Clock Motors

 Maximizing Functionality of Clock Motors Clock electric motors control the timekeeping and other functional habits of timepieces. In today's world, clock motors (or "movements" in the trade) are digitally powered, and a quartz crystal is the timing resource, vibrating at a high frequency and producing a train of pulses, their count proportional for elapsed time. Therefore, we have a modern-day way of maintaining time, indistinguishable in look from the older mechanical clocks; nonetheless, the modern movement runs mainly in software program, allowing for added functions, some exotic and unusual, to be executed relatively quickly, particularly when contrasted to their mechanical cousins. Conventional clock motor were mechanically developed and built, the only viable approach. A coiled springtime or hanging weight provided potential energy, which consequently was exchanged kinetic energy by creating a flywheel to rotate. Pendulums and escapements regulated the frequency o...
