UTS High Torque Clock Movement Mechanism Motor Quartz German Euroshaft IEC R6+ Battery Green Setting Wheel Replacement For Large Hands (20mm Shaft - Faces Up To 12mm Thick)

• UTS high torque movements available in 4 different shaft lengths. Measurements shown are taken from the flat black surface of the movement to the tip of the Gold Shaft.
• High Torque movements are more powerful than a standard movement and are need to drive larger hands sized 140mm and above. High torque movements are suitable for outdoor use.
• The movement has a Euroshaft hand fitting. Hour Pipe: 5.0mm Minute pipe: 3.5mm x 2.8mm. The hour hand is press fit and the minute hand is secured with either a open or closed end nut.
• Movement dimensions - 56mm x 56mm 17mm (excluding the shaft length). Hands are NOT INCLUDED, for compatible hands please see item number B08JKXN8XH which has a style and size option.
• This movement is ROHS approved and takes 1x AA battery (not included). Fully tested before dispatch and carefully packed to make sure your item arrives in perfect condition.

A high-torque clock movement is designed to have a greater ability to move larger and heavier clock hands than standard movements. These movements are crucial for clocks with oversized hands, ensuring they operate smoothly and accurately. Key features and characteristics of high-torque movements: Increased power: High-torque movements are more powerful than low-torque movements, enabling them to drive larger, heavier hands. Stronger gears: They typically feature stronger internal gears that can handle the increased load of larger hands. Extended shafts: Some high-torque movements have extended shafts, providing more space between the hands. Counterbalanced hands: Long hands may require a counterweight on the back end to help balance the movement and ensure proper operation. Battery type: Some high-torque movements may require larger C-cells or AA-cells for increased power. When to use a high-torque movement: Large hands: If your clock uses hands that are significantly longer than standard (typically over 5 inches), a high-torque movement is necessary. Heavier hands: If the hands are particularly heavy or made of materials like metal, a high-torque movement is needed to ensure smooth operation. Clock repair or construction: When repairing or building large wall clocks or clocks with custom hand designs, high-torque movements are often used to ensure proper functionality.
