Su Song je bio inženjer zadužen za vodom pokretani astronomski toranj sa satom smješten u carskoj prijestolnici Kaifeng, u kome se koristio rani mehanizam zapinjače.[2][3][4][5] Mehanizam zapinjače Suovog tornja su ranije bili izumili budistički monah Yi Xing i državni službenik Liang Lingzan 725. kako bi pokretali obručastu sferu, iako je Suova obručasta sfera bila prva koja je koristila pogon mehaničkih satova.[5][6] Suov toranj sa sastom je također sadržavao najraniji poznati primjer lančanog prijenosa, koga je u svom kronološkom traktatu opisao kao tian ti (天梯) ili "nebeske ljestve".[7] Toranj sa satom je sadržavao 133 satne dizalice pomoću kojih se zvukom označavao protok vremena.[8] Su Songov traktat o satu Xinyi Xiangfayao (新 儀 . 象 法 要), je napisan 1092. i službeno izdan 1094. Iako je mehanizam detaljno opisan od mnogih historičara, kao što je Joseph Needham, sam sat je uništila džurčenska (džurdžijska) vojska prilikom osvajanja Kaifenga 1127. godine, a pokušaji da ga se obnovi nisu uspjeli. Osim djela Xinyi Xiangfayao, Su Song je poznat i po velikom nebeskom atlasu, nekoliko geografskih karata, kao i traktat o farmakologiji.
