7.4.9 Hydraulically connecting the axial piston unit
NOTICE
Insufficient suction pressure!
Generally, a minimum permissible suction pressure at port “
S
” is specified for axial
piston pumps in all installation positions. If the pressure at port
S
drops below the
specified values, damage may occur which may lead to the axial piston pump being
damaged beyond repair!
▶
Make sure that the necessary suction pressure is not undercut. This is influenced by:
– the piping (e.g. suction cross-section, pipe diameter, length of suction line)
– the position of the reservoir
– the viscosity of the hydraulic fluid
– a filter element or check valve in the suction line, if these are fitted (regularly
check the level of soiling of the filter cartridge)
The machine/system manufacturer is responsible for dimensioning the lines.
The axial piston unit must be connected to the rest of the hydraulic system in
accordance with the hydraulic circuit diagram of the machine/system manufacturer.
The ports and fastening threads are designed for the maximum permissible
pressures
p
max
, see Table 10: Ports A10VGT Series 11. The machine/system
manufacturer must ensure that the connecting elements and lines correspond to the
specified application conditions (pressure, flow, hydraulic fluid, temperature) with
the necessary safety factors.
Connect only hydraulic lines that are appropriate for the axial piston unit port
(pressure level, size, system of units).
Observe the following notes when routing the suction, pressure, and drain lines.
•
Lines and hoses must be installed without pre-charge pressure, so that no further
mechanical forces are applied during operation that will reduce the service life of
the axial piston unit and, if applicable, the entire machine/system.
•
Use suitable seals as sealing material.
•
Suction line (pipe or hose)
– The suction line should be as short and straight as possible.
– Measure the line cross section of the suction line so that the pressure at the
suction port does not drop below the minimum permissible pressure. Make sure
that the maximum suction pressure is not exceeded (e.g. when pre-filling).
– Make sure the connections and connecting elements are airtight.
– The hose must be pressure-resistant, also for external air pressure.
•
Pressure line
– For the pressure lines, use only pipes, hoses and connecting elements rated for
the working pressure range specified in data sheet 92770 (see Table 10).
•
Drain line
– Always route the drain lines so that the housing is constantly filled with hydraulic
fluid and to ensure that no air gets through the shaft seal even during extended
standstill periods.
