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?
I made a weatherproof bearing for a solar panel array from stainless
steel balls and races turned from scrap stainless plate. The shank of
a carbide drill bit cut the grooves. The housing is a PVC pipe cap
with a retaining ring of PVC pipe.
If you'd rather buy than make it, bearings can be found on-line or at
an industrial supplier in your area.
