made quartz movements (MVT) than, no one. ![]()
