Ceramic bearing: 

1. Ceramic Bearings have two types of ceramic bearing, hybrid ceramic bearing and full ceramic bearing.The hybrid ceramic bearing has steel inner and outer rings with ceramic balls.

2. Ceramic Bearings, Si3N4 stands for the silicon nitride ceramic material and is black colored,

3. Ceramic Bearings, SiC stands for the silicon carbide material and  is alsoblack colored.

4. Ceramic Bearings,  ZrO2 stands for the zirconium dioxide, also known as zirconia or zirconium oxide, they   are white colored, a ZrO2 ball looks exactly like a pearl. 

5. The ceramic material is not stronger than steel, but ceramic bearing are lighter and have lower friction than steel,  which makes ceramic bearing go faster with lower heat generated.

Full Ceramic bearing Applications:

• Aircraft generators
• Biotechnology equipment
• High speed machining and grinding spindles
• high speed mills
• Precision instruments
• Pumps and compressors

What is the advantage of Ceramic ball bearings? 

Ceramic bearings have the normal steel balls replaced by white ceramic balls. The ceramic balls are made of solid silicon nitride. 

Ceramic silicon nitride balls are called ceramic but have nothing in common with household dish ceramics. They are called ceramic because it's easier calling them ceramic then silicon nitride. The ceramic silicon nitride ball is by far, smoother, harder, lighter and stronger than one made off steel.
