Use of the axial piston unit 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 cannot 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. Short-term pressure peaks (
t
< 0.1 s) of up to
10 bar are permitted. Beyond this, the maximum case pressure specified on the
data sheet cannot 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 aircraft or spacecraft
