Claim 10:
11. 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;
an inner deflection ring disposed between the first component and the second component, the inner deflection ring including a first set of pockets, the first set of pockets configured with a first compliance to allow deflection of the inner deflection ring; and
an outer deflection ring including a second set of pockets that project radially relative to the axis of rotation, the second set of pockets configured with a second compliance to allow deflection of the outer deflection ring, the outer deflection ring disposed between the inner deflection ring and the second component,
wherein the first set of pockets and the second set of pockets are compressible between the first component and the second component.
