6.2 Storing the axial piston unit
• Storage areas should befree ofcorrosive materials and gases.
• To prevent damage tothe seals, do not operate ozone-forming equipment
(e.g.mercury-vapor lamps, high-voltage equipment, electric motors, sources
ofelectrical sparks orelectrical discharge) instorage areas.
• Storage areas should bedry.
Recommended relative humidity ≤60%.
• Ideal bearing temperature: +5°C to+20°C.
• Minimum storage temperature: −50 °C.
• Maximum storage temperature: +60°C.
• Keep out ofdirect sunlight.
• Do not stack axial piston units and store them inashock-proof manner.
• Do not store the axial piston unit onthe drive shaft orassembled parts,
e.g.sensors orvalves.
• For further storage conditions, see Table 8.
▶ Check the axial piston unit monthly toensure proper storage.
The axial piston units come incorrosion protection packaging
(corrosionprotectionfilm).
Table 8 lists the max. permissible storage times for anunpackaged axial piston unit
asper datasheet 90312.

(optional)
Closed, dr

corrosion protection film.
Max. 12 months Max. 24months
The warranty will bevoided iftherequirements and storage conditions are not
observed orafter expiration ofthemax. storage time (see Table 8).
What todo once the max. storage time elapses:
1. Check the entire axial piston unit for damage and corrosion prior toinstallation.
2. Perform atest run tocheck the axial piston unit for proper function and leaks.
3. If storage time exceeds 24months, replace the shaft seal.
Once the max. storage time has elapsed, we recommend that you have the axial
piston unit inspected byyour BoschRexroth service partner.
For questions regarding repair and spare parts, contact your proper BoschRexroth
service partner ortheservice department oftheplant that manufactured the axial
piston unit, seechapter 10.5 "Spare parts" onpage49.
