Control clock DigiTimer
The Rauscher DigiTimer is a fully electronic, microprocessor-controlled quartz master clock that meets the highest demands when it comes to controlling tower clocks and bell systems. By using a touchscreen, we have achieved maximum ease of use. The watch is rounded off by a USB slot. This enables program exchange with a PC. PC software for maintaining the data is supplied by us. We would be happy to send you this PC program on request. Thanks to radio synchronization, it is no longer necessary to adjust or change over.

BELL FITTINGS
Bell supports
Rauscher bell supports are made from solid and particularly old oak. For sound reasons, steel bell supports are usually only used when space is limited. At the same time, we deliver all bell fittings in very solid hot-galvanised steel, thus assuring safety over a long time. For the bearings we are only using pendulum ball from quality brand SKF.

Bell clappers
We produce hand beaten clappers with a quality assured maximum Brinell-strength of 135 HB 30. This is prerequisite for smooth operation and soft ring of the clapper. Only with perfectly balanced clappers, bells are able to sound in an unique way. As several centuries of experience show, multi-layer calfskin is the best material when it comes to attaching the clappers to the bell. Single layers of leather reach a thickness of 5 mm. For each bell individually we produce "turning rings" and middle-screws assuring a smooth side traction during the ringing process and helping minimize abrasive forces on the bell.
