The anchor has slanted pallets on the arms which alternately catch on the teeth of the escape wheel, receiving impulses.
From the en.wikipedia.org
In the anchor escapement the swing of the pendulum pushes the escape wheel backward during part of its cycle.
From the en.wikipedia.org

From the en.wikipedia.org
An impulse from the escape wheel to the impulse roller is nearly dead-beat, meaning little sliding action needing lubrication.
From the en.wikipedia.org
Almost immediately another tooth on the escape wheel would start to slide up the angle face on the other arm thereby lifting the arm.
From the en.wikipedia.org
