Derivation of the Kinematic Properties of the Pin Pallet Runaway Escapement

Abstract

The operation of the pin pallet runaway escapement has been characterized in terms of several kinematic properties, i.e., velocity ratio, torque transfer ratio, and efficiency. A computer program has been written which analyzes both the entrance and exit phases of the engagement cycle. The influence of changes in the operating center distance has also been investigated by appropriate computer runs. As a result of this study, an analytic tool for the evaluation of the performance of proposed pin pallet escapement designs or for the modification of existing mechanisms is now available.
