These worked fine. I didn't note a method to take up for overall wear in the outer band though. Or is the load on the bearing outer races such that no brinneling occurs? Interesting design, which has also been reversed in small potentiometers in order to give a very fine tuning of the value. It that case however, ball bearings with axial preload maintains the friction, while allowing slippage to save the bog std pot mechanism when it reaches the end of the rotation. As such, with flat bearing faces, it seems like it would have a limited operational lifetime, perhaps < thousand hours? Perhaps 5 thousandths taper, matched in the output shaft diameter so the axial location bearing could be used as the preload adjuster comes to mind.
