11 RE B/02.10 A10VG Series 10 Bosch Rexroth AG 11/60 Product description 4 Product description 4.1 Performance description The axial piston variable pump generates, controls and regulates a hydraulic fluid flow. It is designed for mobile applications such as construction machinery. Refer to the data sheet and order confirmation for the technical data, operating conditions and operating limits of the axial piston unit. Closed circuit 4.2 Device description The A10VG is an axial piston variable pump with swashplate design for hydrostatic drives in closed circuits. Flow is proportional to drive speed and displacement. The flow can be steplessly changed by controlling the swashplate (14). A hydraulic system is considered to be closed if the hydraulic fluid which flows back from the consumer is directed directly back to the pump. Here, there is a high-pressure side and a low-pressure side depending on the load direction (output torque on the consumer) Assembly of the axial piston unit Fig. 2: Assembly of the A10VG series 10 1 Drive shaft 2 Retaining plate 3 Stroke piston 4 Controller (using the EP as an example here) 5 Pressure cut-off (optional) 6 Low-pressure side 7 Boost pump 8 Control plate 9 Suction port 10 High-pressure side 11 Cylinder 12 Piston 13 Slipper pad 14 Swashplate

12 12/60 Bosch Rexroth AG A10VG Series 10 RE B/02.10 Product description For axial piston units with swashplate design, the pistons (12) are arranged axially with respect to the drive shaft (1). They are guided in the rotating cylinder (11) and support themselves with the slipper pads (13) on the non-rotating swashplate (14). The drive shaft (1) and cylinder (11) are connected to one another by means of gearing. Pump Pressure cut-off High-pressure safeguarding Boost pump Functional description Torque is applied to the drive shaft (1) by an engine. The cylinder (11) turns with the drive shaft, turning with it the pistons (12). On each rotation, the pistons perform a stroke movement which is defined by the pitch of the swashplate (14). The slipper pads (13) are held on and guided along the glide surface of the swashplate by the retaining plate (2). During a rotation, each piston moves over the bottom and top dead centers back to its initial position. During this action, the fluid volume defined by the piston surface and the stroke is fed in or removed through the two control slits in the control plate (8). On the low-pressure side, (6) fluid flows into the enlarging piston chamber in a closed circuit this is supported by the return and boost pressures. At the same time, on the high-pressure side (10) the fluid is pushed out of the cylinder chamber into the hydraulic system by the pistons. The operating pressure is limited by the pressure cut-off. The pressure cut-off corresponds to a pressure regulator which reduces the pump capacity once the set specified pressure value is reached so that the set pressure is maintained but not exceeded. The pressure spikes which occur during very rapid swiveling operations as well as the maximum pressure are safeguarded by the superordinate high-pressure relief valves. These valves open if the set value is exceeded, thereby depressurizing the low-pressure side. The fluid quantity remains constant in the closed circuit. The leakage at the pump and motor is replaced by the boost pump (7). The boost pump continuously supplies a sufficient volume of fluid (boost volume) from a small tank to the low-pressure side of the closed circuit via a check valve to replenish the internal leakage of the variable pump and consumer. The boost pump is an internal gear pump which is driven directly via the drive shaft. The following warning notice applies to all axial piston units with the HD and EP controllers: Caution! The spring return in the control unit is not a safety device. The spool valve inside the control unit can get stuck in an undefined position by internal contamination (contaminated hydraulic fluid, abrasion or residual contamination from system components). As a result, the axial piston unit can no longer supply the flow specified by the operator. ff Check whether your application requires that remedial measures be taken on your machine in order to bring the driven consumer into a safe position (e. g. immediate stop).

13 RE B/02.10 A10VG Series 10 Bosch Rexroth AG 13/60 Product description Control The swivel angle of the swashplate (14) is steplessly variable. By changing the swivel angle, the piston stroke and, therefore, the displacement change. The swivel angle is controlled hydraulically via the stroke piston (3). The swashplate is mounted for easy motion in swivel bearings and the neutral position spring centered. Increasing the swivel angle increases the displacement; reducing the angle results in a corresponding reduction in displacement. If the swashplate is not swiveled out, the displacement is equal to zero. Various controllers are available depending on requirements. Additional information on the control devices, e.g. the circuit diagram or characteristics, can be found in technical data sheet RE

14 14/60 Bosch Rexroth AG A10VG Series 10 RE B/02.10 Product description MD mechanical swivel trunnion control Control devices The swashplate is adjusted directly and thus the displacement of the pump is continuously varied depending on the position of the swivel trunnion.

21 RE B/02.10 A10VG Series 10 Bosch Rexroth AG 21/60 Product description 4.3 Bypass function For vehicles with hydrostatic travel drive, as long as there is no downstream mechanical interruption of the drive train (switch to idle/free running), the flow can be altered using a bypass function in order to tow the vehicle out of the immediate danger zone. The standard version of A10VG variable pump has no high-pressure relief valves with bypass function. If necessary, this must be specified when ordering. Turning the corresponding screw allows the hydraulic fluid to flow freely Fig. 15: Activating the bypass function Activating the bypass function Towing speed Towing distance Caution! To activate the bypass function: 1. Switch off the combustion engine. 2. Loosen the lock nut ( 2) by turning counter-clockwise one half rotation with a hex wrench (WAF 13). 3. Use an Allen key (WAF 4) to screw in the screw ( 1) clockwise until the screw (1) is against the spring disc. This is apparent by the increased resistance. Then screw the screw (1) one half turn into the spring disc. 4. Tighten the lock nut ( 2) clockwise with a torque of 22 Nm. The maximum towing speed is dependent on the gear ratio in the vehicle and must be calculated by the vehicle manufacturer. The corresponding flow of Q = 30 l/min must not be exceeded. The vehicle may only be towed out of the immediate danger zone. Risk of damage! Higher towing speeds and longer towing distances result in impermissible heat generation and insufficient lubrication. This damages the axial piston unit. ff Only tow the vehicle out of the immediate danger zone. Caution! Risk of damage! During and after towing, the axial piston units are hot. ff Wear protective clothing.

22 22/60 Bosch Rexroth AG A10VG Series 10 RE B/02.10 Product description Deactivating the bypass function Caution! To deactivate the bypass function: 1. Immediately following towing, switch off the bypass function. 2. Restore the function of the high-pressure relief valve. To do this, perform the settings made under item "Activating the bypass function" in the reverse order: Loosen the lock nut (2) with a hex wrench (WAF 13), then turn the screw (1) counter-clockwise with an Allen key (WAF 4) to the stop. 3. Retighten the lock nut ( 2), turning clockwise with a torque of 22 Nm Risk of damage! While towing with the bypass function activated, the closed hydraulic circuit empties itself. This can result in unintended functions when restarting the travel drive. ff Start the travel drive only after completely filling and air bleeding the hydraulic circuit (see "7.1 First commissioning"). 4.4 Product identification The axial piston unit can be identified from the name plate. The following example shows an A4VG A10VG name plate: Rexroth DE Elchingen CNR: X Y Typ: A10VG45HW1/10R-NSC10F003S MNR: R90XXXXXXX SC: X SN: FD: W Rotation: n XXXX min -1 P XXX kw m XXX kg Made in Germany Fig. 16: A4VSO name plate A10VG Manufacturer Internal plant designation Sample category (optional) Direction of rotation (looking at drive shaft) here: clockwise Specified area for test stamp Ground (optional) Power Barcode Rotational speed Production date Serial number Material number of the axial piston unit Ordering code Customer material number

Striking or impulsive forces on the drive shaft can damage the axial piston unit. ff Do not strike the coupling or drive shaft of the axial piston unit. ff Do not set/place the axial piston unit on the drive shaft. ff Details on the permissible axial and radial forces can be found in the data sheet. Axial piston units can be transported with a forklift truck or with a lifting device. ff Make certain that the forklift truck or lifting device has adequate lifting capacity. Dimensions and weights Carrying the axial piston unit Table 3: Dimensions and weights Size Ground kg 14 (18) 1) Width mm The dimensions vary with the unit type. The values applicable Height mm for your axial piston unit can be found in the installation drawing (request if necessary). Depth mm 1) 14 kg: MD control, 18 kg: HD control The weight specifications may vary depending on the unit type. Axial piston units with a weight of up to 15 kg can be transported by hand if necessary. Transport with ring screw Transporting with lifting device For transporting, the axial piston unit can be connected to a lifting device via a ring screw or a lifting strap. The drive shaft can be used to transport the axial piston unit as long as only outward (pulling) axial forces occur. Thus, you can suspend the axial piston unit from the drive shaft. ff To do this, screw a ring screw completely into the thread on the drive shaft. The threaded sizes is stated in the installation drawing. ff Make sure that each ring screw can bear the total weight of the axial piston unit plus approx. 20%. You can hoist the axial piston unit as shown in Fig. 17 with the ring screw screwed into the drive shaft without any risk of damage. Fig. 17: Fixing the ring screw

24 24/60 Bosch Rexroth AG A10VG Series 10 RE B/02.10 Transport and storage Transport with lifting strap WARNING! ff Place the lifting strap around the axial piston unit in such a way that it passes over neither the attachment parts (e.g. valves) nor such that the axial piston unit is hung from attachment parts (see Fig. 18). Risk of injury! During transport with a lifting device, the axial piston unit can fall out of the lifting strap and cause injuries. ff Hold the axial piston unit with your hands to prevent it from falling out of the lifting strap. ff Use the widest possible lifting strap. Fig. 18: Transport with lifting strap 5.2 Storing the axial piston unit Requirement The storage areas must be free from corrosive materials and gasses. The storage areas must be dry. Ideal storage temperature: +5 C to +20 C Minimum storage temperature: -50 C. Maximum storage temperature: +60 C. Avoid intense lights. Do not stack axial piston units and store them shock-proof. Do not store the axial piston unit on sensitive attachment parts, e.g. sensors. For other storage conditions, see Table 4. ff Check the axial piston unit monthly to ensure proper storage. After delivery The axial piston units are provided ex-works with corrosion protection packaging (corrosion protection film). Listed in the following table are the maximum permissible storage times for an originally packed axial piston unit. Table 4: Storage time with factory corrosion protection Storage conditions Closed, dry room, uniform temperature between +5 C and +20 C. Undamaged and closed corrosion protection film. Standard corrosion protection Maximum 12 months Long-term corrosion protection Maximum 24 months

25 RE B/02.10 A10VG Series 10 Bosch Rexroth AG 25/60 Transport and storage The warranty is rendered void if the requirements and storage conditions are not adhered to or after expiration of the maximum storage time (see Table 4). Procedure after expiration of the maximum storage time: Check the entire axial piston unit for damage and corrosion prior to installation. Check the axial piston unit for proper function and leaks during a test run. If the storage time exceeds 24 months, the shaft seal ring must be replaced. After expiry of the maximum storage time, we recommend that you have the axial piston unit inspected by your responsible Rexroth Service partner. After disassembly In the event of questions regarding repair and spare parts, contact your responsible Rexroth Service partner or the service department of the manufacture's plant for the axial piston unit, see chapter "9.5 Spare parts" for further information. If a dismounted axial piston unit is to be stored, it must be preserved against corrosion for the duration of the storage. The following instructions only refer to axial piston units which are operated with a mineral-oil based hydraulic fluid. Other hydraulic fluids require conservation methods that are specifically designed for them. In such a case, consult with Rexroth Service (see chapter "9.5 Spare parts" for address). Rexroth recommends the following procedure: Clean the axial piston unit, see chapter "9.1 Cleaning and care". Completely empty the axial piston unit. For storage time up to 12 months: Moisten the inside of the axial piston unit with mineral oil and fill with approx. 100 ml mineral oil. For storage time up to 24 months: Filling the axial piston unit with corrosion protection VCI 329 (20 ml). Fill via case drain port "T 1 " or "T 2 ", see chapter "6.4 Assembling the axial piston unit", Fig. 24 to 26. Seal all ports airproof. Moisten the unpainted surfaces of the axial piston unit with mineral oil or acidfree grease. Package the axial piston unit airproof together with desiccant in corrosion protection film. Store the axial piston unit so that it is protected against jolts. See "Requirement" in this chapter for further conditions.

26 26/60 Bosch Rexroth AG A10VG Series 10 RE B/02.10 Assembly 6 Assembly Prior to assembly, the following documents must be available: Installation drawing for the axial piston unit (available from Rexroth) Hydraulic circuit diagram for the axial piston unit (in the installation drawing) Hydraulic circuit diagram for the system (available from the system manufacturer) Order confirmation (contains the preset data of the axial piston unit) Data sheet for the axial piston unit (contains the technical data) 6.1 Unpacking The axial piston unit is delivered in a corrosion protection film made of polyethylene material (PE). ff Dispose of the packaging according to the national regulations of your country. CAUTION! Risk of parts falling out If the packaging is not opened correctly, parts may fall out and damage the parts or even result in injury. ff Place the packaging on a flat and solid surface. ff Only open the packaging from the top. 6.2 Installation conditions The installation location and position of the axial piston unit essentially determine the procedures during installation and commissioning (such as when filling and air bleeding the axial piston unit). Correct filling and air bleeding is necessary to prevent damage to the axial piston unit and to maintain correct function. Note that you can expect certain installation positions to affect the control device. Because of gravity, dead weight and case pressure, minor characteristic displacements and actuating time changes may occur. ff Adhere to all limits specified in the data sheet regarding temperature, viscosity, cleanliness of the hydraulic fluid. ff Make certain that the axial piston unit is air bled and filled with hydraulic fluid during commissioning and operation. This is also to be observed following relatively long standstill periods as the axial piston unit may empty via the hydraulic lines. ff The case drain fluid in the case interior must be directed to the tank via the highest case drain port. Use the line size which is appropriate for the port. ff Avoid using a check valve in the case drain line (exception: see "Above-tank installation" in chapter "6.3 Installation position"). ff To achieve favorable noise values, decouple all connecting lines from all vibration-capable components (e.g. tank) using elastic elements.

27 RE B/02.10 A10VG Series 10 Bosch Rexroth AG 27/60 Assembly ff Make certain that the suction line, case drain fluid, and return line flow into the tank below the minimum fluid level in all operational states. 0.8 abs S Fig. 19: Suction pressure 1 2 Absolute pressure gauge Standard pressure gauge ff Make certain that a minimum suction pressure of 0.8 bar absolute is present at port "S" during operation and on cold starts in all installation positions and installation locations for the axial piston pump, see Fig.19. See data sheet for additional values. ff Absolute cleanliness is required. The axial piston unit must be installed in a clean condition. Contamination of the hydraulic fluid can have a considerable impact on the service life of the axial piston unit. ff Do not use any cotton waste or linty cloths for cleaning. ff Use suitable liquid detergents to remove lubricants and other difficult-to- remove contamination. Detergents must not penetrate the hydraulic system. Caution! Risk of damage by air inclusions! An air pocket in the area near the bearings will damage the axial piston unit. ff During assembly, make certain that the motor case is completely filled with hydraulic fluid during commissioning and during operation with the installation position " drive shaft upwards". ff During commissioning and during operation, the suction line must be filled with hydraulic fluid. Caution! Risk of damage by hydraulic fluid loss! With above-tank installation, the case interior may drain via the case drain line after longer standstill periods (air enters via the shaft seal ring) or via the service line (gap leakage). The bearings are thus insufficiently lubricated when the pump is recommissioned. ff Check the hydraulic fluid level in the case interior regularly; if necessary, recommission.

28 28/60 Bosch Rexroth AG A10VG Series 10 RE B/02.10 Assembly 6.3 Installation position The following installation positions are permissible. The shown piping layout illustrates the basic layout. If it is not possible to fill the stroking chambers via X 1 and X 2 in the final installation position, this must be done prior to installation. In order to prevent unexpected actuation and damage, the stroking chambers must be air bled. If air bleeding of the stroking chamber through ports X 1 and X 2 is not possible on account of the installation situation, the air can be pushed out of the stroking chambers by slowly and repeatedly swiveling the axial piston unit out in both directions. Make sure that the machine or the system is in a safe state during the air bleed process Below-tank installation (standard) Below-tank installation is when the axial piston unit is installed outside of the tank below the minimum fluid level.

Caution! Risk of damage to the product! An air pocket in the area near the bearings will damage the axial piston unit. ff Make certain that the motor case is completely filled with hydraulic fluid during commissioning and during operation with the "drive shaft upwards" installation position. ff Check the hydraulic fluid level in the case interior regularly; if necessary, recommission. With above-tank installation, the case interior may drain via the case drain line after longer standstill periods (air enters via the shaft seal ring) or via the service line (gap leakage). The bearings are thus insufficiently lubricated when the pump is recommissioned. ff Make certain that the suction line is always filled with hydraulic fluid during commissioning and operation. Observe the maximum permissible suction height h S max = 800 mm. The permissible suction height h s is derived from the total pressure loss. Recommendation for installation position 8 (drive shaft upwards): A check valve in the case drain line (opening pressure 0.5 bar) can prevent draining of the case interior.

31 RE B/02.10 A10VG Series 10 Bosch Rexroth AG 31/60 Assembly 6.4 Assembling the axial piston unit Danger! Systems which are in operation pose a risk of injury! Working on operating systems poses a danger to life and limb. The work steps described in this chapter must only be performed on systems which are at a standstill. Before beginning work: ff Ensure that the engine cannot be switched on. ff Ensure that all power-transmitting components and connections (electric, pneumatic, hydraulic) are switched off according to the manufacturer's instructions and are secured against being switched on again. If possible, remove the main fuse for the system. ff Ensure that the system is completely hydraulically relieved and depressurized. Please follow the system manufacturer's instructions. ff Only qualified personnel (see chapter "2.3 Personnel qualifications") are authorized to assemble the axial piston unit Preparation Check the delivery contents for completeness and transport damages. Compare the material number and designation (ordering code) with the details in the order confirmation. If the material number for the axial piston unit does not correspond to the one in the order confirmation, contact Rexroth Service for clarification, see chapter "9.5 Spare parts" for address. Before assembling, completely empty the axial piston unit to prevent mixing with the hydraulic fluid used in the system. Check the direction of rotation of the axial piston unit (on the name plate) and make sure that this corresponds to the direction of rotation of the engine. L R Fig. 22: Direction of rotation L R Counter-clockwise Clockwise The direction of rotation as specified on the name plate determines the direction of rotation of the axial piston unit as viewed on the drive shaft. For information on the direction of rotation of the engine, please refer to the engine manufacturer's operating instructions.

32 32/60 Bosch Rexroth AG A10VG Series 10 RE B/02.10 Assembly Dimensions The installation drawing contains the dimensions for all connections and ports on the axial piston unit. Also observe the instructions provided by the manufacturers of the other components when selecting the required tools General instructions During assembly (and disassembly) of the axial piston unit, observe the following general instructions and handling instructions: After a short operating time, toothed belts lose a major portion of their pretension and thus cause speed variations and torsional vibrations. Torsional vibrations may cause leakages on the shaft seal ring or increased rotary angle accelerations of the rotary group of the driven axial piston unit. Particularly at risk are diesel drives with a small number of cylinders and low flywheel mass. V-belt drives without automatic tensioning device are also critical with regard to speed variations and torsional vibrations. These can also lead to leakages on the shaft seal ring. An automatic tensioning device can lessen the speed variations and vibrations and thus avoid consequential damage. When transferring the input or output drive of an axial piston unit with the aid of a cardan shaft, vibrations may occur which may result in leakages on the shaft seal ring of the axial piston unit depending on the temperature and frequency. ff When using toothed belts or v-belts to transfer the input or output drive, always use an automatic tensioning device. ff Fix the axial piston unit so that the expected forces and torques can be transferred without any danger. ff The permissible axial and radial loading of the drive shaft, the permissible torsional vibrations, the optimum direction of load force, as well as the limit speeds can be found in the data sheet. ff Observe the permissible radial forces on the drive shaft when driving with radial loading (belt drives). If necessary, the belt disc must be separately mounted. WARNING! Risk of damage! Striking or impulsive forces on the drive shaft can damage the axial piston unit. ff Do not strike the coupling or drive shaft of the axial piston unit. ff Do not place/lay the axial piston unit on the drive shaft or other sensitive attachment parts, e.g. sensors. ff Details on the permissible axial and radial forces can be found in the data sheet. How to assemble the axial piston unit depends on the connecting elements to the drive side. The following descriptions explain the installation of the axial piston unit: with a coupling on a gearbox

33 RE B/02.10 A10VG Series 10 Bosch Rexroth AG 33/60 Assembly Installation with coupling How to assemble the axial piston unit with a coupling is described in detail in the following: 1. Assemble the specified coupling half onto the drive shaft of the axial piston unit according to the instructions of the coupling manufacturer. The drive shaft of the axial piston unit is equipped with a threaded bore. Use this threaded bore to pull the coupling element onto the drive shaft. Refer to the installation drawing for the dimensions of the threaded bore Make certain that the installation location is clean and free from dirt and contaminants. Clamp the coupling hub onto the drive shaft or ensure permanent lubrication of the drive shaft. This prevents the formation of frictional corrosion and the associated wear. Transport the axial piston unit to the installation location. Assemble the coupling onto the drive according to the instructions of the coupling manufacturer. The axial piston unit must not be tightened down until the coupling has been correctly assembled. Fix the axial piston unit at the installation location. If necessary, details on the required tools and tightening torques for the fixing screws are available from the machine or system manufacturer. For bell housing installation, check the coupling axial play through the bell window according to the manufacturer's instructions. For flange installation, align the support for the axial piston unit with the drive. When using flexible couplings, check that the drive is free of resonance after completing the installation Installation on a gearbox How to assemble the axial piston unit on a gearbox is described in detail in the following: After installing on a gearbox, the axial piston unit is covered and is difficult to access: ff Therefore, before installing, make sure that the centering diameter centers the axial piston unit (observe tolerances) and that no impermissible axial or radial forces act on the drive shaft of the axial piston unit (installation length). ff Protect the spline of the drive shaft from frictional corrosion by providing permanent lubrication.
