7.4.6 Installation with cardan shaft
The following describes how to connect the axial piston unit to the drive motor with
a cardan shaft.
NOTICE!
Damage to the axial piston unit and leaks at the shaft seal!
Improperly installed cardan shafts generate unbalances. This results in vibrations
and excessive forces on the drive shaft.
▶
Observe the cardan shaft manufacturer's assembly instructions.
1.
Place the axial piston unit near the intended installation location. Allow enough
space for the cardan shaft to fit through on both sides.
2.
Place the cardan shaft on the output shaft of the drive motor.
3.
Push the axial piston unit to the cardan shaft and place the cardan shaft on the
drive shaft of the axial piston unit.
4.
Bring the axial piston unit to the installation position and fasten it. Details
of the required tools and tightening torque for the mounting bolts can
be obtained from the system manufacturer.
7.4.7 Completion of assembly
1.
Remove any installed transport screws.
CAUTION!
Operation with protective plugs!
Operating the axial piston unit with protective plugs may result in injury or damage
to the axial piston unit.
▶
Before commissioning, remove all protective plugs and replace them with
suitable, pressure-resistant, metal threaded plugs or connect the appropriate
lines.
2.
Remove the transport protection.
The axial piston unit comes with protective covers (
1
) and threaded plugs (
2
).
They are not pressure-resistant and have to be removed prior to connection. Use
a suitable tool for this to prevent damage to the sealing and functional surfaces.
If sealing or functional surfaces are damaged, contact your Bosch Rexroth service
partner or the service department of the factory that manufactured the axial
piston unit.
