could be that with weight of oil in it that the lower bearing isn't quite rigid enough? would it be possible to extend the shaft through the top and run braces to the sides of the outer tub. with a top bearing so the shaft is supported on both ends.
cool idea though

Any updates on this? Looks like a great alternative to dropping $$$ on a centrifuge
