Hello All,
I am new to designing, and I need to design an air tight tubing with a motor shaft running thru. Following are representative pics:

Blue arrows indicate air flow direction.
Red part is a shaft connected to a motor with top speed of 1500 RPM (mostly oscillatory motion)
Yellow part is either a Sleeve Bearing (Bushing) or a Ball Bearing.
Queries:
1. Can a bearing/bushing be used inside a split housing as shown. If yes, do I need add a radial gasket for positive contact?
2. What would be the tolerance/gap between the bushing/bearing and shaft for low friction rotation and leak proofing.
3. Is a sleeve bushing right option for this design?
Any design improvement can help.
Thanks in advance
