The paper deals with a dynamic analysis of a non-contacting seal with two flexibly mounted rotating rings. The kinematics of motion is described and the equations of dynamics derived. Hydromechanical forces and moments containing coupling elements of the equation of motion are also determined. Selected results of digital calculations show the influence of the coupling elements on the axial and angular vibrations of a flexibly mounted ring.
