[1] 34 space between pillars
5 mm up to bearing edge
1.2mm up to bearing centre

So 34 + 5 + 5 + 1.2 + 1.2 = 46.4

Rotor is 10mm wide, so spacers should be:

(34 + 5 + 5 - 10) / 2 = 17mm

[2] "It is furthermore of great importance, in order to avoid vibrations which would interfere with the proper application of the process, that the
speed at which the grinding is effected should bear a definite relation to the critical, corresponding to the fundamental natural vibration, and the
following rule should be observed: If the system is run in two bearings the grinding speed should be an odd multiple or submultiple of the critical.
If, on the other hand, the system is supported on one side only, the speed should be an even multiple or submultiple of the critical." ~ Nikola
Tesla
