42/72 Installation
BoschRexrothAG, axial piston variable pump A4VSO, RE 92050-01-X-B1/2019.08.23
Connect only hydraulic lines that are match theaxial piston unit port
(pressurelevel, size, system ofunits).
Observe the following notes when routing the suction, pressure and drain lines.
• Lines and hoses must be installed without pre-charge pressure, so that no further
mechanical forces are applied during operation that will reduce the service life of
the axial piston unit and, if applicable, the entire machine/system.
• Use suitable seals assealing material.
• Suction line (pipe orhose)
–The suction line should beasshort and straight aspossible.
–Measure theline cross-section ofthesuction line sothepressure atthesuction
port does not drop below theminimum permissible pressure. Make sure
themaximumsuction pressure isnot exceeded (e.g. when prefilling).
–Make sure theconnections and connecting elements are airtight.
–The hose must bepressure-resistant, also toexternal air pressure.
• Pressure line
–For the pressure lines, use only pipes, hoses and connecting elements rated for
the working pressure range specified on the data sheet (Part II); see Table 15.
• Drain line
–Always route the drain lines so that the case is constantly filled with
hydraulicfluid and to ensure that no air gets through the shaft seal even during
extended standstill periods.
–Under no operating circumstances may the case pressure exceed the maximum
values specified for the axial piston unit in the data sheet (Part II).
–The drain line inflow in the reservoir must always be below the minimum fluid
level under all conditions (see chapter 7.3 "Installation position" on page 32).
• If theaxial piston unit isequipped with installed screw fittings, do not remove
them. Screw thestud end ofthefitting directly into theinstalled fitting.
Axial piston units are used inapplication areas that use themetric system aswell
astheAnglo-American (imperial) and theJapanese measuring system
(JIS–JapanIndustrial Standard). Various kinds ofseals are also used.
The system ofunits, thekind ofseal and thesize offemale thread and stud ends
(e.g. threaded plug) must all match.
There isarisk ofconfusion due tothe limited ways ofvisually telling them apart.
WARNING! Leaky andbursting stud ends!
If a stud end with a measurement system, seal type and size that are different from
the female thread is pressurized, the threaded plug may loosen itself or even be
propelled out of the hole. This can result inserious injury and property damage.
Hydraulic fluid can escape from this leakage point.
