Introduction
Kieninger is the oldest existing manufacturer of mechanical movements for floor, wall and mantel clocks in the world. Kieninger movements
excel with a high level of design and manufacturing quality. Numerous innovations and patents (Kieniramic7 solid anchor, 16-rod chimes;
second indication for pendulum lengths under 116 cm; automatic beat adjustment, nighttime shut-off systems for 1/2-hour and 1/4-hour
movements; automatic chime sequencing; various manufacturing processes and components) are the measure for design quality.
Manufacturing quality shows in every movement: All movement plates are made of a special brass alloy which is hard and has a tensile
strength [Rm] of 520 N/mm2. The holes for the journals are reamed and smoothened after lacquering and then receive an oil sink. Pinions are
made of high-quality steel. Fast turning pinions are hardened. All journals are roller burnished in a special process. Some movements feature
bronze-bushings and/or jewels in critical positions. The gears are made of a very tough and hard brass alloy with a tensile strength of 610
N/mm2. A high level of corrosion protection for all components is assured. Brass components are pickled and receive a coat of clear lacquer.
Steel components are made from stainless steel or receive a galvanic nickel coating. Each movement has a laser engraved serial number.
In the following material you will find an overview of the movement series structure and detailed information for each of the Kieninger movement
groups. In addition, selected pendulums, weights, weight shells, weight fillings and dials as well as mounting and other accessories are listed.
