housing walls and includes a circular recessed surface at its corners.
Seal housings with a hollow cylindrical cross sectional shape are
provided at each corner of the piston housing. An inner seal element is
positioned within each of the recessed surfaces with the inner seal
element including an elongate cylindrical body with a slot therethrough.
An outer seal element is positioned within the seal housings with the
