Abstract: Apparatus comprising a first shaft and a second shaft supported in a substantially concentric relationship so that they are able to rotate relative to one another about a rotational axis (R); wherein one of the first and second shafts passes through a bore defined in the other of the first and second shafts; a seal arrangement between the first and second shafts, said seal arrangement being locked from rotational movement relative to said first shaft; wherein the seal arrangement comprises a first portion that is rotatably mounted on the second shaft by a bearing and a second portion that is configured to seal against a miming surface defined by the second shaft. Advantageously, since the seal arrangement is rotatably mounted on the same shaft against which it forms a seal, the sealing arrangement accommodates for alignment errors between the first and second shafts.
