Abstract
An encapsulated rotary seal around a rotating shaft, the seal having an outer annular body and an inner annular body. The inner annular body engages the rotating shaft and permits free rotation of the shaft while providing a liquid tight seal around the rotating shaft. The outer annular body is molded about and permanently adhered to the inner annular body, the outer annular body permitting limited non-concentric or eccentric movement of the rotating shaft engaged to the inner annular body without affecting the integrity of the seal between the rotating shaft and the inner annular body.
