Suspension Springs
NOTE: Suspensions do not have to be exact in lengh, if the clock runs slow then raise the pendulum bob with the screw.

This is for the pendulum bob only for a wood stick pendulum. Measurement is from one side to the other.
These top hooks are all for a wood stick style pendulum except the letter "I" and "J" units. For the most part you would have the wood stick in either 1/2 inch or 1 inch width and put this top hook on it by bending the tabs over as a friction fit. Then the pendulum is all set to be able to hook to the leader. Note: The pendulum assembley consists of the suspension spring on the top, then comes the leader, then comes the pendulum with its top hook attached.
To get the length of the leader on a German movement, get the CM number off the back plate of the movement. This measurement is the approximate length from the top of the movement to the bottom of the pendulum. So if you measure the pendulum tip to tip in inches and then add an inch for the suspension spring, the multiply times 2.54 it will give you the CM length of all but the leader. The remaining length from this measurement and the CM length from the back plate, will be the approximate leader length.

We offer the above bobs with various patterns. These are for mantle movements with the F-S regulator that you can adjust the timing.
Item # PD10
$9
This pendulum bob is threaded on the bottom with a rating nut for easy timing of the clock. This can be used on mantle clocks as well as certain wall clocks such as a banjo. Measurement is the diameter of the bob.
Item # PD5
$13
Gold tone brass pendulum with leaf decorations on the top of the pendulum bob. This pendulum measures seven inches in length and has a 2 1/2 inch diameter bob that weighs 3.5 ounces. Used with some modern wall clocks and 31 day clocks.

Item #PD30
This is for a wood stick pendulum. This would screw into the bottom of the wood stick and then the round bob would slide onto it with the nut on the bottom.
Item #PD41
This is the most common penulum rating nut for wood stick pendulums that fit modern German made movements.
Item #CP49
Pendulum nut assortment of 6 for floor clocks and wall clocks. Turning the nut so to raise the bob will speed up the clocks time, lowering the bob will slow the clocks time.
Item #PD42
This pendulum can be used for many clocks. The rating nut can be removed completely if needed and it can just be adjusted shorter with the set screw on the back. Just cut the rod shorter to what is needed. This comes 7 inch and the bob is 2oz.
