Anti-friction roller

A type of bearing in which two or more rollers are used to carry a pivot. Anti-friction rollers used in clocks take the form of pivoted wheels without teeth, arranged in different planes with the circumferences intersecting to leave an aperture of the pivot's diameter. The pivot friction is reduced by the leverage which the roller radius provides over the roller pivot friction. The provision of anti-friction roller bearings indicates work of the highest quality.
