Primary carbon graphite properties allow wide range of carbon slide bearings applications, even in operating conditions where other materials can not be used. It's application is in furnaces, driers, textile and food machinery etc.

Basic and most important advantages of graphite slide bearings are:
- self lubricicity and low friction coefficient,
- good chemical resistance,
- high temperature use,
- high thermal shock resistance,
- easy to machine,
- good thermal conductivity.
