Device and method for measuring horological shakes

A device for measuring horological shakes comprising a structure carrying an articulated mechanism comprising a gripper arranged so as to clamp a horological mobile component within a horological assembly or an assembled horological movement, wherein said articulated mechanism comprises a first element fixed to said structure, and relative to which a second element is capable of undertaking a substantially linear movement under the effect of at least one actuator arranged so as to maneuver, in a contactless manner and in first and second running directions, said second element, in that said articulated mechanism comprises a compliant mechanism with necks and/or flexible strips, having a substantially linear force/stroke characteristic, connecting said second element to said first element, and wherein said device comprises at least one position sensor arranged to measure positions of said second element in said first and second running directions, and at least one load sensor arranged to determine variation in at least one of an axial pushing or pulling load of said second element carrying said gripper and a gradient of said load, and to send, to a control system comprised in said device, a signal for triggering a position measurement by the at least one position sensor during each sudden change in the variation in each of the first and second running directions, and to determine a value of a shake of said mobile component within the assembly in which it is mounted, by comparing position values measured in two positions in which the sudden change occurs.
