The Steering Metering Pump Backup Ring supports the hydraulic systems in the equipment and functions primarily as a sealing element, preventing hydraulic fluid from leaking past the pump shaft and maintaining the necessary pressure within the system. By effectively containing the hydraulic fluid, the backup ring helps ensure reliable steering performance and responsiveness necessary for the safe operation of the equipment.Attributes:• Provides a seal to prevent fluid leakage in the pump.• Protects against damage from hydraulic surges.• Protects internal components from contamination.• Helps in minimizing friction between moving parts.Applications: The Steering Metering Pump Backup Ring is located within the steering metering pump assembly, where it seals the connection between the pump shaft and the pump housing, thereby preventing hydraulic fluid from escaping and maintaining the necessary pressure for effective steering control.
