7.4.6 Installation with cardan shaft
The following describes how toconnect the axial piston unit tothe drive motor with
acardan shaft.
NOTICE! Damage tothe axial piston unit and leaks attheshaft seal!
Improperly installed cardan shafts generate unbalances. This results invibrations
and excessive forces onthe 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 tofit through onboth sides.
2. Place the cardan shaft onthe output shaft ofthedrive motor.
3. Push the axial piston unit tothe cardan shaft and place the cardan shaft onthe
drive shaft oftheaxial piston unit.
4. Bring the axial piston unit tothe installation position and fasten it. Details
oftherequired tools and tightening torque for the mounting bolts can
beobtained 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 ininjury ordamage
tothe axial piston unit.
▶ Before commissioning, remove all protective plugs and replace them with
suitable, pressure-resistant, metal threaded plugs orconnect 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 toberemoved prior toconnection. Use
asuitable tool for this toprevent damage tothe sealing and functional surfaces.
Ifsealing orfunctional surfaces are damaged, contact your BoschRexroth service
partner ortheservice department ofthefactory that manufactured the axial
piston unit.
