Abstract
The dynamic response of a flexibly mounted ring to runout of the rotating seat in mechanical face seals is analyzed assuming small perturbations. It is found that tracking ability of the stator depends only on its dynamic characteristics and operating conditions and is not affected by the amount of runout. Three different modes of dynamic response are shown and the condition for parallel tracking is presented
