    thank u so much, very well explained. I want to know that, is that spring who stops the needle at certain limit avoiding the needle to rotate? (just like the disk was rotating because no spring there.)

    • @GrandadIsAnOldMan
      @GrandadIsAnOldMan  6 років тому +1

      Without the spring to stop it that disk would spin round continuously. With the spring in place the further the spring is twisted the more it resists the turn so the amount it rotates is proportional to the speed of the magnet spinning.

    At 8:55 I noticed that the disk to which the needle is connected to only moves a certain distance then stops. However, in the example you showed us, the disk rotated a full 360 degrees. Do you have any idea why that happened? I think that it has to do with the weight distribution of the disk but I don't know if that's correct.

    • @GrandadIsAnOldMan
      @GrandadIsAnOldMan  3 роки тому

      I am not sure what you are looking at. The cup that the needle is attached to does not rotate 360 degrees. It is rigidly attached to the needle and you don't see the needle spinning round 360 degrees do you?

      @@shokobata do you mean the metal disk I have suspended on the wooden frame? The cup in the speedometer with the needle attached is turning against the spring to give it resistance. That is why it needs more speed to turn further. You can see the spring at 04:19 if you look carefully. It is a flat spiral coil. I tell you about it at that point.

    • @GrandadIsAnOldMan
      @GrandadIsAnOldMan  6 років тому

      I am not sure if this is the answer to your question. Jump to 05:28 and you can see the coil spring clearly.
      The drive from the motor or wheel spins a magnet.
      The magnetic field causes the cup attached to the speedo needle to spin.
      To stop it spinning right round it is attached to a spring so it is the torsion of the spring that determines how far the speedo needle will move compared to how fast the car or bike is moving.

      The temperature gauge and fuel gauge will be electrical, so your power is OK. The speed gauge and km will be mechanical. So I would guess your Bowden cable is broken. That is the flexible metal cable that goes from your gearbox or wheel into the back of the speedometer assembly.

      Possibly because you have the wrong odometer 🤔🤔 Does it register the correct speed? If it is exactly 10 times the correct value, it could be two of the gears driving the individual number rings are stuck together, maybe some dust or grit stuck between them.

      Assuming yours is basically the same construction as the one in the video, you can see how the gear drive works. The drive for the odometer is geared off the same drive that spins up the speedo 08:55 so IF the speed registered is correct, then it must be the right set up for your vehicle. If it is spinning the number disks too fast then like I said, it must be that some of the number dials are jammed together and being dragged round. I assume you are not getting confused by the 10th of a Km number dial.@@whiteunbox5978

      @GrandadIsAnOldMan  3 місяці тому

      @yogendrasinhparmar8626 In that case, you have a problem. The speedo will have been calibrated by the manufacturer to indicate the correct speed based on the rpm of the drive cable. The rpm of that cable is set by its gear linkages and is governed by the size of your wheels. Smaller wheels turn faster for the same speed on the road. They will have adjusted the tension of the detent spring to take this into account for the bike the speedo is designed to fit. You could try adjusting the tension of the detent spring, but as you have no way of calibrating it against a known speed, you will just be guessing and could make it worse.
