How To Dismantle a Sangtai 5168 Quartz Clock Movement #quartz # clock

This is the rear casing of a quartz clock movement, the self-contained mechanism that drives the hands of a wall clock.

The specific unit appears to be:

* Manufacturer: Sangtai
* Model: 5168
* Type: Battery-powered quartz movement
* Likely use: Cheap or mid-range wall clocks sold through retailers such as Argos.

Here are the visible parts and what they do:

* Large circular section (bottom left):
This is the battery compartment area, normally holding a single AA battery on the opposite side.
* Arrow marking:
Indicates the direction for opening, locking, or fitting the rear cover or adjustment section.
* Central shaft area (other side):
On the front side of this unit would be the spindle that the clock hands fit onto.
* Quartz marking (“QUA…”):
Indicates it uses a quartz crystal timing circuit for accurate timekeeping.
* “NO(0) JEWELS UNADJUSTED”:
Traditional wording carried over from clock/watch manufacturing.
It means the movement does not use jewel bearings like higher-end watches.
* CE and RoHS symbols:
European conformity and environmental compliance marks.
* Crossed-out bin symbol:
Indicates electrical disposal regulations — not for general waste.
* ARGOS MK9 2NW label:
Likely a stock or distribution label from Argos UK.

Internally, these movements usually contain:

* A quartz crystal oscillator,
* A tiny electronic timing circuit,
* A stepper motor,
* A plastic reduction gear train,
* A magnetic rotor,
* Hand-drive gears for seconds, minutes, and hours.Please Like and Subscribe
