Table 13: Axial piston unit malfunction table

Fault

Possible cause

Remedy

No or insufficient flow

Insufficient air bleeding of the hydraulic system

Fill axial piston unit, suction line for the 
hydraulic pump and the reservoir
Completely air bleed axial piston unit and 
hydraulic system

Faulty mechanical drive (e.g. defective coupling) Contact machine/system manufacturer

Drive speed too low

Contact machine/system manufacturer

Insufficient suction conditions, e.g. insufficient 
dimensioning of the suction line, viscosity of 
the hydraulic fluid too high, suction height too 
high, suction pressure too low, contaminants in 
the suction line, suction filter too small, etc.

Machine/system manufacturer: Check the 
system, e.g. optimize inlet conditions, use 
suitable hydraulic fluid
Fill the suction line with hydraulic fluid

Remove foreign particles from the suction line

Check the filter system and change the filter  
as necessary

Hydraulic fluid not in optimum viscosity range

Machine/system manufacturer: 
check temperature range and use suitable 
hydraulic fluid

Insufficient boost pressure

Check boost pressure

Contact Bosch Rexroth Service

Insufficient pilot pressure or control pressure

Check pilot pressure or control pressure

Contact Bosch Rexroth Service

Malfunction of the control device or controller 
of the axial piston unit

Contact Bosch Rexroth Service

Control of the control device defective

Check control (contact machine/system 
manufacturer or Bosch Rexroth Service)

Wear or mechanical damage to the axial  
piston unit

Replace axial piston unit
