I can see on something like a fishing reel or even a bicycle where the there s not nearly the amount of excess power over friction that there d be a noticeable difference.
Ceramic motorcycle crank bearings.
Racing ceramic bearing applications performance bearing offers replacement ceramic bearings to replace your antique steel bearings in your wheel and axle bearings transmission and gearbox bearings camshaft bearings and special applications for high speed industrial machine tools.
Because ceramic bearings are rounder with a smoother surface and more uniform size friction is reduced and that can contribute to a less energy required to turn the cranks or spin the wheels.
Rolling resistance is the key trump card promoted by ceramic bearing fans.
Aerospace quality ceramic balls c4 clearance ceramic hybrid bearings are widely used as a performance upgrade in two and four stroke racing motorcycle engines.

If our ceramics will hold up in larry s top fuel bike they will hold up anywhere.
Don t know much about ceramic bearings but i d imagine that in a motorcycle application the lower rolling resistance would hardly be noticeable to hp or fuel economy.
Larry mcbride s 1000hp top fuel motorcycle has over 25 ceramic hybrid bearings in it for over 5 seasons with zero failures.
Hybrid bearings were being used in machine tools.

The typical performance gain when using ceramic hybrid bearings is approximately 5 due to decreased friction which results in less heat build up.
The ceramic balls are 60 lighter and offer 40 less friction over the steel balls.
In 1997 dave read about ceramic bearings and started his research on why at the higher running speeds those hybrid ceramic bearings were being used.
That includes installation lubrication and maintenance.
