Bearings for clocks
Our EZO precision miniature bearings can be used as arbor bearings in clocks.
We can supply from stock a range of small bearings in metric sizes and inch sizes for shafts as small as 0.6mm in diameter.
To achieve very low levels of friction, our miniature clock bearings can be supplied with very low viscosity synthetic instrument oil or without any lubricant at all (dry bearings). Where bearings are used without lubrication, we recommend that they are of the corrosion resistant type.
These miniature clock bearings are available open or with metal shields for additional protection against dirt and dust.
For more on clocks, clock mechanisms and clockmaking, see the British Clock and Watchmakers Guild website. If you would like to speak to a member of the SMB Bearings team to discuss which bearing would be suitable for your timepiece, contact the team directly.
