The oil in the motor is pressurized by a spring loaded diaphragm assembly which keeps the oil around the bearings, rotor and rotary seal. Since the balance system puts the same pressure inside the motor as the outside well pressure, the rotary seal, "O" rings and stator winding work under a very low differential pressure. 1, record 3, English, - balance%20system
