 Traditionally mounted bells intended to swing have a [[Bell_Ringing_Components#Wheel|wheel mounted to the headstock]] with a rope around it that is dropped to a lower level of the building. Pulling the rope a few times gets the bell swinging and ringing. Letting go of the rope allows the bell to come to a rest and become quiet again. Automating these bells is possible with the products on this page if the following requirements are met.
-* The bell must be a sturdy steel wheel (which we can also supply)
+* A bronze bell is larger than 20  inches in diameter for standard motors
-* The headstock axle must be in modern pillow block bearings and free to swing
+* The bell must have a sturdy steel wheel (except MagForce motors)

== Swinging bell motor controls ==
The pendulous motion of a swinging church bell requires carefully controlled and timed electrical pulses to be applied to the motor to properly start and maintain the desired swinging angle. All Chime Master intelli-Swing motors are furnished with one of the following computerized motor control systems.
