  2. Wheel train - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wheel_train

    It is called the third wheel because the mainspring barrel is the first wheel and the center wheel is the second wheel in the gear train. Fourth wheel which, in clocks and watches with the second hand in a subdial, turns once per minute and the arbor projects through the face and holds the second hand. The fourth wheel also turns the escape ...

  3. Revolutions per minute - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Revolutions_per_minute

    The second hand of a conventional analog clock rotates at 1 rpm. Audio CD players read their discs at a precise, constant rate (4.3218 Mbit/s of raw physical data for 1.4112 Mbit/s (176.4 KB/s) of usable audio data) and thus must vary the disc's rotational speed from 8 Hz (480 rpm) when reading at the innermost edge to 3.5 Hz (210 rpm) at the ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quartz_clock

    As of 2019, an autonomous light-powered high-accuracy quartz watch movement became commercially available which is claimed to be accurate to ± 1 second per year. [ 19 ] [ 20 ] Key elements to obtain the high claimed accuracy are applying an unusually shaped (for a watch) ( AT-cut ) quartz crystal operated at 2 23 or 8 388 608 Hz frequency ...

  5. Movement (clockwork) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Movement_(clockwork)

    Movement (clockwork) In horology, a movement, also known as a caliber or calibre (British English), is the mechanism of a watch or timepiece, as opposed to the case, which encloses and protects the movement, and the face, which displays the time. The term originated with mechanical timepieces, whose clockwork movements are made of many moving ...

  6. Gear - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gear

    Worm-and-gear sets are a simple and compact way to achieve a high torque, low speed gear ratio. For example, helical gears are normally limited to gear ratios of less than 10:1 while worm-and-gear sets vary from 10:1 to 500:1. [45] A disadvantage is the potential for considerable sliding action, leading to low efficiency. [46]

  7. Geneva drive - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geneva_drive

    Geneva drive. Animation showing a six-position external Geneva drive in operation. The Geneva drive or Geneva mechanism is a gear mechanism that translates a continuous rotation movement into intermittent rotary motion. The rotating drive wheel is usually equipped with a pin that reaches into a slot located in the other wheel (driven wheel ...
