Left Hand Blocking Plate Caterpillar 9U7832

The Blocking Plate is used to block the flow of oil from the steering pump at the differential steering motor. This blockage allows technicians to assess the maximum pressure generated by the steering system under controlled conditions. By isolating the steering pump's output, the blocking plate ensures that pressure measurements reflect the maximum potential pressure of the system.Attributes:• Provides on-machine measurement of pressure much faster and easier.• Can be used on either the standard steering circuit or on the attachment, high torque steering circuit.• Steering circuit pressure is measured at the pressure tap locations on the discharge ports of the steering pump.Applications: The Blocking Plate is positioned on the left-hand side of the steering system at the differential steering motor to block the flow of hydraulic oil, creating a closed circuit that allows for accurate measurement of the steering system’s maximum pressure.
