The screen may have a contoured design to cradle the ball, providing additional stability and preventing it from becoming dislodged during operation. Attributes: • Ensures that the ball can move freely when needed and remains securely seated when not in use • Prevent hydraulic fluid from leaking past the valve and maintaining unit pressure. Applications: The Ball Retainer Seat is used in the steering valve to control hydraulic fluid flow maintaining the integrity of the valve and ensuring reliable and efficient operation within the hydraulic steering unit.
