A ceramic bearing assembly includes a shaft (20), and a bearing sleeve
(10) rotatably receiving the shaft. The bearing sleeve includes an inside
wall. First and second bearing blocks (120, 140) are formed at the inside
wall at first and second ends of the bearing sleeve respectively. The
first bearing blocks are arranged in circular fashion, and the second
bearing blocks are arranged in circular fashion complementarily offset
from the first bearing blocks. Each of the first and second bearing
members defines a concave bearing surface (122, 142), the bearing
surfaces cooperatively supporting the shaft therebetween.
