Environmental factors
• Our products are resistant to many media that are commonly found in
manufacturing, such as water, mineral oil, grease and detergents. Contact your
Rexroth representative if you have any doubts about resistance to specific
chemicals, such as test oil, doped oils, aggressive cleaning agents, solvents or
brake fluid.
• Avoid prolonged contact with highly reactive acidic or alkaline materials.
• Contamination can greatly increase wear – specifically from abrasive media from
the surrounding area, such as sand and silicates, e.g. from construction as well
as machining processes in the transfer system (e.g. welding beads, pumice dust,
glass shards, chips, waste parts, etc.). Maintenance intervals should be
significantly shortened under these circumstances.
• Resistance to media and contamination does not mean that functional safety is
guaranteed in every case.
– Liquids that thicken as they evaporate and become highly viscous or adhesive
(sticky) can lead to malfunctions.
– If they get carried onto systems with rollers, media which have a lubricating
effect can lead to a reduction in the drive power that is transmitted via friction.
In such instances, special care must be taken when planning the system,
and the maintenance intervals must be correspondingly shortened.
