  Reference.com/Encyclopedia/Jewel bearing
Jewel bearings were used widely for mechanical (escapement) watches, where their low and predictable friction improved watch accuracy.
Bearing bores are typically less than 1 mm and typically support loads of under 1 gram; large jewel bearings are as large as 10 mm and support loads up to about 500 g.
Jewel bearings are known for their low breakaway friction and highly consistent moving friction.

 Lightweight actuator in a computer mass memory storage device - Patent 5729406
The output torque is a function of the friction of bearing 24, the inertia of actuator 5, and the electrical resistance of the coil of voice coil 15.
Bearing 34 is a roller bearing or set of bearings secured about pivot pin 36 by way of a press fit; snap rings or other positioning systems may be used to secure bearing 34 to pivot pin 36.
Bearing 34 is preferably of the sealed type, so that lubrication may be maintained therewithin and prevented from migrating to disk surfaces or to read/write heads (which, of course, would degrade disk performance).

 Definition of Jewel bearing
A jewel bearing is a bearing which allows motion by running a shaft slightly off-center so that the shaft rolls inside of the bearing rather than sliding.
Jewel bearings were used widely for mechanical (escapement) watches because their low and predictable friction made the watch more accurate.
Bearing bores are typically less than 1mm and typically support loads of under 1 gram; large jewel bearings are as large as 10mm and support loads up to about 500g.

 The EverLife Buddhist Education Center - Symbols
The concept of a universally endowed jewel divulged that Perfect Enlightenment was a gift inherently possessed by mortals, although the distractions and dysfunctions of their existence had made it nearly impossible to uncover it.
However, by proposing that the valuable "jewel" may be used to procure "complete fulfillment of all need and desire," Sakyamuni offered a new interpretation regarding the achievement of spiritual emancipation.
In proposing that Perfect Enlightenment had been endowed to all mortals by virtue of divine grace, he suggested that all living beings were capable of transforming the realm of mortality into a buddha-land — a state of blissful fulfillment wherein all can enjoy the illumination of their senses, mind, desires and environment.

 Optical fiber termination - Patent 4135781
An optical fiber termination in which a plastic clad optical fiber is pushed into a heated ferrule containing a pierced watch bearing jewel so as to force the bare fiber through the aperture in the jewel.
The protruding bared fiber 16 is cut close to the jewel, e.g., with wire cutters, and the cut end is fused in a flame to form a globule as shown in FIG.
The fiber end is then lapped and polished flush with the watch jewel 12 leaving an enlarged conical portion 21 which mates with the conical throat of the aperture 17 so as to hold the fiber symmetrically therein.

 Mother Tongue Annoyances » Why is a ‘Jewel Case’ Called a ‘Jewel Case’?   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
Instead, the name apparently originates from watchmakers' use of the term jewel to refer generally to a polished hemispherical bearing used in a mechanism (high-quality mechanical watches and clocks commonly use gemstones, typically rubies, for such bearings because of their low friction properties).
In the early 1900s a process to make manmade sapphire and ruby was invented, making jeweled bearings practical at much less expense.
The inventor of the jewel bearing was Fatio de Duelliers in 1704 in London and was patented
