After getting my new spring installed i now know how to set the beat to keep it from stopping in the future.
Pendulum wall clock keeps stopping.
The reason a clock pendulum often stops swinging after being moved is because the clock case now leans at a slightly different angle then it did at its former location.
I have a regulator wall clock that was operating fine until just recently.
After tinkering with i broke my suspension spring which i am now replacing.
If you ve recently moved your clock you should check the foundation for levelness.
The pendulum will stop eventually.
Pendulum clocks stop for a variety of reasons but can usually be restarted.
Pendulum over swing if the bob on the pendulum hasn t first been immobilized or removed from the pendulum arm before the clock is moved the pendulum can over swing go past its normal arc and throw the clock out of beat then eventually the clock will stop.
All clocks are meant to be level and in beat from side to side but not all clocks are meant to be perfectly level from front to back.
This explanation however intuitive turns out to be wrong.
Pendulum arm about 20 long.
It depends on the clock.
A clock that leans to the left or right at the slightest angle will throw your pendulum into pandemonium or stop it in its daily tracks for tracking good time.
Ot why does my pendulum wall clock keep stopping.
Classical explanation the classical explanation offered by aristotle as to why a pendulum in motion will eventually stop was simply because all objects stop eventually if no force is applied to keep it moving.
This is an excellent tutorial on correcting the issue of the pendulum stopping.
Before fitting the pendulum decide where to display it.
My clock keeps stopping.
Carriage clocks are like mechanical watches in that they have a balance wheel platform escapement and so will run in any position even lying on the back seat of a car they were designed for travelling so they can tolerate movement.
The point is to keep the pendulum totally free from obstructions because it uses its own weight and momentum to help keep the clock running.
Simply start your pendulum swinging then listen carefully to the tick tock sound.
Don t worry about making your clock absolutely level with the floor and don t use a level.
When a clock pendulum swings to and fro you can truly watch time fly.
If you have a clock that runs then stops within a short period of time this vide.
If your clock keeps stopping it could be the space it rests on.
Any clock with a balance wheel is easily identifiable as unlike the rest below they have.
Clock was working fine took it off wall and removed pendulum to paint the wall.
Ok have a wall clock two weights on chains one for running clock and one for chime.
