EscapeCalc

Analyze escapement geometry and impulse efficiency in mechanical watch movements

Engineering AIPaid

EscapeCalc models the geometry of lever, co-axial, and detent escapements to compute impulse angle, locking angle, and drop. The tool simulates pallet stone interaction with escape wheel teeth under varying mainspring torque profiles to predict positional rate variation. Optimization suggestions adjust pallet geometry to minimize friction losses while maintaining safe lock margins.
