2111682 9301442 PCTABS00019 A rotary fluid union (10) comprises a rotor (68) having a sealing face (114) and mounted into a rotary member (14), and a stator (82) having a sealing face (115) and mounted in a stationary housing (30), the rotor (68) and stator (82) being mechanically disconnected other than by the sealing faces (114, 115) thereof being abutted. The sealing faces (114, 115) are abutted to define a gapless sealing interface, normally disposed in a plane perpendicular to the axis of rotation (20), but inclined to the axis of rotation (20) in situations where the rotary member (14) deflects radially from coincidence with the axis of rotation (20), whereby the sealing interface plane is at an angle to the perpendicular plane.
