A non-contacting seal which includes a stationary tooth that radially overlaps a tooth on a rotatable shaft, with the sealing action resulting from controlled clearance both radially between stationary tooth and the shaft, and axially between the stationary tooth and the shaft. The seal may also be in the form of a stationary tooth that is approximately in the same radial plane as a tooth on a rotatable shaft, with the sealing action resulting from both a controlled clearance gap between the two teeth and from the momentum of liquid traveling outward from the rotating tooth making it difficult for the liquid to turn to go axially through the gap between the rotating tooth and the stationary tooth. The seal may also comprise the combination of the two seals described above or a pair of the same seals, i.e., two radially overlapping or two in the same radial plane.
