•
Use of the axial piston unit with assembled parts under water at a depth of
more than 10 meters without the necessary additional measures, e.g., pressure
equalization. Units with electrical components (e.g., sensors) generally are not
allowed to come into contact with water.
•
Use of the axial piston unit under a continuous pressure differential between case
to ambient pressure greater than 2 bar, whereby the ambient pressure must always
be lower than the case pressure. Momentary (
t
< 0.1 s) pressure peaks of up to
10 bar are allowed. Beyond this, the maximum case pressure specified on the data
sheet must not be exceeded.
•
Use of the axial piston unit in explosive environments unless the component or
machine/system has been certified as compliant with the ATEX directive 94/9/EC
•
Use of the axial piston unit in a corrosive atmosphere
•
Use of the axial piston unit in aircrafts or spacecrafts
