ABSTRACT:
According to embodiments shown, the novel oil seals employ tilting pads, such as are used in bearing practices, to avoid or reduce the cross-coupled stiffness of cylindrical, hydrodynamic bearings. The tilting pads and cooperative grooved, sealing lands are arranged to effect a maximum sealing within a minimum axial length.
