An oscillating sprinkler (also called a lawn sprinkler) is used for watering residential lawns or gardens. It provides even water coverage to a wide rectangular area by spraying a fan-shaped curtain of water back and forth. The oscillating gear mechanism inside is powered by the water flowing through the oscillator tube, no other energy source is needed.

In this 3D animation video, we will be looking at the key external components and understand how the mechanism inside the sprinkler works.

In today’s example, we have 8 gear stages (Each pair of gears that meshes with each other represents a gear stage) with a ratio of 2.6 for each gear stage, the total ratio is 2088 to 1, so the oscillator tube speed will be 2088 time less than the water wheel speed.
