UTS High Torque Clock Movement Mechanism Motor Quartz German Plastic Shaft IEC R6+ Battery Green Setting Wheel Replacement For Large Hands (19mm Shaft - For Faces 8-12mm Thick)

• UTS high-torque movements are available in 3 different shaft lengths. Measurements shown are taken from the flat black surface of the movement to the tip of the white Shaft.
• High torque movements are more powerful than a standard movement and are needed to drive larger hands sized 140mm and above. High-torque movements are suitable for outdoor use.
• The movement has a plastic shaft hand fitting. Hour Pipe: 5.0mm Minute pipe: 3.5mm. The hour and minute hands are press fit, and the movement will also take a second hand.
• Movement dimensions – 57mm x 57mm x 17mm (excluding the shaft length). Hands are NOT INCLUDED. Clock fittings are included.
• Movements are ROHS approved and take 1x AA battery (not included).

A high-torque clock movement is designed to have enough power to accurately drive larger, heavier clock hands. These movements are essential for clocks with minute hands that are significantly longer than standard, or for clocks with unusually large or heavy hands, according to Clockworks. Here's a more detailed explanation: What it means: A high-torque movement has a stronger motor and gear train than a standard movement, allowing it to overcome the resistance of larger or heavier hands. Why it's needed: Standard clock movements are designed for typical hand sizes and weights. If the hands are significantly longer or heavier, a standard movement may not have enough power to move them smoothly and accurately. How it works: High-torque movements typically use a larger motor or a stronger gear train to provide more torque, the rotational force needed to move the hands. Examples: High-torque movements are often used in large wall clocks, clocks with decorative hands, or clocks designed for specific purposes like 24-hour displays or pace clocks. Distinction from low-torque: Low-torque movements are designed for smaller hands and are more power-efficient, but may not be able to drive larger hands effectively. Impact on battery life: High-torque movements generally require more power, which can lead to a slightly shorter battery life compared to low-torque movements.
