If a removed axial piston unit is to be stored, it must be preserved against
corrosion for the duration of storage.
The following instructions only refer to axial piston units which are operated
with a mineral-oil based hydraulic fluid. Other hydraulic fluids require
preservation methods that are specifically designed for them. In such cases,
consult with Bosch Rexroth Service, see chapter 10.5 “Spare parts” on
page
45.
Bosch Rexroth recommends the following procedure:
1.
Clean the axial piston unit, see chapter 10.1 “Cleaning and care” on page
43.
2.
Empty the axial piston unit.
3.
For storage time up to 12 months: Moisten the inside of the axial piston unit
with mineral oil and fill with approx. 100 ml mineral oil.
For storage time up to 24 months: Fill the axial piston unit with corrosion
protection medium VCI 329 (20 ml).
Filling is performed via the reservoir port
T
, see chapter 7.4 “Installing the axial
piston unit”, Fig. 10 on page
36.
4.
Seal all ports
air
proof.
5.
Moisten the unpainted surfaces of the axial piston unit with mineral oil or a
suitable, easily removed corrosion protection agent, e.g. acid-free grease.
6.
Package the axial piston unit airproof together with desiccant in corrosion
protection film.
7.
Store the axial piston unit so that it is protected against jolts, see
“Requirement” on page
23 in this chapter.
