The floating ring member is axially disposed between the upper and lower ring members. The floating ring member is also disposed at least partially around a drive shaft and is radially movable and constrained inwardly of the outer ring member. The floating ring member has a radial clearance between the drive shaft and a floating ring member inner surface with the radial clearance varying depending on the relative position of the floating ring member to the outer ring member.
