10ee idler pulley bearing question

[Vetro]

morning all! the idler pulley bearings on my 10ee have crapped out on me and i was wondering if there is any reason i cant/shouldnt replace them(ND 8504 single seal)with double sealed bearings?
thanks!

Check the speed rating for the seals. Those bearings are turning fast (~12,000 RPM) when the spindle is at max speed.

thanks, will do! my machine was downdgraded to a max speed of 1200 rpm when its drive was replaced many years ago so hopefully it wont be too much of an issue but i will look into it
