2.5 General safety instructions
• Observe the country-specic accident prevention and environmental protection
regulations.
• Observe the safety regulations of the country in which the product is
used/operated.
• Use Rexroth products only when they are in good working order.
• Observe all instructions on the product.
• Do not assemble, operate, remove or maintain Rexroth products if under the
inuence of alcohol, drugs or medication that may affect your reaction time.
• Only use genuine Rexroth accessories and spare parts to ensure there is no
hazard to persons from unsuitable spare parts.
• Observe the technical data and ambient conditions specied in the product
documentation.
• If unsuitable products are installed or used in safety-relevant applications,
unexpected operating conditions may occur in the application, which could result
in personal injury or property damage. For this reason, only use the product in
safety-relevant applications if this use is expressly indicated and approved in the
product documentation, e. g.in explosion protection areas or in safety-related
parts of acontrol system (functional safety).
• Only commission the product if it has been determined that the end product
(e.g.machinery/system) in which the Rexroth products are installed complies
with the country-specic provisions, safety regulations and standards for the
application.
• Use tools appropriate for the work being performed and wear appropriate
protective clothing to prevent punctures and cuts (e.g.when removing protective
covers, disassembly).
• There is arisk of entanglement when operating the axial piston unit with
abare shaft end. Check whether or not your machine requires additional safety
measures for your application. If necessary, make sure these are appropriately
implemented.
• Depending on the type of control used, electromagnetic effects can be produced
when using solenoids. Applying a direct voltage signal (DC) to solenoids does
not create electromagnetic interference (EMI) nor is the solenoid affected
by EMI. Potential electromagnetic interference (EMI) exists if the solenoid is
energized with amodulated direct current (e.g.PWM signal). Appropriate testing
and measures should be taken by the machine manufacturer to ensure other
components or operators (e.g.with pacemaker) are not affected by this potential.
• The swivel angle sensor assembly group contains a permanent magnet. As most
types of electronic storage media are sensitive to magnetic elds, they have to
be stored separately from permanent magnets. Persons with implanted cardiac
pacemakers must take special precautions. Magnets may have a nickel coating,
which can lead to allergic reactions.

14/64A10VG series 60 | Safety instructions
Restriction of control function!
Risk of injury or property damage!
Under certain circumstances, moving parts in control equipment (e.g., valve
spools) can get stuck in an undened position due to contamination (e.g., impure
hydraulic uid, abrasion or residual dirt from components). As aresult, the
hydraulic uid ow and the build-up of torque in the axial piston unit can no
longer respond correctly to the operator’s specications. Even the use of various
lter elements (external or internal ow ltration) will not rule out afault but
merely reduce the risk.
▶ Check whether your application requires remedial measures on your machine
in order to bring the driven consumer to asafe position (e.g.safe stop).
▶ If necessary, make sure these are appropriately implemented.
Limitation of load-holding function in lifting winches!
Risk of injury or property damage!
Moving parts in high-pressure relief valves may in certain circumstances become
stuck in an undened position due to contamination (e.g.impure hydraulic uid).
This can result in restriction or loss of load-holding functions in lifting winches.
The load-holding capacity of the unit depends on its conguration.
▶ Check whether the application on your machine requires additional safety
measures in order to keep the load in asafe position.
▶ If necessary, make sure these are appropriately implemented.
WARNING
Risk of pressurized hydraulic uid leaking or ying components!
Danger to life or risk of injury! When selecting or using connecting elements
without sufcient high-pressure resistance, they may burst or lead to the leakage
of hydraulic uid and/or to ejected components. The ports and fastening threads
of the axial piston unit are designed for the specied maximum pressure.
▶ Only ever connect connecting elements and lines that match the ports of
the axial piston unit and can resist the intended application conditions
(e.g.pressure level, ow, hydraulic uid, temperature) with the necessary
safety factors.

5.1 Performance description
The Axial piston variable pump generates, controls and regulates ahydraulic uid
ow. It is designed for mobile applications, e.g. construction machinery.
Refer to data sheet 92760 and the order conrmation for the technical data,
operating conditions and application limits of the axial piston unit.
5.2 Product description
A10VG is avariable pump with an axial piston rotary group in swashplate design
for hydrostatic drives in closed circuits. Flow is proportional to drive speed and
displacement. The ow can be smoothly changed by control (cradle). For axial
piston units with swashplate design, the pistons are arranged axially relative to the
drive shaft.
Closed circuit
Pump function
Control
In the closed circuit, the hydraulic uid ows from the hydraulic pump to the
consumer, e.g. hydraulic motor and from there directly back to the hydraulic pump.
There is ahigh-pressure side and alow-pressure side which alternate depending on
which side is under load.
5.2.1 Functional description
Torque and rotational speed are applied to the drive shaft by adrive motor. The drive
shaft is connected to the cylinder by splines, causing the cylinder to rotate. With every
revolution, the pistons perform astroke in the cylinder bores, the size of which
depends on the pitch of the cradle. The slipper pads are held on with the pistons and
guided along the glide surface of the cradle by the retaining plate.
The pitch of the swashplate during arevolution causes each piston to move over
the bottom and top dead centers and back to its initial position.
Hydraulic uid is supplied and discharged through two control slots in the control
plate according to the displacement. On the high-pressure side, the hydraulic uid
is pushed out of the cylinder chamber and into the hydraulic system by the pistons.
At the same time, hydraulic uid ows into the growing piston chamber on the lowpressure side. In aclosed circuit, this is supported by the return ow and boost
pressure.
The swivel angle of the cradleis innitely variable. Adjusting the swivel angle
changes the piston stroke and, with it, the displacement. Control across the neutral
position will change the direction of ow (making reversing operation possible).
The swivel angle is controlled hydraulically by means of the stroking piston.
The cradle is mounted in swivel bearings for smooth operation and the neutral
position is spring-centered. Increasing the swivel angle increases the displacement;
reducing the angle reduces displacement accordingly.

line and serve simultaneously as boost valves. The high-pressure relief valves are
exclusively intended to protect the system from high-pressure peaks until the
control dynamics of the pressure cut-off ensure the intended maximum working
pressure. An electronic pressure cut-off must be provided for permanent highpressure limitation.
The boost pump supplies output ow (boost ow), from a reservoir, proportional
to the pump input speed via the check valve of the high-pressure relief valves to the
low-pressure side of the closed circuit. This replaces leakages of the pump and the
consumers in the closed circuit, and where applicable the ushing ows of ushing
valves. The boost pump is an internal gear pump which is driven directly via the
drive shaft.
In order to replace the leakages of the variable pump and consumers, portG must
be connected to an external source of boost pressure. The boost-pressure relief
valve is integrated.
The swivel angle sensor PAL is used for contactless detection of the swivel angle of
axial piston units using aHall effect-based sensor IC. The measured position is
converted into electric signals by the redundant swivel angle sensor.
For further information on the use of the swivel angle sensor PAL in the axial piston
unit, consult your local contact person. You can nd their contact information at
https://addresses.boschrexroth.com
For information on the swivel angle sensor PAL, e.g. type code, technical data,
dimensions and safety instructions, see the data sheet A10VG, series 60(92760)
and the data sheet PAL sensor(95161), see Table 1 "Required and supplementary
documentation" on page5.
Notice: It is not possible to retrot existing units with aswivel angle sensor.
Sequence valve
(optional)
1
The optional sequence valve (1) releases the connection between the boost pump
and control when the solenoid is energized. It interrupts the connection when the
solenoid is de-energized. In addition, the sequence valve vents the stroking
chambers to the reservoir when de-energized. This causes the springs in the
stroking chambers to move the stroking piston towards the central position
(neutral position).
The reset function is inuenced by the current working pressure and rotational
speed.
Interrupting the control pressure does not ensure that the pump moves to the
central position (neutral position).
▶ Check whether remedial measures are needed on the machine for the
application concerned in order to bring the driven consumer into asafe position
(e.g.safe stop) and ensure any measures are properly implemented.

Flushing valve
(optional)
2
The purpose of the optional ushing valve (2) is to remove heat from the hydraulic
circuit. Hydraulic uid is ushed out of the low-pressure side of the closed circuit
via the ushing spool from a pressure differential between A and B of 3 bar and
low pressure of 16 bar. It is necessary to replace both the ushing ow and the
internal leakage of the axial piston units with a boost pressure supply. The boost
pressure supply with ltered and cooled hydraulic uid lowers the circuit
temperature. The ushing ow is determined by an orice in the ushing valve.
This depends on the orice size, the pressure differential between the low pressure
and the pressure in the drain line, as well as the viscosity. A pressure retention
valve is also integrated in the ushing valve. As soon as the pressure level falls
below the set retention pressure, e.g. due to excessive ushing ow, the pressure
retention valve reduces the ushing ow and thus prevents impermissible pressure
drops, e.g. due to excessively low rotational speeds. The valve is mounted to the
port plate.
For information on the control device, see data sheet 92760.
5.3 Bypass function (optional)
For vehicles with hydrostatic travel drive, as long as there is no downstream
mechanical interruption of the drive train (switch to idle/freewheeling), the ow
can be altered using abypass circuit in order to tow the vehicle out of the
immediate danger zone. Turning the corresponding screw allows the hydraulic
uid to ow freely.
If necessary, BoschRexroth recommends always activating the bypass function
on both pressure relief valves (avoiding afunction in only one travel direction).
The bypass function must be deactivated again before restarting the machine.

resistance. Then turn the screw (1) to clockwise by another half turn.
4. Tighten the lock nut (2) clockwise to atorque of 22 Nm.
The maximum towing speed depends on the gear ratio in the vehicle and must be
calculated by the vehicle manufacturer. The corresponding ow of q
= 30 l/min
V
may not be exceeded.
CAUTION! Excessive heat generation and inadequate lubrication!
Risk of getting burnt or property damage. High towing speeds and long towing
distances lead to excessive heat generation and inadequate lubrication.
The axial piston unit heats up as a result, causing damage.
▶ Wear heat-resistant protective clothing, e.g. gloves.▶ Only tow the vehicle out of the immediate danger zone.
Only tow the vehicle out of the immediate danger zone.
Deactivating the

dimensions and circuit diagrams of standard versions)
• Installation drawing for the axial piston unit (can be obtained from your contact
person at BoschRexroth, if required)
• Hydraulic circuit diagram for the axial piston unit (in the data sheet and on the
installation drawing)
• Hydraulic circuit diagram for the machine/system (available from the machine/
system manufacturer upon request)
• Order conrmation (contains the order-related technical data for your axial
piston unit)
7.1 Unpacking
The axial piston unit comes in apolyethylene material (PE) corrosion protection lm.
CAUTION! Danger due to falling parts!
If the packaging is not opened correctly, parts may fall out and damage the parts or
even result in injury.
▶ Place the packaging on alevel underground with sufcient load-bearing capacity.▶ Only open the packaging from the top.
▶ Remove the packaging from the axial piston unit.▶ Check the axial piston unit for transport damage and completeness;
see chapter4 "Scope of delivery" on page19.
▶ Dispose of the packaging in accordance with the regulations in your country.
7.2 Installation conditions
The installation position and location of the axial piston unit essentially determine
how it is installed and commissioned (such as when lling and air bleeding the
axial piston unit).
▶ Fasten the axial piston unit so that the expected forces and torque can be
transferred without any danger. The machine/system manufacturer is responsible
for sizing the fastening elements.
▶ Observe the permissible radial forces on the drive shaft when driving with radial
loading (belt drives).
▶ Make sure the axial piston unit is always lled with hydraulic uid during
commissioning and operation. Also do this also after relatively long standstill
periods, since the axial piston unit may drain out through the hydraulic lines.
▶ Direct the leakage in the housing area to the reservoir through the highest drain
port. Use aline size that matches the port.
▶ Avoid using acheck valve in the drain line.

▶ To prevent the transmission of structure-borne noise, use elastic elements
to decouple all connecting lines from all vibration-capable components
(e.g. reservoir, frame parts).
▶ Make sure the suction, leakage, and return lines ow into the reservoir below
the minimum uid level under all operating conditions. This will prevent air from
being drawn in and foam from forming.
▶ When designing the reservoir, ensure that there is adequate distance between
the suction line and the drain line. We recommend using abafe (bafe plate)
between suction line and drain line. A bafe improves the air separation ability
as it gives the hydraulic uid more time for desorption. Apart from that, this
prevents the heated return ow from being drawn directly back into the suction
line. The suction port must be supplied with ltered, cooled, calmed and
degassed hydraulic uid over a sufcient period of time.
▶ Make sure that aminimum suction pressure of 0.8bar absolute is present
at portS (0.5bar absolute for cold start) during operation in all installation
positions and installation locations for the axial piston pump, see Fig. 7.
See data sheet for other pressure values.

2 Standard pressure gauge (relative)
The suction conditions improve with below-reservoir installation.
▶ Make sure that the working environment at the installation site is completely
free of dust and foreign substances. The axial piston unit must be clean when
installed. Contamination of the hydraulic uid can considerably affect the
function and service life of the axial piston unit.
▶ Use ber-free cleaning cloths for cleaning.▶ Use suitable, mild cleaning agents to remove lubricants and other heavy
contamination. Do not allow cleaning agents to enter into the hydraulic system.

7.4 Installing the axial piston unit
7.4.1 Preparation
1. Check the specications on the name plate to see you have the correct axial
piston unit.
2. Compare the material number and designation (type code) with the parameters
in the order conrmation.
BoschRexrothAG, RE 92760-01-B/2024-07-16
Page 35
Installation | A10VG series 60 35/64
If the material number for the axial piston unit does not match the one in
the order conrmation, contact your local contact person for clarication.
You can nd their contact information at
https://addresses.boschrexroth.com
3. Before installing, completely drain the axial piston unit to prevent mixing with
the hydraulic uid used in the machine/system.
4. Check the permissible direction of rotation of the axial piston unit
(on the name plate) and make sure that this corresponds to the direction of
rotation of the drive motor.
L
R
Fig. 8: Direction of rotation
Counter-clockwise
L
Clockwise
R
The direction of rotation as indicated on the name plate determines the
direction of rotation of the axial piston unit as viewed on the drive shaft;
see chapter5.4 "Product identication" on page24. For information on
the direction of rotation of the drive motor, please refer to the drive motor
manufacturer's operating instructions.
7.4.2 Dimensions
For standard versions, the data sheet92760 contains all required installation
dimensions as well as the position and dimensions of the ports. If necessary,
an installation drawing can be requested. Also observe the manuals provided by the
manufacturers of the other hydraulic components when selecting the required tools.
7.4.3 General instructions
Follow these general instructions when installing the axial piston unit:
• Torsional vibrations and speed variations may cause increased rotary angular
acceleration of the rotary group of the axial piston unit. At risk are diesel drives
with asmall number of cylinders and low ywheel mass and toothed belt or
V-belt drives. Belts can lose much of their pre-charge pressure after just ashort
operating time.
An automatic clamping device can lessen the speed variations and vibrations,
and thus avoid subsequential damage.
– When using drives with toothed belts or V-belts, always use an automatic
clamping device.
• On the drive of an axial piston unit, acardan shaft may cause vibrations
and excessive rotary angular acceleration. Depending on the frequency and
temperature, this may cause leaks in the shaft seal and damage the rotary group.
RE 92760-01-B/2024-07-16, BoschRexrothAG
Page 36
36/64 A10VG series 60 | Installation
• If ashared drain line is used for several units, make sure that the respective case
pressure in each unit is not exceeded. The shared drain line must be dimensioned
to ensure that the maximum permissible case pressure of all connected units is
not exceeded in any operating condition, particularly at cold start. If this is not
possible, separate drain line must be laid.
The version of installation for the axial piston unit depends on the connecting
elements to the drive side. The following descriptions explain the installation of
the axial piston unit:
• With acoupling
• On agearbox
• On acardan shaft
7.4.4 Installation with acoupling
The following describes how to install the axial piston unit with acoupling:
NOTICE! Danger from improper handling!
Product can be damaged!
▶ Do not install the coupling hub on the drive shaft of the axial piston unit by
striking it.
1. Install the specied coupling half on the drive shaft of the axial piston unit
according to the specications of the coupling manufacturer.
The drive shaft of the axial piston unit is equipped with afemale thread.
Use this female thread to pull the coupling element onto the drive shaft.
The size of the female thread can be seen in the installation drawing.
2. Make sure that the installation location is clean and free from dirt and foreign
particles.
3. Clamp the coupling hub onto the drive shaft or ensure permanent lubrication
of the drive shaft. This prevents the formation of frictional corrosion and the
associated wear.
4. Transport the axial piston unit to the installation location.
5. Install the coupling on the output shaft of the drive motor in accordance with
the specications provided by the coupling manufacturer.
Do not fasten down the axial piston unit until the coupling has been correctly
assembled.
6. Fasten the axial piston unit at the installation location.

7.4.5 Installation on agearbox
The following describes how to install the axial piston unit on agearbox.
After installing on agearbox, the axial piston unit is covered and is difcult to
access:
▶ Before installing, make sure that the spigot diameter centers the axial piston
unit (observe tolerances) and that no excessive axial or radial forces are acting
on the drive shaft of the axial piston unit (installation length).
▶ Protect the drive shaft against frictional corrosion by ensuring permanent
lubrication.
▶ Fasten the axial piston unit at the installation location.
For attachment via
gear wheel or helical
gear shaft
No spline forces higher than the permissible axial and radial forces should act on
the shaft; if necessary, support the gear wheel at the gearbox output separately.
7.4.6 Installation with cardan shaft
Bring the axial piston unit to the installation position and fasten it. Details of the
required tools and tightening torque for the xing screws can be obtained from the
machine/system manufacturer.
NOTICE! Damage to the axial piston unit and leaks at the shaft seal due to
incorrectly installed cardan shaft!
Improperly installed cardan shafts generate unbalances. This results in vibrations
and inadmissible axial and radial forces on the drive shaft.
▶ Observe the cardan shaft manufacturer's assembly instructions.
7.4.7 Completion of installation
1. Remove any installed transport screws.
CAUTION! Operation with protective plugs!
Operating the axial piston unit with protective plugs may result in injury or damage
to the axial piston unit.
▶ Before commissioning, remove all protective plugs and replace them with
suitable, pressure-resistant, metal threaded plugs or connect the appropriate
lines.
2. Remove the transport protection.
The axial piston unit comes with protective covers (1), (3) and protective
plugs (2). (1) and (2) not pressure-resistant and have to be removed prior to
connection. Use asuitabletool for this to prevent damage to the sealing and
functional surfaces. If sealing or functional surfaces are damaged, contact your
BoschRexroth service partner or the service department of the manufacturer's
plant of the axial piston unit.

7.4.8 Hydraulically connecting the axial piston unit
NOTICE
Insufcient suction pressure!
Generally, aminimum permissible suction pressure at portS is specied for axial
piston pumps in all installation positions. If the pressure at portS drops below
the specied values, damage may occur which may lead to the destruction of the
axial piston pump!
▶ Make sure the required suction pressure is maintained. This is inuenced by:
– The piping (e.g.suction cross-section, pipe diameter, length of suction line)
– The position of the reservoir
– The viscosity of the hydraulic uid
– A lter element or check valve in the suction line (check the level of
contamination of the lter element regularly)
– The geodesic height of the place of use
The machine/system manufacturer is responsible for dimensioning of the lines.
Connect the axial piston unit to the rest of the hydraulic system in accordance with
the hydraulic circuit diagram of the machine/system manufacturer.
The ports and fastening threads are designed for the p
the respective ports, see Table 8 "Hazard classes as dened in ANSI Z535.6eries
60" on page41. The machine/system manufacturer is required to ensure that the
connecting elements and lines correspond to the specied application conditions
(pressure, ow, hydraulic uid, temperature) with the necessary safety factors.
permissible pressures of
max
Information on
routing of lines
Connect only hydraulic lines that are match the axial piston unit port
(pressure level, size, system of units).
Observe the following information when routing the suction, pressure and
drain lines.
• Lines and hoses must be assembled without pre-charge pressure so no further
mechanical forces are applied during operation that will reduce the service life of
the axial piston unit and, possibly, the entire machine/system.
• Use suitable seals as sealing material.
• Suction line (pipe or hose)
– The suction line should be as short and straight as possible.
– Measure the cross-section of the suction line so that the pressure at the suction
port does not drop below the minimum permissible pressure. Make sure the
maximum suction pressure is not exceeded (e.g.when prelling).
– Make sure the connections and connecting elements are airtight.
– The hose must be pressure-resistant, also to external air pressure.
• Pressure line
– For the pressure lines, use only pipes, hoses and connecting elements rated for
the working pressure range specied in data sheet 92760 (see Table 8).
RE 92760-01-B/2024-07-16, BoschRexrothAG
Page 40
40/64 A10VG series 60 | Installation
• Drain line
– Always route the drain lines so that the housing is constantly lled with
hydraulic uid and to ensure no air gets through the shaft seal, even during
extended standstill periods.
– The case pressure must never exceed the limit values specied for the axial
piston unit in the data sheet.
– The drain line inow in the reservoir must always be below the minimum uid
level (see chapter7.3 "Installation position" on page32).
• If the axial piston unit is equipped with assembled screw ttings, do not remove
them. Screw the stud end of the tting directly into the installed tting.
Risk of confusion with
threaded connections
Axial piston units are used in application areas using the metric measuring system,
in regions using the Anglo-American (imperial) measuring system and in regions
using the Japanese measuring system (JIS – Japan Industrial Standard).
Various kinds of seals are also used.
The system of units, the kind of seal and the size of female thread and stud ends
(e.g.threaded plug) must all match.
There is arisk of confusion due to the limited ways of visually telling them apart.
WARNING! Leaky and bursting stud ends!
For ttings, if astud end that does not match the system of units, kind of seal and
size of the female thread is pressurized, the stud end may loosen itself or even be
ejected from the hole in aprojectile-like manner. This can result in serious injury
and property damage. Hydraulic uid can escape from this leakage point.
▶ Use the drawings (installation drawing) to determine the required stud end for
each tting.
▶ Make sure the right ttings, mounting bolts and threaded plugs are installed.▶ For all female threads, use astud end from the same system of units and of the
correct size.

during initial operation.
▶ During commissioning, monitor the temperature of the hydraulic uid in the
reservoir to ensure that it lies within permissible viscosity limits.
8.1.1 Filling the axial piston unit
Professional lling and air bleeding is required to prevent damage to the axial
piston unit and to maintain proper function.
RE 92760-01-B/2024-07-16, BoschRexrothAG
Page 46
46/64A10VG series 60 | Commissioning
Usually, the cleanliness level of commercial hydraulic uids is insufcient for
the requirements of our components. These hydraulic uids must be ltered
during lling using an appropriate lter system to minimize solid particle
contamination and water in the system.
Use only ahydraulic uid that corresponds to the following requirements:
You can nd details on the minimum requirements for hydraulic uids in Rexroth
data sheets 90220, 90221, 90222, and 90225. The titles of the data sheets can be
found in Table 1 "Required and supplementary documentation" on page5.

Procedure
To ensure the functional reliability of the axial piston unit, cleanliness level
20/18/15 according to at least ISO 4406 is required for the hydraulic uid.
At ahydraulic uid viscosity of less than 10 mm²/s (e.g.due to high temperatures
during short-term operation), acleanliness level of at least 19/17/14 according
to ISO 4406 is required. You can nd parameters on the permissible and optimal
viscosities and permissible temperatures in data sheet 92760.
Proceed as follows to ll the axial piston unit:
1. Place adrip tray under the axial piston unit to collect any hydraulic uid that
may leak.
NOTICE! Contaminated hydraulic uid!
The cleanliness levels of commercial hydraulic uids are usually insufcient for the
requirements of our components.
▶ Use asuitable lter system to lter hydraulic uids during lling to minimize
solid particle contamination and water in the hydraulic system.
2. Fill and air bleed the axial piston unit via the appropriate ports; see chapter7.3
"Installation position" on page32. Also ll the hydraulic lines of the system.
NOTICE! Risk of property damage due to inadequate lubrication!
Product can be damaged or destroyed!
▶ When using ashut-off valve in the suction line, make sure that the drive of the
axial piston unit can only be started when the shut-off valves are open.
▶ Dimension ashut-off valve in the suction line so that no inadmissible pressure
drop occurs in the suction area when the shut-off valve is open.
3. Make sure that the direction of rotation of the axial piston unit matches
the direction of rotation of the drive motor. The direction of rotation
of the axial piston unit is indicated on the name plate, see chapter5.4
"Product identication", Fig. 3:Name plate A10VG on page24.

Commissioning | A10VG series 60 47/64
4. Operate the axial piston pump at alow rotational speed (starter speed for
internal combustion engines and/or inching mode for electric motors) until the
hydraulic system is completely lled and air bled. To verify, drain the hydraulic
uid at the drain port until there are no bubbles in the uid.
8.1.2 Testing the hydraulic uid supply
The axial piston unit must always have asufcient supply of hydraulic uid.
For this reason, the supply of hydraulic uid must be ensured at the start of the
commissioning process.
When you test the hydraulic uid supply, constantly monitor noise development and
check the hydraulic uid level in the reservoir. If the axial piston unit becomes louder
(cavitation) or the leakage uid is discharged with bubbles, this is an indication that
the axial piston unit is not being sufciently supplied with hydraulic uid.
For information on troubleshooting, see chapter14 "Troubleshooting" on page56.
To test the hydraulic uid supply:
1. Allow the drive motor to run at the lowest rotational speed. The axial piston
unit should be operated without load. Pay attention to leaks and noises.
2. Check the axial piston unit's drain line during the test. The leakage should be
without bubbles.
3. Increase the load and check whether the working pressure rises as expected.
4. Perform aleak test to ensure the hydraulic system is sealed and can withstand
the max. pressure.
5. Check the suction pressure at portS of the axial piston pump at nominal
speed. Refer to data sheet 92760 for the permissible value.
6. Atmaximum working pressure, check the case pressure at portT
to data sheet 92760 for the permissible value.

Improperly connected axial piston unit!
Mixing up the ports will cause malfunctions (e.g.lift instead of lower) and could
endanger personnel and equipment!
▶ Before the functional test, check whether the piping specied in the hydraulic
circuit diagram has been installed.
Once you have tested the hydraulic uid supply, perform afunctional test of
the machine/system. The functional test must be performed according to the
instructions of the machine/system manufacturer.
The axial piston unit is tested for functional capability and performance before
delivery according to the technical data. During commissioning, make sure the axial
piston unit was installed in the machine/system as intended.

8.2 Running-in phase
Property damage due to insufcient viscosity!
Elevated hydraulic uid temperature may excessively reduce viscosity and damage
the product!
▶ Monitor the operating temperature during the running-in phase,
e.g.by measuring the leakage temperature.
▶ Reduce the loading (pressure, rotational speed) of the axial piston unit if
▶ Excessively high operating temperatures indicate faults that have to be
analyzed and eliminated.
and X2 with hydraulic uid is required.
1
NOTICE
The bearings and sliding surfaces are subject to arunning-in phase. The increased
friction at the start of the running-in phase results in increased heat development
which decreases with increasing operating hours. The mechanical-hydraulic
efciency is also greater until the running-in phase of about 10 operating hours is
concluded.
To ensure that contamination in the hydraulic system does not damage the axial
piston unit, BoschRexroth recommends the following procedure after the runningin phase:
▶ After the running-in phase, have ahydraulic uid sample analyzed for the
required cleanliness level.
▶ Change the hydraulic uid if the required cleanliness level is not reached.
If alaboratory test is not carried out after the running-in phase, BoschRexroth
recommends changing the hydraulic uid.
8.3 Recommissioning after standstill
Depending on the installation conditions and ambient conditions, changes may
occur in the hydraulic system which make recommissioning necessary.
The following criteria may make recommissioning necessary:
• Air and/or water in the hydraulic system
• Old hydraulic uid
• Other contamination
▶ Before recommissioning, proceed as described in chapter8.1 "Initial
commissioning" on page45.

10.3 Maintenance
The axial piston unit is low-maintenance when used as intended.
The service life of the axial piston unit is heavily dependent on the quality of the
hydraulic uid. This is why we recommend changing the hydraulic uid at least
once per year or every 2000 operating hours (whichever occurs rst), or having
it analyzed by the hydraulic uid manufacturer or alaboratory to determine its
suitability for further use.
The service life of the axial piston unit is limited to the service life of the bearings
used if the permissible operating parameters are observed. You can ask your
local contact person about service life based on load cycle. You can nd their
contact information at

14 Troubleshooting
The Table 11 is intended to support troubleshooting. This table is not exhaustive.
Issues may occur in practice that are not listed here.
Only authorized personnel may perform troubleshooting inside asafety area
designated by the machine manufacturer.
14.1 How to proceed for troubleshooting
▶ Perform troubleshooting if possible with reduced operating data
(e.g.slowly swinging in or out and slow pressure increase).
▶ Worksystematically and in a targeted manner, even when pressed for time.
Random, indiscriminate removal and changing of settings could make it
impossible to determine the original cause of the fault.
▶ First get ageneral idea of how your product functions in conjunction with the
entire system.
▶ Try to nd out whether or not the product was working properly in conjunction
with the entire system before the fault occurred.
▶ Try to determine any changes to the entire system in which the product is
installed:
– Have there been any changes to the application conditions or operating range
of the product?
– Has maintenance work recently been carried out? Is there an inspection or
maintenance log?
– Have any changes (e.g.upgrades) or repairs been made to the overall system
(machine/system, electrics, control) or to the product? If yes: What changes?
– Has the hydraulic uid been changed?
– Has the product or machine been used as intended?
– How does the malfunction appear?▶ Try to get aclear idea of the cause of the fault. Directly ask the (machine) operator.▶ Document the work carried out.▶ If the fault cannot be corrected, please refer to one of the contact addresses at:
