6.2 Storing the axial piston unit
•
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.
•
The storage areas must be dry.
•
Ideal storage temperature: +5 °C to +20 °C.
•
Minimum storage temperature: –50 °C (exception: units with on-board-
electronics).
•
Maximum storage temperature: +60 °C.
•
Avoid high light irradiation (e.g. bright windows or direct fluorescent lighting).
•
Do not stack axial piston units and store them shock-proof.
•
Do not store the axial piston unit on the drive shaft or fitting, e.g. sensors or
valves.
•
For further storage conditions, see Table 7.
▶
Check the axial piston unit monthly to ensure proper storage.
The axial piston units are provided ex-works with corrosion protection packaging
(corrosion protection film).
Table 7 lists the maximum permissible storage times for an originally packed axial
piston unit as per data sheet 90312.

Entitlement to warranty will be rendered void if the requirements and storage
conditions are not adhered to or after expiration of the maximum storage time
(see Table 7).
Procedure after expiry of the maximum storage time:
1.
Check the entire axial piston unit for damage and corrosion prior to installation.
2.
Check the axial piston unit for proper function and leaks during a test run.
3.
If the storage time exceeds 24 months, the shaft seal ring must be replaced.
After expiry of the maximum storage time, we recommend that you have the
axial piston unit inspected by your responsible Bosch Rexroth Service partner.
In the event of questions regarding repair and spare parts, contact your
responsible Bosch Rexroth Service partner or the service department of the
manufacture’s plant for the axial piston unit, see chapter 10.5 “Spare parts” on
page 45.
