Carbon Radial Bearing works better than LTB Bearing commonly used in submersible motor. When using media-lubricated carbon slide bearings, friction and wear considerably decrease in the presence of small quantities of liquid or vapors. Low coefficient of friction improves the overall efficiency and lower the starting current. Depending on the load, medium and geometry, hydrodynamic lubrication then begins in the liquids starting at a certain sliding speed.

All carbon graphite grades retain the basic properties, thus making them as unique engineering material, and particularly suited for axial bearings which may operate in conditions beyond the limits of other material. In this state, no frictional wear occurs at all.
