Jack shaft for a home made vibratory tub

Something like this

Gonna put offset weights on both ends and drive from the middle

Have a treadmill motor with variable speed dial


Would a ball bearing or bushing hold up better to the shaft being out of balance on both ends ??

I'd think a pillow block type bearing would be fine.
I kinda want to see the finished product, sounds like a cool project.

A vid of the bench dancing with the finished product running might be quite entertaining! ;)
