Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What type of clocks is this quartz pendulum movement motor compatible with?

A: This replacement quartz clock pendulum movement motor is designed for swing-style clocks with a movement shaft of 12mm (thread 5mm). It is ideal for novelty wall clocks and DIY clock-making projects where a decorative pendulum swing is desired alongside accurate quartz timekeeping.

Q: Does the swinging pendulum affect the clock's timekeeping accuracy?

A: No — the pendulum on this unit is purely decorative and swings independently of the quartz movement. The quartz motor keeps accurate time on its own, so the pendulum's swing does not impact the clock's precision.

Q: What battery does this clock movement motor require?

A: This quartz pendulum movement mechanism is powered by a single AA battery, which is not included in the package. Simply insert a fresh AA battery to get started with your DIY clock repair or build project.
