Bells in motion

Swinging bells, with motors or electromagnets

For swinging bells, the motor starts and stops the swing smoothly and precisely — with less stress on the bell tower.

Two technologies

Linear or rotary motor

  • 01

    Linear (electromagnetic) motor

    No chains and no gears: silent and maintenance-free. The bell starts and stops smoothly, “as if a person were ringing it”, and can still be rung by rope.

  • 02

    Rotary motor

    For large bells and bell towers that need it, with controlled acceleration and braking.

  • 03

    Survey and installation

    We study the bell and the bell tower, recommend the right motor and take care of the whole installation.

  • 04

    Together with the automation

    The motor connects to the bell-ringing controller, so the bell swings automatically according to the church’s schedule.

From survey to sound

We take care of everything

We can install swinging bells in your church — or wherever else they are needed — driven by an electric swing motor or by electromagnets. We take on the design, construction and installation in full, and guarantee a flawless sound.

The same bell can have both a motor and an electromagnetic striker: the bell-ringing controller automatically locks the striker while the bell is swinging, so that it cannot be damaged.
