Your pressure, if you need it will depend on RPM, application, load, type of bearings, type of gears and type of oil to be used.
More information in the initial post will provide more usable response information.

The helical gears will put a thrust load on the spherical roller bearing so the oil should enter on the thrust side. Too much pressure and the oil will mist too little and it won’t get in between the rollers.
With that kind of RPM and power, lubrication may need to be CFD modeled to make sure it gets to the right places.
