RE: [ST] Ceramic Ball Bearings
Good question. I don't remember if they said.
However, I do remember there's much less friction. Thus much less heat. Therefore, the steel cage must last longer than if there were conventional balls in them. I'm guessing though.
I'm a cheapo. That's why I read the mags whilst grocery shopping. It was an excellent article but I'm not sure it was worth $4.50.
I wrote down a phone number and URL that was in the article. I'll post it when I remember to bring it in tomorrow.

It's not the bearing surfaces that fail in bearings its the cage that
holds the balls in place. I wonder what the shock loading is like.
