How to Fit Large Clock Hands Large clock hands are those that are longer than around seven inches (speaking of the minute hand, not the hr hand). The reason big clock hands are so marked is that lengths higher than that cutoff length consider way too much for a common electric motor to rotate. Simply put, the common torque is insufficient, requiring the designer of the watch to order a high-torque activity rather. Huge clock hands are in theory endless in length, yet practically speaking you will not see any longer than eighteen inches, meaning that the corresponding clock would certainly be at the very least a yard in size. Even after that, the likeliest application for such a watch would be something placed directly to the wall surface (utilizing the wall surface as the dial, in a manner of speaking) without being confined in a situation. Suppliers need to tune to the sweet place out there, as well as for clocks that means sizes ranging from a few inches to about ten to twelve inches. For this reason, clock motions (or motors) are supplied with just adequate power to revolve any type of and all hands falling in this variety. This enables the producer to make simply two versions of each activity, one with conventional torque and also one with high torque.
