I have a Taiwan-built C-8 clone and the tensioner roller has 2, 6001Z ball bearings with a snap ring retainer on the shaft to hold it on, no bushing. It is 44 mm outside diameter and is 26.15 mm thick. The 6001z bearing is very common and you can find the OD & ID specs online.

Here's a link to the parts manual in .pdf (in German)
