Explanation, how cylinder escapement works

- Animation of an enlarged model of an cylinder escapement that can be found in old watches, clocks and miniature clock .
This modeling is based on the escapement belonging to the collection of 32 escapements of the Cluses museum.

What a clever piece of microengineering. It looks so much simpler than a lever movement. Thanks for the upload.
This is a very compact escapement capable of good performance. However, it is a frictional rest design, meaning that that for virtually 100% of the time where the balance is not being impulsed, it is not free. The escape tooth is in frictional contact with the balance staff. This also means that lubrication of the escarpment is required. I have a barograph with clockwork having this escapement and it performs well with good amplitude of the balance.
Brilliant video!
What a terrific and informative video. Can you get whoever made this to make the same type of video explaining women?
Very good! I am about to start collecting these old Swiss watches, and was curious how these worked. Now I have to see if anyone has made a jeweled cylinder… or a fully jeweled wheel! Wouldn’t that be fancy?
Brilliant!
Pretty neat video Huh!
How will the balance wheel turn if there is not a fork pushing it both directions? I don't get it
Hi,
During the rotation of the escape wheel, the tooth in contact with the cylinder, during its movement (green arrow) pushes (red arrow) the cylinder (blue arrow).

The cylinder is attached to the balance. The spring of the balance allows to keep the inertia of the movement.
To push the cylinder in the other direction, the same logic is applied when the tooth comes out of the cylinder

I hope this brief explanation makes things clearer?
amazing～ do you make the video for virgule escapement
Not yet ! But we probably are going to do it in the near futur. Stay tune
@@HorlogerdelaCroixRousse thank you
Is this machine perpetual?
No, perpetual movement doesn't exist. This mecanisme take is strengh with a spring, you can see it in this vidéo : ruclips.net/video/eghB74S_Urc/видео.html (not the same escapement, but same gear train !)
