## Description

QuartexQ-80 Quartz Clock Movement, 1/16" Max Dial Thickness, 7/16" Hand Shaft Length with Hands

## Features

- Quartz Clock Movement Kit: This clock mechanism is perfect with its clock parts for repairing, replacing, or making your own DIY clock project. The clock movement design keeps foreign matter out of the gears, resulting in years of trouble-free operation.
- Clock Movement Measurements: Total hand shaft length is 11.1 mm (7/16 inch). Total shaft diameter is 7.9 mm (5/16 inch).
- Maximum Clock Dial Thickness: 1.6 mm (1/16 inch). Refers to the thickness of the combined material (clock face material and support board the dial is mounted to) that the threaded length of the movement shaft travels through. The hardware adds 1.6 mm (1/16 inch) making the total length of the threaded bushing 3.2 mm (1/8 inch). For finding a replacement, measure the threaded portion of the shaft on your old clock movement. If the length is shorter or equal to 3.2 mm (1/8 inch), this is suitable.
- Clock Hands Measurements: Total black spade hour and minute hand length is approx. 63.5 mm (2 1/2 inch), total red second hand length is approx. 69.9 mm (2 3/4 inch). The Q-80 movement will have a step motion that creates a ticking sound, powered by an AA battery.
- Package Contents Include: One easy to assemble quartz clock movement, one hour hand, one minute hand, one second hand, and hand mounting hardware.
- Built-In Hanger Holds up to 4lbs: Conveniently place on any wall after your project is complete.
- Warranty: This quartz clock movement comes with a one-year limited warranty.
- Company Based in Lake Geneva, WI, USA - Since 1973.

    This clockwork saved an expensive clock

It installed as directed and saved a favorite clock.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Keeps time accurately enough for me, and is more robust than expected!
  

*by H***E on Reviewed in the United States on March 15, 2019*

I had a lightning bolt of inspiration one day to build my own clock, and after many ideas, settled on the idea of a clock that has numbers and hands that glow in the dark.  Since I'm a sucker for putting LEDs on as many projects as I can, you can see that I designed it to house four LEDs (and I should have use a resistor on them, so they wouldn't be so dang bright!).This clock movement was highly rated on a Amazon search so I bought it to use for this project.  After receiving I learned it was manufactured by Klockit, who seems renowned on quality clocks and components from what I've read.So I opened the package up, took the needed measurements and got to designing then printing the remaining clock parts.  This movement does come with some commonly used hands, but again, I wanted some that glowed in the dark, so I designed and printed my own.Here's where my remark in the headline "More robust than expected!" comes in.  I had trouble printing an hours hand and seconds hand that fit on this movement properly.  The hour hand is held in place on the movement by friction alone, and my first two hour hands wound up slipping and popping loose as the movement kept time.  The included seconds hand is stuck fast to a pin that's pressed into the movement.  I had to carefully cut the base of the seconds hand to remove it from the pin, but my 3D printed seconds hand wouldn't stay pressed to the pin when I pushed the pin into the movement.  I wound up supergluing the hand to the pin.What this all translates to is I assembled and disassembled this movement a handful of times (pun intended), and sometimes I had to use a fair amount of force.  I'm happy to say that not only did nothing break on the movement, but it's still accurately keeping time!Despite my clock's imperfections, more pointedly the overly bright LEDs, I'm very proud of my effort and am grateful that this movement held up to my noob mistakes!  I'm feeling sorely tempted to buy a few more of these, seeing as I have several other ideas for clock designs![A note on my photos:  I apologize in advance if the photo showing the clock's LED lighting is painful to any viewers' eyes, and although you can see the numbers and hands glow in the dark in person, the filament used to print them hasn't been fully light-charged yet, so the numbers and hands aren't glowing at fully capacity.  The photo I took of the clock's face in the dark poorly demonstrates the glow of the hands and numbers.]

### ⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Runs for several hours, then stops
  

*by K***N on Reviewed in the United States on November 12, 2022*

Quits running after several hours.  Will restart when bumped, but quits again later. Changing out the battery gives the same result.  Simply unreliable, waste of money AND time!
