Troubleshooting

Bosch Rexroth AG, RE 90300-B/2021-01-19

14 Troubleshooting

Table 9 and Table 10 may help you when troubleshooting. The tables make no 
claim for completeness.
Specific notes on troubleshooting on your axial piston unit can be found in the 
product-specific instruction manual.
Issues may occur in practice that are not listed here.
Only authorized personnel may perform troubleshooting inside a safety area 
designated by the machine manufacturer.

14.1 How to proceed for troubleshooting

 

▶ Perform troubleshooting if possible with reduced operating data 

(e.g. slowly swinging in or out and slow pressure increase).

 

▶ Use a systematic and targeted approach, even when pressed for time. Random, 

indiscriminate disassembling and changing of settings could make it impossible 
to determine the original cause of the fault.

 

▶ First get a general idea of how your product works in conjunction with the entire 

system.

 

▶ Try to find out whether or not the product was working properly in conjunction 

with the entire system before the fault occurred.

 

▶ Try to determine any changes to the entire system in which the product is 

installed:

 

– Have there been any changes to the application conditions or operating range 

of the product?

 

– Has maintenance work recently been carried out? Is there an inspection or 

maintenance log?

 

– Have any changes (e.g. upgrades) or repairs been made to the overall system 

(machine/system, electrics, control) or to the product? If yes: What changes?

 

– Has the hydraulic fluid been changed?

 

– Has the product or machine been used as intended?

 

– How does the malfunction appear?

 

▶ Try to get a clear idea of the cause of the fault. Directly ask the (machine) 

operator.

 

▶ Document the work carried out.

 

▶ If the fault cannot be corrected, please refer to one of the contract addresses at:
