54 A10VO Series 32 | Axial piston variable pump
Project planning notes
Project planning notes
▶ The A10VO axial piston variable pump is designed to be
used in open circuit.
▶ The project planning, installation and commissioning of
the axial piston unit requires the involvement of quali-
fied skilled personnel.
▶ Before using the axial piston unit, please read the corre-
sponding instruction manual completely and thoroughly.
If necessary, these can be requested from Bosch Rexroth.
▶ Before finalizing your design, please request a binding
installation drawing.
▶ The specified data and notes contained herein must be
observed.
▶ Depending on the operating conditions of the axial
piston unit (working pressure, fluid temperature), the
characteristic curve may shift.
▶ 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 periods apply
under optimal storage conditions, details of which 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 pursuant to ISO13849. Please consult the
responsible contact person at Bosch Rexroth if you require
reliability parameters (e.g. MTTF
d
) for functional safety.
▶ Depending on the type of control used, electromagnetic
effects can be produced when using solenoids. When a
direct current is applied, solenoids do not cause electro-
magnetic interference nor is their operation impaired by
electromagnetic interference.
Other behavior can result when a modulated direct
current (e.g. PWM signal) is applied. Potential electro-
magnetic interference for persons (e.g. persons with a
pacemaker) and other components must be tested by
the machine manufacturer.
▶ Pressure controllers are not protection against overpres-
sure. A pressure relief valve is to be provided for the
hydraulic system.
▶ Working ports:
– The ports and fastening threads are designed for the
specified maximum pressure. The machine or system
manufacturer must ensure that the connecting ele-
ments and lines correspond to the specified applica-
tion conditions (pressure, flow, hydraulic fluid, tem-
perature) with the necessary safety factors.
– The working ports and function ports are only
intended to accommodate hydraulic lines.
Safety instructions
▶ During and shortly after operation, there is a risk of
getting burnt on the axial piston unit and especially on
the solenoids. Take appropriate safety measures (e.g. by
wearing protective clothing).
▶ Moving parts in control equipment (e.g. valve spools)
can, under certain circumstances get blocked in posi-
tion as a result of contamination (e.g. impure hydraulic
fluid, abrasion, or residual dirt from components). As a
result, the hydraulic fluid flow and the build-up of torque
in the axial piston unit can no longer respond correctly
to the operator's specifications. Even the use of various
filter elements (external or internal flow filter) will not
rule out a fault but merely reduce the risk. The machine/
system manufacturer must check whether additional
measures are required on the machine for the relevant
application in order to bring the driven consumer into a
safe position (e.g. safe stop) and ensure any measures
are properly implemented.
