DESCRIPTION

• Also suitable as replacement parts for other clocks
• Include mechanism box, hanger, rubber washer, brass washer, hex nut, and hands
• Reverse side of the aluminium hands in silver colour
• Second hand with press-fit cap to secure all hands to the movement
• Supplied disassembled. Easy installation, no tools required
• Batteries not included with the mechanisms. Purchase them in Related Products

THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND

• The hands of mechanisms Ref. 042226 and Ref. 042228 have special shapes. In the rest of the mechanisms, the hands are straight
• The mechanism with gear-shaped hands does not include a second hand (Ref. 042228)
• The rear thread of mechanisms with integrated hanger may be black or red
• The hanger of the mechanisms is attached to the box, except for Ref. 042226
• To prevent the spindle of the mechanism from protruding at the front of the panel, we suggest adding extra washers to the spindle before installing it in the panel (see Related Products)

HOW TO CHOOSE THE RIGHT MECHANISM WITH HANDS?

• Calculate the maximum DIAMETER of the circle that fits your clock panel (for round panels this is straightforward, but for other shapes you may need to measure). Ensure that the diameters of the mechanisms are not greater. Choose the tab that suits you best
• The THICKNESS of the panel you are going to use is important; the first number following the "E" indicates the spindle length of the mechanism (in mm). It is recommended that it be at least 1 mm longer than the thickness of the panel
• Take into account the HOLE diameter of the panel, which should be suitable for the spindle diameter, which is the second number following the "E" (also in mm)
• Choose the MATERIAL of the hands to your liking: aluminium, plastic, etc.
• Consider the COLOUR of the hands in relation to the background image you will print on the panel, so that they contrast and are clearly visible

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS OF THE MECHANISMS

The reference name includes the following data:

^(*) The minute hand is measured by the circular path it travels and by its width.

OTHER MECHANISM SIZES

^(**) The length of the hands is measured from the centre of the hole to the tip.
