Information

 

Escapement Wheel

 

Description

The escapement wheel serves two purposes. First, it locks the clock hand and gears in place while the escapement fork is in contact with the clock, and second, it pushes back on the fork when it discharges. This provides enough energy for the pendulum to compensate for the energy lost due to friction during the swing.

Used in Examples (2)

ClockWithOneHand

IndustryExamples.ConsumerProducts.PendulumClock

Main pendulum clock example. Clock has one hand that takes one step each second. The movement is controlled by a counterweight.

ClockWithTwoHands

IndustryExamples.ConsumerProducts.PendulumClock

Expanded pendulum clock setup with two hands, the relative motion of the hands are controlled by gear ratios.
