Abstract
A sealing system for sealing one end of a rotating shaft from fluids. The sealing system includes a resilient bellows element connected at each end to a thrust plate. The bellows acts like a compression spring forcing the thrust plates against respective sealing elements and thereby forming two dynamic seals around the shaft. Each of the dynamic seals alternately rotate with the shaft, depending upon the respective forces of friction acting on each.
