Why is my clock ticking but not moving?
Make sure the battery is new and facing the right direction. Make sure the clock hands are properly seated on the clock shaft and not catching on each other. If the pendulum is not swinging, be sure the pendulum is hung from front to back and that the clock is flush to the wall. Problem: The hands aren’t moving!
Why does the pendulum stop swinging?
The reason a clock pendulum often stops swinging, after being moved, is because the clock case now leans at a slightly different angle then it did at its former location. A clock is “in beat” when the tick and the tock are evenly spaced.
Can you Overwind a regulator clock?
Luckily, the truth is that you can’t over-wind your clock. A clock mainspring is made of spring steel and is about the width of a ruler (but not quite as thick). They are on average 7 to 8 feet long! One end of the mainspring hooks on a winding arbor (the thing your key goes onto when you wind it).
Why does a pendulum eventually slow down and stop swinging?
When the swing is raised and released, it will move freely back and forth due to the force of gravity on it. The swing continues moving back and forth without any extra outside help until friction (between the air and the swing and between the chains and the attachment points) slows it down and eventually stops it.
