BoschRexrothAG, axial piston variable pump A4VSO, RE 92050-01-X-B1/2019.08.23
Table 18: Axial piston unit malfunction table
Malfunction Possible cause Remedy
Pressure/flow fluctuations/
instabilities
Insufficient air bleeding ofthehydraulic system Axial piston unit, suction line for the
hydraulicpump and filling the reservoir
Completely air bleed theaxial piston unit and
hydraulic system
Check correct installation position
Insufficient suction conditions, e.g., insufficient
dimensioning of the suction line, viscosity of
the hydraulic fluid too high, suction height too
high, suction pressure too low, foreign particles
in the suction line, suction filter too small or
blocked, etc.
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
Check the filter system and change the filter
asnecessary
Oscillate pressure limitation and pressure
control valves of the axial piston unit
(boost-pressure relief valve, high-pressure
reliefvalve, pressure cut-off)
Air bleed the axial piston unit and
hydraulicsystem
Contact BoschRexrothservice
Unstable control signal Contact machine/system manufacturer or
BoschRexrothservice
Malfunction inthe control devices
orthecontroller
Contact BoschRexrothservice
Excessively high temperature
ofhydraulic fluid and housing
Excessively high inlet temperature attheaxial
piston unit
Machine/system manufacturer: Inspect system,
e.g. malfunction inthe cooler, insufficient
hydraulic fluid inthe reservoir
Wrong setting or malfunction of the
pressure relief and pressure control valves
(e.g.high-pressure relief valve, pressure cut-off,
pressure controller)
Optimize the adjustment of the pressure
relief and pressure control valves of the
axialpistonunit and the pressure limitation in
the hydraulicsystem
