6.2 Storing the radial piston motor
•
The storage areas must be free from corrosive materials and gases.
•
To prevent damage to the seals, ozone-forming equipment (e.g. mercury-vapor
lamps, high voltage equipment, electric motors, sources of electrical sparks or
electrical discharges) must not be operated in storage areas.
•
Relative humidity of storage area: 0...95 %.
•
Ideal storage temperature: +5 °C to +40 °C.
•
Minimum storage temperature: -30 °C (short duration only).
•
Maximum storage temperature: +60 °C (short duration only).
•
Protect from rain, snow and direct sunlight.
•
Do not stack radial piston motors.
•
Do not store radial piston motor on the drive shaft
or fitting, e.g. sensor or valve
.
▶
Check the radial piston motor monthly to ensure proper storage.
The radial piston motors are provided ex-works with corrosion protection packaging.
The radial piston motor can be stored for a maximum of 2 years after which it should
be returned to Bosch Rexroth RM Service Department at Glenrothes for inspection,
seal replacement and functional test
The maximum cumulative storage time (from original manufacture date) for a radial
piston motor is 6 years after which it should be scrapped.
Entitlement to warranty will be rendered void if storage conditions and inspection
measures are not complied with.
If a removed radial piston motor is to be stored, it must be preserved against
corrosion for the duration of storage.
The following instructions only refer to radial piston motors which are operated
with a mineral-oil based hydraulic fluid. Other hydraulic fluids require
preservation methods that are specifically designed for them. In such cases,
consult with Bosch Rexroth Service, see chapter 10.5 "Spare parts" on
page 47.
Bosch Rexroth recommends the following procedure:
1.
Clean the radial piston motor, see chapter 10.1 "Cleaning and care" on page 45.
2.
Drain the radial piston motor.
3.
Ensure the inside of the radial piston motor remains coated with a thin film of
mineral oil.
4.
Seal all ports in an airtight manner.
5.
Coat the unpainted surfaces of the radial piston motor with mineral oil or a
suitable, easily removed corrosion protection agent, e.g. acid-free grease.
6.
Package the radial piston motor in an airtight, corrosion protective film with an
enclosed desiccant.
7.
Store the radial piston motor so that it is protected against jolts.
