Installation

Bosch Rexroth Corporation

, A21VG Series 10, RE 93223-01-B/09.2020

 

The case drain fluid in the housing must be directed to the reservoir via the 
highest case drain port. Use the line size which is appropriate for the port.

 

Avoid using a check valve in the reservoir line.

 

To achieve favorable noise values, decouple all connecting lines from all 
vibration-capable components (e.g. reservoir) using elastic elements.

 

Make sure that the suction, reservoir and return lines lead into the reservoir 
below the minimum fluid level in all operating conditions. This will prevent air 
from being drawn in and foam from being formed.

The suction conditions improve with below-reservoir installation.

 

Make sure that the working environment at the installation site is fully free of 
dust and foreign substances. The axial piston unit must be installed in a clean 
condition. Dirt contamination in the hydraulic fluid can seriously impair the 
function and service life of the axial piston unit.

 

Use lint-free cloths for cleaning.

 

Use suitable mild detergents to remove lubricants and other difficult-to-remove 
contamination. Cleaning agents must not enter the hydraulic system.
