Bearing isolator assembly

A bearing isolator assembly comprising:

• an inner support member;
• an outer support member configured to cooperate with the inner support member so as to define a path of travel of the inner support member relative to the outer support member;
• a resilient member;
• and
• an elastomeric ring;
• wherein the inner support member defines an inner spring seat directed toward the outer support member, the outer support member defines an outer spring seat directed toward the inner support member, the resilient member is disposed between the inner spring seat and the outer spring seat, and the resilient member is configured to resist compression between the inner support member and the outer support member within a first portion of the path of travel;
• and
• wherein the outer support member defines a ring envelope, the elastomeric ring is disposed in the ring envelope, the inner support member defines a ring compression surface directed toward the elastomeric ring, and the elastomeric ring is configured to resist compression between the ring compression surface of the inner support member and the ring compression surface of the outer support member within a second portion of the path of travel.
