Abstract
A gerotor motor has a housing located adjacent a port plate. The housing has two fluid chambers on opposite sides of a disc valve. The disc valve is in sealing surface engagement with the port plate to prevent fluid from moving between the fluid chambers. The valve assembly has forward and rearward sides and has substantially equal volumes of material removed therefrom so as to balance the port plate against any torsional forces imposed on the valve assembly which might otherwise deflect the valve assembly to interfere with its sealing relationship with the port plate.
