<VV> [fastvair] Ceramic Bearings ...Why?

[corvairs]

In looking over the website, I'm struck by a couple of things. First is 
the broken English in the copy - that always concerns me. Second is that 
there seems to be very little actual information about the bearings 
themselves. For example, in order for us to use some of these bearings 
they have to be a press fit onto a shaft. That involves an interference 
fit. The specs for an interference fit with metal  are going to be 
entirely different for ceramic - But them maybe I just didn't find it.

My last real job was working for Wilbanks International, a division of 
Coors Porcelean (Now CoorsTek). I spent 8 years in the industrial 
ceramics industry, but that was back in the 70's. A lot has changed in 
ceramics technology since then -
