ABSTRACT:
An apparatus includes a tilt piston having a piston head. The piston head is reciprocally disposed within a cylindrical bore formed in a housing, the bore being oriented along an axis. A seal is mounted circumferentially about the piston head. The seal has an outer diameter that exceeds an inner diameter of the cylindrical bore. The seal extends radially in a first direction having an axial component. A support is mounted circumferentially of the piston head adjacent the seal. The support has an outer diameter less than the outer diameter of the seal. The seal is a continuous annular ring which may be of a circular or rectangular cross section. The seal and the support may be formed as a unitary member or may be two distinct elements. The support contacts the bore during a portion of travel of the piston within the bore.
