Bosch Rexroth AG, A15VSO/A15VLO Series 11, RE 92801-01-B/11.2018
7 Installation
Prior toinstallation, the following documents should betohand:
• Installation drawing for the axial piston unit (can beobtained from your contact
person atBoschRexroth)
• Hydraulic circuit diagram for the axial piston unit (in the installation drawing)
• Hydraulic circuit diagram for the machine/system (available from the machine/
system manufacturer)
• Order confirmation (contains the order-related technical data for your axial
pistonunit)
• Datasheet for the axial piston unit (contains the permissible technical data)
7.1 Unpacking
The axial piston unit comes inapolyethylene material (PE) corrosion protection film.
CAUTION! Danger due tofalling parts!
If the packaging isnot opened correctly, parts may fall out and damage the parts
oreven result ininjury.
▶ Place the packaging ona level surface with sufficient 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; seechapter4
"Scope ofdelivery" onpage17.
▶ Dispose ofthepackaging inaccordance with the regulations inyour country.
7.2 Installation conditions
The installation position and location oftheaxial piston unit essentially determine
how itisinstalled and commissioned (such aswhen filling and air bleeding the axial
piston unit).
▶ Install the axial piston unit sothat the expected forces and torque can
betransferred without any danger. The machine/system manufacturer
isresponsible for sizing the fasteners.
▶ Observe the permissible radial forces onthe drive shaft when driving with radial
loading (belt drives). If necessary, store the belt pulley separately.
▶ Make sure the axial piston unit isalways filled with hydraulic fluid 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 inthe housing area tothe reservoir through the highest drain
port. Use aline size that matches the port.
▶ A check valve inthe drain line isonly permissible ona case-by-case
basis following consultation. Please consult your proper contact person
atBoschRexroth.
▶ To keep noise values low, use elastic elements toisolate all connecting lines from
all vibration-capable components (e.g.reservoir).
▶ Make sure the suction, drain, and return lines flow into the reservoir below the
minimum fluid level under all operating conditions. This will prevent air from
being drawn inand foam from forming.
