Abstract

See full text

A guide element for hydraulic fluid includes a first end surface, a second end surface, and an exterior surface connecting the first end surface to the second end surface. The first end surface includes a first chamfered opening. The second end surface includes a second opening that fluidly communicates with the first opening to define a longitudinal bore that includes a tapered section. The first chamfered opening and the tapered section are configured to guide the hydraulic fluid to facilitate transformation of a turbulent flow of the hydraulic fluid into a laminar flow of the hydraulic fluid.
