Classification: CPC F | IPC F

Claim 0:
1. A dual deflection ring system comprising:
a first component;
a second component, wherein the first component and the second component rotate relative to one another about an axis of rotation;
at least one deflection ring disposed between the first component and the second component, the at least one deflection ring including two sets of pockets including a first set of pockets and a second set of pockets, the two sets of pockets configured to provide two levels of compressibility in-series between the first component and the second component; and
a reaction ring configured to contact the at least one deflection ring, wherein the reaction ring is substantially non-compressible,
wherein the two sets of pockets project radially relative to the axis of rotation and are compressible between the first component and the second component.
