Abstract

A hydraulic unit that uses first and second support structures to eliminate the use of webs within an arcuate inlet and outlet of a valve plate. Specifically, a valve plate body extends between an inner and outer diameter wherein the outer diameter in a first position is placed in close proximity to a first support structure and the inner diameter is placed in close proximity to a second support structure. Thus, stress of hydraulic fluid flowing through the arcuate inlet or outlet deflects the inner and outer diameters causing them to engage the first and second support structures such that stress is passed to the first and second support structures and the valve plate is stiffened.
