Note

The values in the table are theoretical values, without consideration of efficiencies and tolerances. The values are rounded. Exceeding the maximum or falling below the minimum permissible values can lead to a loss of function, a reduction in operational service life or total destruction of the axial piston unit. Other permissible limit values, such as speed variation, reduced angular acceleration as a function of the frequency and the permissible angular acceleration at start (lower than the maximum angular acceleration) can be found in data sheet 90261.

Speed range

No limit to minimum speed nmin. If uniformity of motion is required, speed nmin must not be less than 50 rpm.

Hydraulic fluids

The axial piston unit is designed for operation with mineral oil HLP according to DIN 51524.

Application instructions and requirements for hydraulic fluids should be taken from the following data sheets before the start of project planning:

90220: Hydraulic fluids based on mineral oils and related hydrocarbons 90221: Environmentally acceptable hydraulic fluids 90222: Fire-resistant, water-free hydraulic fluids (HFDR, HFDU) 90223: Fire-resistan, water-containing hydraulic fluids (HFAE, HFAS, HFB, HFC) 90225: Restricted technical data for operation with fire-resistant hydraulic fluids

Note

To reduce high temperature of the hydraulic fluid in the axial piston unit we recommend the use of a flushing and boost pressure valve (see chapter Extended functions and versions).

Selection of hydraulic fluid

Bosch Rexroth evaluates hydraulic fluids on the basis of the Fluid Rating according to the technical data sheet 90235.

Hydraulic fluids with positive evaluation in the Fluid Rating are provided in the following technical data sheet:

90245: Bosch Rexroth Fluid Rating List for Rexroth hydraulic components (pumps and motors)

The hydraulic fluid should be selected so that the operating viscosity in the operating temperature range is within the optimum range (νopt; see selection diagram).

Selection diagram

Filtration of the hydraulic fluid

Finer filtration improves the cleanliness level of the hydraulic fluid, which increases the service life of the axial piston unit.

A cleanliness level of at least 20/18/15 is to be maintained according to ISO 4406.

At a hydraulic fluid viscosity of less than 10 mm²/s (e.g. due to high temperatures in short-term operation) at the drain port, a cleanliness level of at least 19/17/14 according to ISO 4406 is required.

For example, the viscosity is 10 mm²/s at:

HLP 32 a temperature of 73°C HLP 46 a temperature of 85°C

Operating pressure range

Pressure at working port A or B (high-pressure side)			Definition
Nominal pressure	pnom	see table of values	The nominal pressure corresponds to the maximum design pressure.
Maximum pressure	pmax	see table of values	The maximum pressure corresponds to the maximum operating pressure within the single operating period. The sum of the single operating periods must not exceed the total operating period.
Single operating period		10 s
Total operating period		300 h
Minimum pressure	pHP min	25 bar	Minimum pressure on high-pressure side (port A or B) required to prevent damage to the axial piston unit.
Minimum pressure at inlet (pump operating mode)	pE min	see diagram	To prevent damage to the axial piston motor in pump mode (change of high-pressure side with unchanged direction of rotation, e.g. when braking),a minimum pressure must be guaranteed at the working port (inlet). The minimum pressure depends on the rotational speed and displacement of the axial piston unit.
Total pressure	pSu	700 bar	The summation pressure is the sum of the pressures at both work ports (A and B).
Rate of pressure change			Definition
with integrated pressure relief valve	RA max	9000 bar/s	Maximum permissible rate of pressure build-up and reduction during a pressure change over the entire pressure range.
without pressure relief valve	RA max	16000 bar/s

Pressure peaks	pT peak	10 bar	t < 0.1 s

Note

Working pressure range valid when using hydraulic fluids based on mineral oils. Values for other hydraulic fluids, please contact us.

Minimum pressure at inlet (pump operating mode)

This diagram is only valid for the optimum viscosity range of vopt = 16 to 36 mm2/sec..

If the above mentioned conditions cannot be ensured, please contact us.

Pressure definition

Rate of pressure change

Maximum differential pressure at the shaft seal

Note

The service life of the shaft seal is influenced by the speed of the axial piston unit and the case pressure. The service life decreases with an increase of the mean differential pressure between the case and the ambient pressure and with a higher frequency of pressure spikes. The case pressure must be equal to or higher than the ambient pressure.

General instructions

The values given are maximum values and do not apply to continuous operation. The axial force in direction −Fax is to be avoided as the service life of the bearing is reduced. Special requirements apply in the case of belt drives. Please contact us.

Notes for sizes 250 ... 355:

In case of radial forces limited performance data is valid. Please contact us. In case of axial forces during operation of the unit please contact us.

Effect of radial force Fq on the service life of bearings

By selecting a suitable direction of radial force Fq the load on the bearings caused by the internal rotary group forces can be reduced, thus optimizing the service life of the bearings. Recommended position of mating gear is dependent on direction of rotation. Examples:

Toothed gear drive, size 28 … 180

Flushing and boost pressure valve

The flushing and boost pressure valve is used in closed circuits for the removal of heat and to ensure a minimum boost pressure level.

Hydraulic fluid is directed from the respective low pressure side into the motor housing. This is then fed into the reservoir, together with the leakage. The removed hydraulic fluid must be replaced by cooled hydraulic fluid from the boost pump.

Pressure relief valve

The MHDB pressure relief valves protect the hydraulic motor from overload. As soon as the set cracking pressure is reached, the hydraulic fluid flows from the high-pressure side to the low-pressure side.

The pressure relief valves are only available in conjunction with connection plates 181, 191 or 192. (Connection plate 181: see section “BVD and BVE counterbalance valve”

Setting range of cracking pressure: 50 up to 420 bar

For versions “with pressure sequencing stage” (code 192), a higher pressure setting can be implemented by connecting an external pilot pressure of 25 up to 30 bar at port pSt.

When ordering, state in plain text:

Counterbalance valve BVD and BVE

Function

Travel drive/winch counterbalance valves are designed to reduce the danger of overspeeding and cavitation of axial piston motors in open circuits. Cavitation occurs if the motor speed is greater than it should be for the given input flow while braking, travelling downhill, or lowering a load.

If the inlet pressure drops, the counterbalance spool throttles the return flow and brakes the motor until the inlet pressure returns to approx. 20 bar.

Note

BVD available for sizes 28 to 180 and BVE available for sizes 107 to 180. The counterbalance valve must be ordered additionally. We recommend ordering the counterbalance valve and the motor as a set. Ordering example: A2FM(E)90/61W–VAB188 + BVD20F27S/41B–V03K16D0400S12 The counterbalance valve does not replace the mechanical service brake and park brake. Observe the detailed notes on the BVD counterbalance valve in data sheet 95522 and BVE counterbalance valve in data sheet 95525! For the design of the brake release valve, we must know for the mechanical park brake: the pressure at the start of opening the volume of the counterbalance spool between minimum stroke (brake closed) and maximum stroke (brake released with 21 bar) the required closing time for a warm device (oil viscosity approx. 16 mm2/s)

Installation instructions

General

During commissioning and operation, the axial piston unit must be filled with hydraulic fluid and air bled. This must also be observed following a relatively long standstill as the axial piston unit may drain back to the reservoir via the hydraulic lines. The case drain fluid in the housing must be directed to the reservoir via the highest available drain port (T1,T2). If a shared drain line is used for several units, make sure that the respective case pressure is not exceeded. The shared drain line must be dimensioned to ensure that the maximum permissible case pressure of all connected units is not exceeded in any operating conditions, specifically on cold start. If this is not possible, separate reservoir lines must be laid as required. To achieve favorable noise values, all connecting lines should be decoupled by using elastic elements and above-reservoir installation is to be avoided. In all operating conditions, the drain line must flow into the reservoir below the minimum fluid level.

Installation position

See the following examples 1 to 6.

Further installation positions are possible upon request. Recommended installation position: 1 and 2.

Below-tank installation (standard)

Below-tank installation is at hand if the axial piston unit is installed below the minimum liquid level outside the tank.

1)	Standard for sizes 250 and 355, special version for sizes 28 to 180.
2)	Piping suggestion without port T2 (sizes 28 to 180)
3)	Piping suggestion with Port T2 (sizes 250 to 355).

Above-reservoir installation

Above-reservoir installation means that the axial piston unit is installed above the minimum fluid level of the reservoir.

1)	Standard for sizes 250 and 355, special version for sizes 28 to 180.
2)	Installation position only permissible if port T2 is fitted (sizes 250 and 355).

General project planning notes

The axial piston unit is designed to be used in open and closed circuits. The project planning, installation and commissioning of the axial piston unit require the involvement of qualified skilled personnel. Before using the axial piston unit, please read the corresponding instruction manual completely and thoroughly. If necessary, request it from Bosch Rexroth. Before finalizing your design, request a binding installation drawing. The specified datas and notes must be observed. Preservation: Our axial piston units are supplied as standard with preservative protection for a maximum of 12 months. If longer preservative protection is required (maximum 24 months), please specify this in plain text when placing your order. The preservation times are valid under optimal storage conditions. Details of these conditions can be found in the data sheet 90312 or the instruction manual. Not all versions of the product are approved for use in a safety function according to ISO 13849. Please consult the responsible contact person at Bosch Rexroth if you require reliability parameters (e.g. MTTFD) for functional safety. A pressure relief valve is to be provided in the hydraulic system. Observe the instructions in the instruction manual regarding tightening torques of connection threads and other threaded joints used. The notes in the instruction manual on tightening torques of the port threads and other screw joints must be observed. The ports and fastening threads are designed for the permissible maximum pressure pmax (see instruction manual). The machine or system manufacturer must ensure that the connecting elements and lines correspond to the specified operating conditions (pressure, flow, hydraulic fluid, temperature) with the necessary safety factors. The working ports and function ports are designated only to accommodate hydraulic lines.
