Cheers Mates!

This time Im working on a Baumgartner 582, Buler Aeromaster.

Watch did not work because the impulse stone or finger was on the opposite side of the pallet fork, and when feeling the collar on the spring. It was very very lose. It almost fell of...

My question is:

Can this collar be pressed smaller?  Or if I do that, can I be sure the balance staff is not ground down to much?

Is this usual practice for an watch maker ?  Or is it better to get en replacement  ? (spring and balance wheel)

 

Again, again  thanks for all help,  ....    :-)

 

Best Regards

 

Armand

How do you know this HS resonates the wheel to the accurate beat.

If the collar fits nice and firm on the staff with just a press of the collar's gap, you may  want to gives it a try.

I have seen collar glued on the staff seventy years ago. Runs too.

If you got suitable tools , the collar can be replaced.

You may find and buy at reasonable price ,such obsolete HS or balance complete off of the owner, through watchparts.org of UK.

If a learner, I would glue the collar on,to read the results on your machine. If acceptable or slow, I will continue to consider shortening HS, collar replace.    And so on.

The Aeromaster is a cool Watch I have one of those too stored in the corner of my dark abyss.
The HS looks like the original one so I can't see why that would not resonate correctly.
But sometimes when serviced one use the HS collet slot to adjust the impulse stone to the correct position. When doing this one might widen the slot or gap a little bit and the end result is what you seen in your Watch, the impulse pin moves to a erratic position.
Gently tightening the collar will solve this problem but be carefull when doing this so you don't mess up the HS.
Gluing  anything into Place in a watch is not anything I recommend to do. In this case you might want to adjust the collar position a bit and that will be impossible if glued into place.

Oh no  removability with ease and reducing risk of damagd, is a good part of the idea with glue.

I use a type of glue that will disolve in solutions friendly to HS. That way the risk of physical damage to HS is reduced. 

If Arko can " tighten the collar ... But be careful   not to mess up the HS"    Lets all listen to his watch ticking.

Regards

And the story in going further on....  I need an new escapement wheel to this same watch, when CouseinsUK say

Balance Roller, Pin Lever, Ordinary (799), BFG 582

Is that the same as escapement wheel???

      Is this a 'hack' ?

      By nevenbekriev · Posted

      OK, welcome in the world of alarm clocks... I guess the 4th wheel is dished because it is from another movement. If it was not dishet, then it would not mesh with the pinion of the escape wheel, am I right? The marks of wear on the 4th wheel pinion doesn't corespond to the 3th wheel table position, at list this is what i see on the picts. Calculating the rate is easy - there is a formula - BR = T2 x T3 x T4 x T5 x 2 /(P3 x P4 x P5) where T2 - T5 are the counts of the teeth of the wheels tables, and P3 - P5 are the counts of the pinion leaves. Vibrating the balance is easy - grasp for the hairspring where it should stay in the regulator with tweasers, let the balance hang on the hairspring while the downside staff tip rests on glass surface. Then make the balance oscillate and use timer to measure the time for let say 50 oscillations, or count the oscillations for let say 30 seconds. You must do the free oscillations test to check the balance staff tips and the cone cup bearings for wear. This kind of staffs wear and need resharpening to restore the normal function of the balance.

      Any tips to correct a sloppy error?

      Glue a nut to the barrel lid, insert a bolt, pull, disolve the glue.  Maybe someone will have a better answer.

      Setting lever spring

      By mikepilk · Posted

      The stress is the force (on the spring) x distance. The maximum stress is at the bottom, and decreases up the arm. That's why they always break at the bottom. I used a round file, then something like 2000 grit to finish. I gave the rest of the arm a quick polish - no need for a perfect finish. Just make sure there are no 'notches' left from cutting/filing. The notches act like the perforations in your toilet paper 🤣

      It's probably a cardinal rule for watch repair to never get distracted while at the bench. Yesterday, after finishing a tricky mainspring winding/barrel insertion (I didn't have a winder and arbor that fit very well) I mentally shifted down a gear once that hurdle was passed. There were other things going on in the room as I put the barrel and cover into the barrel closer and pressed to get that satisfying snap. But when I took it out I realized I never placed the arbor.  When opening a barrel, we are relying on the arbor to transfer a concentrically-distributed force right where it is needed at the internal center of the lid. However, when that isn't present it's difficult to apply pressure or get leverage considering the recessed position of the lid, the small holes in the barrel and the presence of the mainspring coils. It was a beat-up practice movement so I didn't take a lot of time to think it over and I pushed it out using a short right-angle dental probe placed in from the bottom, but that did leave a bit of a scratch and crease in the thin lid. I had also thought about pulling it using a course-threaded screw with a minor thread diameter smaller than the lid hole and a major diameter larger, but that may have done some damage as well.  Thinking about how this might have been handled had it been a more valuable movement, is there a method using watchmaking or other tools that should extract the lid with the least damage?

      Epilame / Fixodrop

      By Neverenoughwatches · Posted

      🤔 what happens if lubrication is placed directly on top of epilame ? Making a small groove so the lubrication doesn't spread across the component but what if when lubing a little overspills and sits on the epilame .
