Is it true that magnetic bearings have infinite life?

Almost. Since there is no wear in the non-contacting system, deterioration is very limited. Electrical windings and laminations have expected lifetimes exceeding 25 years. However, electronic components can fail if stressed, and have a shorter life. It is important to note that magnetic bearings provide consistent performance throughout their life.
