Task to be performed
Interval
Axial piston unit
Check axial piston unit for leakage.
Early detection of hydraulic fluid loss can help to find
faults on the machine/system and to rectify them. For this
reason, Bosch Rexroth recommends that the axial piston
unit and system are always kept in a clean condition.
Daily
Check axial piston unit for unusual noise development.
Daily
Check fasteners for firm seating.
All fasteners have to be checked when the hydraulic
system is switched off, depressurized and cooled down.
Monthly
10.3 Maintenance
The axial piston unit is low-maintenance when used properly.
The service life of the axial piston unit is heavily dependent on the quality of the
hydraulic fluid. For this reason, we recommend changing the hydraulic fluid at least
once per year or every 2,000 operating hours (whichever occurs first) or having
it analyzed by the hydraulic fluid manufacturer or a laboratory to determine its
suitability for further use.
The service life of the axial piston unit is limited by the service life of the bearings
used. The service life on the basis of the load cycle can be requested from the
proper Bosch Rexroth service partner, see Chapter 10.5 “Spare parts” on page 46
for an address. Based on these details, a maintenance intervall is to be determined
by the system manufacturer for the replacement of the bearings and included in the
maintenance schedule of the hydraulic system.
