Intermatic WG1570 time clock motor is used as a replacement part in T100, T170, T180, T100R201, T100R301, WH30 and WH40 Series timers. It provides a high torque output for automating scheduled operations, enhancing energy efficiency and synchronising actions in various applications that require precise timekeeping and control. This clock motor is widely used in industrial and commercial building environments for operating time clocks that control electrical devices, lighting systems, pumps and other equipment.
Working Mechanism:
- On powering the motor, its output shaft connects to the clock's hands.
- The motor's rotation moves the clock hands synchronously and shows the passage of time.
- The motor's switching mechanism, with a cam wheel with lobes, controls connected devices' activation and deactivation.
- The lobes engage electrical contacts as the cam wheel aligns with the motor's rotation.
- This opening and closing of contacts determine the connected loads state.
- Devices like illumination systems or pumps are managed according to a preset schedule using the motor's control.
