7.4.6 Installation with cardan shaft
The following describes how to connect the axial piston unit to the drive motor with
a cardan shaft.
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 excessive forces on the drive shaft.
▶ Observe the cardan shaft manufacturer's assembly instructions.
1. Place the axial piston unit near the intended installation location. Allow enough
space for the cardan shaft to fit through on both sides.
2. Place the cardan shaft on the output shaft of the drive motor.
3. Push the axial piston unit to the cardan shaft and place the cardan shaft on the
drive shaft of the axial piston unit.
4. Bring the axial piston unit to the installation position and fasten it. Details of the
required tools and tightening torque for the mounting bolts can be obtained from
the system manufacturer.
7.4.7 Completion of assembly
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) and threaded plugs (2).
They are not pressure-resistant and have to be removed prior to connection.
Usea suitable tool for this to prevent damage to the sealing and functional
surfaces. If sealing or functional surfaces are damaged, contact your
BoschRexroth service partner or the service department of the plant that
manufactured the axial piston unit.
