Axial piston units

WARNING
Risk of pressurized hydraulic fluid leaking or flying components!
Danger to life or risk of injury! When selecting or using connecting elements
without sufficient high-pressure resistance, they may burst or lead to the leakage of
hydraulic fluid and/or to ejected components. The ports and fastening threads of
the axial piston unit are designed for the specified maximum pressure.
▶ Only ever connect connecting elements and lines that match the ports of
the axial piston unit and can resist the intended application conditions
(e.g. pressure level, flow, hydraulic fluid, temperature) with the necessary
safety factors.
CAUTION
High noise development during operation!
Risk of hearing damage or hearing loss!
The noise emission of axial piston units depends on rotational speed, working
pressure and installation conditions, among other factors. The sound pressure level
may rise above 70 dB (A) in certain application conditions.
▶ Always wear hearing protection near a running axial piston unit.
Hot surfaces on axial piston unit!
Risk of burning!
▶ Allow the axial piston unit to cool down sufficiently before touching it.
▶ Wear heat-resistant, protective clothing, e.g. gloves.
Improper cable and line routing!
Risk of stumbling and property damage! Improper routing of cables and lines
can cause a risk of stumbling as well as damage to equipment and components,
e.g. due to lines and connectors being torn off.
▶ Always lay cables and lines so no one can trip over them, they do not become
kinked or twisted, do not rub on edges and do not run through sharp-edged
ducts without adequate protection.
Contact with hydraulic fluid!
Risk of adverse health effects, e.g. eye injury, skin irritation, toxication from
inhalation!
▶ Avoid any contact with hydraulic fluids.
▶ When handling hydraulic fluids, the safety instructions of the lubricant
manufacturer need to be observed at all times.
▶ Use your personal protective equipment (e.g. safety goggles, safety gloves,
suitable working clothes, safety shoes).
▶ Immediately seek medical attention, however, if hydraulic fluid gets into your
eyes or blood circuit or if you swallow it accidentally.
