Table 21: Axial piston unit malfunction table
Malfunction Possible cause Remedy
No orinsufficient pressure Insufficient air bleeding ofthehydraulic system Fill theaxial piston unit, suction line for
thehydraulic pump and thereservoir
Completely air bleed theaxial piston unit and
hydraulic system
Check correct installation position
Faulty mechanical drive (e.g. defective coupling) Contact machine/system manufacturer
Drive power too low Contact machine/system manufacturer
Insufficient suction conditions, e.g. insufficient
dimensioning ofthesuction line, viscosity
ofthehydraulic fluid too high, suction height
too high, suction pressure too low, foreign
particles inthe suction line, impermissible filter
inthe suction line
Machine/system manufacturer: Check
thesystem, e.g. optimize inlet conditions,
usesuitable hydraulic fluid
Fill thesuction line with hydraulic fluid
Remove foreign particles from thesuction line
Hydraulic fluid not inoptimal viscosity range Machine/system manufacturer:
Check temperature range and use suitable
hydr
aulic fluid
Insufficient pilot pressure orcontrol pressure Check pilot pressure orcontrol pressure
Contact BoschRexroth Service
Malfunction ofthecontrol device orcontroller
oftheaxial piston unit
Contact BoschRexroth Service
Control ofthecontrol device defective Check control (contact machine/system
manufacturer orBoschRexroth Service)
Wear ormechanical damage tothe axial piston
unit
Replace axial piston unit
Contact BoschRexroth Service
Output unit defective (e.g. hydraulic motor
orcylinder)
Contact machine/system manufacturer
Pressure/flow fluctuations/
instabilities
Insufficient air bleeding ofthehydraulic system Fill theaxial piston unit, suction line for
thehydraulic pump and thereservoir
Completely air bleed theaxial piston unit and
hydraulic system
Check correct installation position
Insufficient suction conditions, e.g. insufficient

Fill thesuction line with hydraulic fluid
Remove foreign particles from thesuction line
Valve and controller vibrate Optimize theadjustment ofthecontroller
oftheaxial piston unit and thepressure
limitation inthe hydraulic system
