Private buildings, schools, churches, mosques, universities, memorials,
etc. There are two types of tower clocks - Mechanical and Electrically
operated.
Mechanical Tower Clocks are driven by weights suspended by wire ropes and pulleys and time is regulated by long pendulum .
The movements are capable of operating 3 feet dial to 8 feet dial, single, double, three or four faced dials.
The movement parts are made with best steel, gun metal, bronze
materials, steel wire rope, solid steel pinion and cast iron gears are
used to withstand outdoor climatic condition, wear and tear, etc.
Electrically operated Tower Clocks
system comprises a Heavy Duty Stepper Motor Driven Central SLAVE
MECHANISM connected by Bevel Gear Box to 4 sets of Dial Trains (
attached to the back of the dials) through connecting rods - suitable
for Non-Striking Tower Clock.
It works on regular impulse signals from Quartz Electronic impulse generator.
Dials can be illuminated from inside with translucent dial made of
thick imported acrylic sheet. Opaque dials can be provided which can be
illuminated from external sources. A wide range of dials can be
provided to suit individual architectural features. Striking
