I shall reveal my design to no one!

But yes, a bronze bushing wouldn't maintain its eccentricity as much as I would like and roller bearings have less frictional losses.

Last year the gears had no bearings or bushings! We simply ran the gear directly on the steel shaft. Scary huh? That is where centerless grinding and different materials come into play.
