Vee Jewel bearings are suitable for highly sensitive instruments requiring low torque bearings and where the moving element is light. Vee Jewel bearings give minimum friction when used with conical pivots. Normally, the contact area of the pivot should be highly polished.
Typical applications of Vee Jewel Bearings: Ohmmeters, Voltmeters, Ammeters, Gauges, Compasses, Relays, Contacts, Timers & Tuning Mechanism, Rotational Display Devices, Temperature Controller, Clocks, Gas meters and so on.
