Abstract
A dual deflection ring system includes a pair of components that rotate relative to one another about an axis of rotation. One or more deflection rings are disposed between the components. The deflection ring(s) include two sets of pockets configured to provide two levels of compressibility in-series between the components. The two sets of pockets project radially relative to the axis of rotation and are compressible between the components.
