About this product

Spinner & Moving-Part Medals

A spinning centre is the most requested upgrade on a race medal, and it is the one most likely to disappoint, because it stops being a casting and becomes a mechanism the moment it moves.

What decides whether it survives is the rivet and the bearing surface behind the insert. Too tight and it seizes in a month; too loose and it rattles from the first day and wears an oval into the seat. We quote the rivet and the clearance rather than describing it as a spinner and hoping.

The other constraint is weight and balance. A heavy rotating insert on a light body makes the whole medal hang crooked on its ribbon, so the insert is sized against the body and the bail is placed for the finished weight, not the drawing.

Themed races, anniversary events and series finales. Send your concept and we will tell you honestly whether it should move.

FAQ

Spinner & Moving-Part Medals: quick answers

What is the minimum order for spinner medals?

Minimum order is just 12 — with bulk pricing tiers as quantities grow.

How fast will my order arrive?

Your free mockup lands within 24 hours and the finished order ships in about 2 weeks — express turnaround is available for tight dates.

Why do spinners stop spinning?

The rivet and the bearing surface. Too tight and it seizes; too loose and it rattles and wears the seat oval. Both are quotable numbers, so we quote them instead of just calling it a spinner.

Will it hang straight?

Only if the insert is sized against the body and the bail is placed for the finished weight. A heavy centre on a light medal hangs crooked, which is a design decision rather than a manufacturing fault.
