Hey Henning,

The bearing is a 6x10x8 needle bearing. The loads are low, so pretty much any bearing will work. My recommendation is for a C0 rated bearing to make it nice and tight.

I would also use a shielded bearing as well. I think that the rpms are too high for any kind of contact seal, and all bearings in this size will be rated for more than 30,000 rpm.
