Hey all,

I'm wondering if any of you have experience with anything that can seal a shaft travelling at around 3000rpm but also must allow +/-10mm axial shaft movement?
Originally I was going to use a basic radial lip seal but I'm not sure if the lip will just bend back on its self when the shaft is axially moved.

Cheers
Steve
