I would like to hear from anyone who has knowledge of sleeve or roller type bearings which can operate continuously submerged.

Specifically NOT rubber lined/fluted type.

How about silicon carbide-lined sleeve bearings that can operate "submerged"? I mean, they are designed to operate product-lubricated (which can include water) and therefore are "submerged".

There is also a patented design that uses a "cellular" matrix that can run product-lubricated or dry becuase they contain graphite that will lubricate the shaft when dry but not when wet....kinda neat...
