A bored hole, laser-engraved clearance zone, and wear finishing create a rounded pivot-bearing profile that reduces marking and wear in timepieces.
A laser-engraved clearance zone and rounded transition help timepiece pivot bearings avoid edge damage during pivot insertion.
A recessed bearing contact surface cuts oil-layer shear stress at the shaft shoulder, reducing energy loss while preserving pivot guidance.
A dual-resilient horology bearing absorbs axial and radial shocks while storing lubricant to keep precise axis recentering over service life.
A compact elastic bearing assembly recenters a watch axis after shocks while maintaining fluid lubrication for stable chronometric performance.
A MAC-based lubricant combines friction reduction and oxidation resistance for longer-lasting non-magnetic watch balance shafts.
Single crystal quartz bearing uses a trigonal pyramid blind hole to improve axis centering and reduce friction.
Curved elastic arms lock into a support via a bayonet fitting, eliminating rigid attachment stress to enable assembly in small movements.
A magnetic anti-shock device uses movable pole masses to absorb shock energy and maintain component integrity.
Rotational symmetry in the pivot module and housing allows elastic means to retain the staff without precise angular orientation.
Adjustable elastic members change the number of stable states, resolving fixed-position limitations.
Elastic member with outer and central parts absorbs shock, ensuring consistent pierced stone positioning despite material degradation.
Controlled polymer shrinkage establishes precise bearing clearance, reducing assembly complexity and shock sensitivity.
Integral counter-pivot stone on elastic structure maintains large visible diameter while absorbing impact energy in clock movements.
Segmented elastic arms provide tailored displacement responses, resolving the trade-off between multi-directional shock absorption and manufacturing precision.
