German Euroshaft Pendulum Step Clock Movement (26mm Shaft)

German Euroshaft Pendulum Quartz Clock Movement With Fittings

This German Euroshaft pendulum quartz clock movement features a stepping (ticking) movement with all necessary fittings to assemble. Please read all of the information in the description below carefully to ensure the movement will be an appropriate fit prior to purchasing.

The movement has a total shaft length of 26mm and is compatible with pendulum clocks that have a dial thickness between 14-18mm.

Please Note: Hands are NOT included with this movement by default, however we do have compatible hands which are available to purchase seperately HERE. This movement can take minute hands up to 160mm in length which weigh up to 8 grams; along with a seconds hand up to 90mm in length and weighing up to 0.6 grams. It can also take a pendulum with a length up to 500mm, with a maximum weight of 80 grams. If your hands are larger than 160mm in length, you will need to purchase a different high torque movement- available to purchase HERE.

Important note: We cannot guarantee compatibility between your existing hands and our movements. To avoid any issues, be sure to gather accurate hand hole measurements, and verify that they match the exact specifications outlined in this description. Please read the entire description thoroughly to ensure all measurements will work with this movement.

 

What Is The Difference Between Euroshaft Movements? (Standard, Takane & German-Fit)

The main difference between a standard Euroshaft movement (which also includes Takane Euroshaft movements) and German made movements (such as UTS and JUNGHANS), are the dimensions of the minute shaft, which correlate to slightly different hand hole (collet) dimensions in the minute hand. In German-made Euroshaft movements, the minute hand dimensions are slightly smaller (3.5mm x 2.8mm), as opposed to a standard or Takane Euroshaft movement (4mm x 3mm). The hour hand dimensions are the same across the different Euroshaft movement types that we supply. 

In addition, a German Euroshaft movement uses a collar to secure the movement to a clock (which requires a slightly larger dial hole and thickness), whilst a standard Euroshaft movement instead uses a hex nut and a brass thread. For these reasons, it is important to measure your existing hand hole dimensions and the dial thickness prior to purchasing, to ensure the movement will be a suitable replacement. There are instructions on how to obtain this information further below in the description.

Supplied With:

1 x German made quartz pendulum movement (26mm shaft length, suits clocks with a dial thickness 14-18mm)

Euroshaft fit (Hour hand pushes on, minute hand fits onto a slotted rectangular shaft and is held on by a small nut)

Stepping movement (ticking)

Movement measures 108 x 56 x 27mm (not including shaft length)

1 x Pack of fittings (rubber washer, collar, open minute hand nut & closed minute hand nut) (colour of fittings may vary from images)

Requires 1 x AA Alkaline battery (or LR6 Alkaline), not included

Pendulum not included- view compatible pendulum types HERE

We recommend changing your movement battery once a year using a high quality alkaline battery, such as Duracell or Panasonic.

Hand Hole Dimensions (Collet)

• Minute: 3.5 x 2.8mm
• Hour: Ø5.0mm

 

This movement may come stamped as ‘UTS’, ‘HERMLE’, ‘AMS’ or ‘JUNGHANS’ - they are all identical movements made in Germany.

 

The Importance Of Getting Correct Measurements

In order to find a correct replacement, you will first need to gather a few measurements and information from your current movement. A model number alone does not provide enough information to replace a movement- you will also need to determine the following:

1. Type of movement/hands you are replacing (press fit, euro shaft or high torque)

Your current minute hand will be able to easily indicate what type of movement you have. Simply examine the hole in your minute hand. 

• If it is round or has a hexagonal looking eyelet, and if the hand pushes onto the shaft then your movement is a press fit movement
• If the hole has two straight sides and a rounded top and bottom, then your movement is a euro shaft movement
• If your minute hand is over 160mm in length then we strongly recommend that you use a high torque movement

Please note, your minute hand hole should be visible. If there is anything protruding from your original minute hand then you may have removed the minute shaft with the hand by accident. To separate this shaft from the minute hand you will need to unscrew the hand nut on the front of the hand.

 

 2. Hand Hole Dimensions (Shaft Diameter Of Hands)

As the shaft diameter for all hands varies significantly, your original hands may not be compatible with the replacement movement that you select. It is important that you measure the hand hole dimensions to confirm whether it is a match. If not, you can order replacement hands that will be compatible with your replacement movement. In addition, the total length of the hands are measured from the centre of the hole to the tip, not from end to end.

3. Total Shaft Length Of Your Current Movement

Measure the total shaft length of your old movement by measuring from the face of the movement to the very end of the shaft. This measurement is the entire shaft length when the movement has been removed from the clock. It is important to get accurate measurements especially if your clock has a lens. We also recommend measuring your dial thickness to ensure the replacement movement will be a suitable fit.
