A mechanical seal assembly for a rotatable shaft is disclosed. In one embodiment, the mechanical seal assembly comprises a first sealing element configured to surround a rotatable shaft, the first sealing element including an annular plate, and a plurality of annular rings that protrude from the annular plate in a direction substantially parallel to the rotatable shaft. The annular rings are concentric with the rotatable shaft. A second sealing element is configured to surround the rotatable shaft, with the second sealing element including one or more springs that provide a biasing force against the first sealing element such that substantially constant contact is maintained between the annular rings and a sealing surface. One or more lubricant cavities are defined between the annular rings and the sealing surface.
