Abstract
A sealing system in a cavity under the stator of a turbomachine flow path, the cavity being located between a root of a vane of the stator and a complementary rotor device, the root including two surfaces each provided with an abradable coating, the rotor device being provided with a first and a second sealing element, arranged facing the first and the second surface respectively, the first surface and the first sealing element forming a first sealing pair and delimiting a first leakage section between them, the second surface and the second sealing element forming a second sealing pair and delimiting a second leakage section between them, one of the two pairs tending towards a minimum leakage section when the other tends towards a maximum leakage section, and vice versa.
