Centering force maximized by decreased seal clearance in flow direction. Increased centering force prevents contact between seal and shaft, eliminating seal wear. Ring seals used to restrict fluid leakage between rotating shaft and nonrotating housing. Seal used in Space Shuttle main engine oxygen pump.
