I'm doing a roulette wheel and used the common hardware lazy susan disk. However, the weight, using it vertically, and repeated spins caused a ball bearing to fall out. I am looking for something either better or sealed. The wheel weighs about ten pounds. Ideas?
Tapered roller bearing. Same as on your car's front wheel.

The classic, though, is the spindle through the wheel center, and a pivot bearing 'way above the
wheel, not a complicated bearing underneath the wheel. Steel pin in a bronze cup.
