Abstract
Fluid film seal for shafts rotating at high speeds with improved centering means for low unbalance of the rotating seal ring. Centering and drive means are combined and interspaced at the center portion of the outer diameter of the symmetrical rotatable seal ring. The drive and centering at the outer ring diameter direct drive and centering forces inward, lowering tensile stresses due to centrifugal forces. Symmetry of the rotatable seal ring cross-section makes also centrifugal stresses symmetrical with no resulting torsion around the ring cross section to cause face distortions and yields an alternate seal surface at the back side of subject seal ring.
