8.1.6 Performing flushing cycle
In order toremove foreign particles from thesystem, BoschRexroth recommends
aflushing cycle for theentire system prior toinitial commissioning. To avoid internal
contamination, do not include theaxial piston unit inthe flushing cycle.
Use anadditional flushing unit toperform theflushing cycle. Follow
theinstructions oftheflushing unit's manufacturer for theexact procedure during
theflushing cycle.
8.2 Running-in phase
NOTICE
Property damage due toinsufficient viscosity!
Elevated hydraulic fluid temperature may excessively reduce viscosity and damage
theproduct!
▶ Monitor the operating temperature during the running-in phase,
e.g.bymeasuring the case leakage temperature.
▶ Reduce theloading (pressure, rotational speed) oftheaxial piston unit
ifunacceptable operating temperatures and/or viscosities occur.
▶ Excessively high operating temperatures indicate faults that have tobe analyzed
and eliminated.
The bearings and sliding surfaces are subject toarunning-in phase. The increased
friction atthestart oftherunning-in phase results inincreased heat development
which decreases over time. Volumetric and mechanical-hydraulic efficiency isalso
greater until therunning-in phase ofabout 10operating hours isconcluded.
To ensure contamination in the hydraulic system does not damage the axial piston
unit, the following procedure is recommended after the running-in phase:
▶ After therunning-in phase, have ahydraulic fluid sample analyzed for therequired
cleanliness level.
▶ Change thehydraulic fluid iftherequired cleanliness level isnot reached. If
alaboratory test is not carried out after the running-in phase, it is recommended
to change the hydraulic fluid.
