An uninstalled axial piston unit must be preserved with corrosion protection for the
duration of storage.
The following instructions only refer to axial piston units operated with a mineral
oil-based hydraulic fluid. Other hydraulic fluids require preservation measures
specifically designed for them. If using another hydraulic fluid, consult your local
contact person. You can find their contact information under
www.boschrexroth.com/addresses
Bosch Rexroth recommends the following procedure:
1.
Clean the axial piston unit; see chapter 10.1 “Cleaning and care” on page 44.
2.
Drain the axial piston unit.
3.
For storage periods up to 12 months: Coat the inside of the axial piston unit with
mineral oil and fill with about 100 mL of mineral oil.
For storage periods up to 24 months: Fill the axial piston unit with VCI 329
corrosion protection (20 mL).
Fill through the drain port T
1
or T
2
; see chapter 7.4 “Installing the axial piston
unit”, Fig. 12 to Fig. 14 on page 35.
4.
Plug all ports so they are airtight.
5.
Coat unpainted areas of the axial piston unit with mineral oil or suitable, easily
removable corrosion protection, e.g. acid-free grease.
6.
Package the axial piston unit with desiccant in corrosion protection film so it is
airtight.
7.
Store the axial piston unit in a shock-proof manner; see “Requirements” on page
22 in this chapter.
