ABSTRACT:
An analog display instrument is provided, in particular for use in dashboards in motor vehicles, having an indicator disc mounted by a radial bearing such that the radial bearing allows the indicator disc to rotate. The indicator disc is fitted with a pointer which can be pivoted in front of a scale. The radial bearing comprises a sliding element and a guide element, with either of the slide element and the guide element having a ring structure and the other element having a holder which is suitable to hold the ring structure. The radial bearing is a journal bearing with the holder resting directly on a wall of the ring structure such that the ring structure may slide with respect to the holder.
