Hope you are not on a wild goose chase, I have two escalator FOK both a 10 stop and a 20 stop and the 20 stop is smother than the 10 stop, and my newer slots like my HIGH TOPS are even smother.
As far as the bearing, I don't think that it's like a convectional needle bearing, may have more of a bushing, looking at several of my mech's all have some play some more than others,I don't think they are serviceable as far as taking them apart to inspect, I only clean them with solvents and oil them, but on some of my newer mech's the center pin looks like it can be un screwed to service but I have not gotten to service those mech's as of yet,
