Abstract (en)

[origin: JP2017106901A] PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a magnetic cylinder escapement that reduces sensitivity to external magnetic fields.SOLUTION: A magnetic cylinder escapement comprises a regulating wheel set 5 and an escape wheel 3 comprising actuators 6 at the periphery of a first disc. The actuators 6 each comprises a first impulse part 61 and a second stop part 62, generating or guiding magnetic fields parallel to the pivot axes, and arranged to work in attraction, via the first disc 30, with a second non-magnetically charged, soft ferromagnetic disc 7 integral with the regulating wheel set 5. The mechanism comprises a conductive ferromagnetic plate 8, underneath the first disc 30 but not in contact with the first disc 30, comprising a cutout 80 surrounding, in a contactless manner, the periphery 70 of the second disc 7, with a variable air-gap E; the plate 8 closing a magnetic circuit comprising an actuator 6, the first disc 30, the second disc 7, and a structure in which the escape wheel 3 pivots and which carries the plate 8.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 6
