Explosion Protection
Directive 94/9/EG ATmosphre EXplosible
Directive 94/9/EC of the European
Parliament, that lays down minimum
requirements for the improvement
of health and safety at work for
employees working in areas with an
explosion hazard, came into force
on 01.07.2003.
Since that day, all products that
have been placed on the market,
or put into service must comply
with this new directives, because
since this date both old directives
and national regulations became
invalid in all EU member states.
The member states must transpose
the European regulations into
national law!
This ensures total harmonization
regulations regarding explosion
protection, free trade and uni-
form requirements for quality
assurance and additional monito-
ring of quality assurance for the
development and production of
such components within the EU.
Since 01.07.2003 Rexroth has
exclusively supplied products for
these specic applications that
comply with this directive and are
accompanied by the relevant docu-
mentation.
It is no longer permitted in the EU
to sell new components that are in
manufactured in accordance with
old standards.

but required for or contributing
to the safe functioning of
equipment.
Equipment capable of causing an
explosion through its own
potential source of ignition.
Electrical equipment, which
source of ignition could be
electricity and all related effects
such as heat, sparks and radi-
ation.
Non-electrical equipment, which
source of ignition could be hot
surfaces, friction and
mechanically generated sparks.
Equipment intended for use in
areas with a potentially explosive
atmosphere caused by dust.

2 Scope of delivery and responsibilities
2.1 Scope of delivery and responsibilities of
Bosch Rexroth
Rexroth hydraulic products full all safety requirements applica-
ble to uid power systems and their components.
IMPORTANT
For the scope of delivery and the responsibilities of
Bosch Rexroth with respect to the product, please refer to the
Product-specic Operating Instructions.
2.2 Responsibilities of the plant operator
CAUTION
If Rexroth hydraulic products are positioned in the vicinity
of sources of ignition or strong radiators of heat, protec-
tion must be put in place that would prevent any escaping
pressure uid from igniting and the hose lines from aging
prematurely.
Mineral-oil-based pressure uid is hazardous to water and
ammable. It may only be used if the relevant safety data-
sheet from the manufacturer is available and all the mea-
sures stipulated therein have been implemented.
If there is a risk of uid leaking from the hydraulic prod-
uct and contaminating water or the ground, the hydraulic
product in question must be placed in a suitable collect-
ing trough. In connection with this, the applicable statutory
regulations must be observed.
You must also observe the EU directives for the use of work
equipment (Directive 89/391/EC) and the associated individ-
ual directives, especially Directive 1999/92/EC for the protection
from the danger arising from potentially explosive atmospheres
and their implementations in national legislation. The legisla-
tion contains minimum requirements with respect to the making
available by the employer of work equipment and for the use
of work equipment by employees at work, including the regu-
lations for operating equipment requiring supervision and the
obligation to produce explosion protection documentation. This
involves, for example, dividing areas endangered by potentially
explosive atmospheres into zones and specifying suitable work
equipment and procedures for these areas.
2.2.1 Noise protection
The A-weighted equivalent continuous sound power level of
Rexroth hydraulic products can be obtained from the relevant
Operating Instructions. If no values are documented then it can
be taken that the value is less than 70 dB(A).
Installation of Rexroth hydraulic products in a machine or sys-
tem may increase this value, and if so, the manufacturer of the
machine/system must document this.
At or above 85 dB(A), the plant operator must make suitable
hearing protection available to the personnel.
2.2.2 Special points concerning the installation of
certain products
A Rexroth hydraulic product is intended above all for installa-
tion in machines, systems and power units as a part machine
or a component for installation into another machine or system
and is not a complete machine in the sense of the EU directive.
In addition to the Machinery Directive, still further directives
may apply, such as the Pressure Equipment Directive or the
Explosion Protection Directive.
A wide range of dangers can arise from the combined actions
of the hydraulic product and the machine or system in which
the hydraulic product is installed. Therefore you must always
make sure that the hydraulic product is also suitable without
restriction for the proposed application at the installation loca-
tion. The interfaces with the overall machine and the operat-
ing conditions are also of the greatest importance. We recom-
mend that the results of the hazard analysis (risk assessment)
of the overall machine are taken into account in the design of
the hydraulic product.
The functioning of the hydraulic product is also inuenced by
the machine or system in which it is installed.
For this reason, you must also always observe the Operating
Instructions of the overall system in which your hydraulic prod-
uct is installed. It is most important for you to also consider the
possible use of the hydraulic product in a potentially explosive
atmosphere (see 94/9/EC).
IMPORTANT
Bosch Rexroth points out that, at the time of their rst intro-
duction on to the market, hydraulic products comply with the
requirements of all relevant EU directives and/or their imple-
mentation into national legislation in Germany. If the scope of
delivery is intended to be installed in a machine or system, then
the Machinery Directive applies as appropriate including the
then currently applicable amendments in that the scope of
delivery does not necessarily comply with the requirements
of the Machinery Directive because the scope of delivery is
intended for installation in a machine or because the scope of
delivery is intended for combination with other machines into a
machine or a hydraulic system.
The bringing into use of the scope of delivery shall there-
fore not be permitted until the machine or system in which the
scope of delivery is to be installed or of which it represents a
component complies with the requirements of all relevant EU
directives.
Details of further responsibilities can be found in
3 Important basic safety instructions and in the Operating
Instructions.

3.5 General ancillary dangers and
protective measures when operating
hydraulic products
DANGER
In the interests of your safety, all safety instructions shall be
carefully observed, especially those in the Operating Instruc-
tions.
In spite of the high intrinsic safety of Rexroth hydraulic prod-
ucts, the risk of personal injury or damage to the environment
cannot be excluded, even when the equipment is properly
used.
New, additional dangers may arise if the hydraulic product is
installed in another machine or installed with other machines
in a system. This shall apply in particular to mechanical move-
ments generated by the hydraulic product.
Information on these additional dangers can be found in the
overall operating manual of the supplier of the overall system in
which the hydraulic product is installed.
3.5.1 Dangers from pressure uid
CAUTION
Handling pressure uid without protection is hazardous to
health.
Please observe the manufacturers safety instructions and the
safety datasheets for the pressure uid that you are using.
DANGER
Serious damage to health or death may result if pressure uid
enters the blood stream or is swallowed. If this occurs, contact
a doctor immediately!
3.5.2 Malfunctions due to contamination of
pressure uid
Contamination of the pressure uid can be caused by:
Wear during operation of the machine/system (metallic
and non-metallic abrasion)
Leaks of the hydraulic product
Contaminants introduced during servicing/repair
The use of dirty (unltered) pressure uid when the pres-
sure uid is changed.
Contaminants lead to malfunctions, increased wear and shorter
service life of the hydraulic product. This can have negative
effects on the safety and reliability of the hydraulic product.
Therefore the maintenance tasks specied in the Operating
Instructions shall be carried out at regular intervals and the
utmost cleanliness is required during work on the hydraulic
product.
CAUTION
When changing the pressure uid, always use factory-fresh
pressure uid and lter it before lling to remove any contami-
nants in the pressure uid that it often contains from the pack-
aging container (drum). Flush out lines and hoses before instal-
lation.
The cleanliness class of a pressure uid is specied in accor-
dance with ISO 4406. Detailed information can be obtained
from the relevant datasheet or the Operating Instructions.
45

De-energise the hydraulic system before beginning any
maintenance work.
Cordon off the working area with red-white safety chain
and warning signs.
Lock the main switch, remove the key and keep it in a safe
place until the work is completed.
Attach a warning sign to the main switch.
Check that there is no voltage using a two-pole voltage
detector.
Earth and short-circuit the point where you are working.
Cover neighbouring live parts.
Clear your workplace to prevent contact with live parts as
a result of tripping or slipping. Wear safety footwear.
Always use electrically insulated tools.
Disconnect plugs at sensors and valves even those with
low voltages after the system has been de-energised.
DANGER
Even after disconnection of the electrical supply
(main switch OFF) the following supply systems/danger
areas can still give rise to life-threatening voltages:
Electrics, electronics, hydraulics (e.g. accumulators,
rechargeable batteries)
Main switch
Power supply cables
Points identied with an electric shock warning sign.
3.5.4 Product-specic ancillary dangers
All product-specic ancillary dangers and precautions can be
found in the relevant Operating Instructions.

Operating temperature range 0 C+80 C
(in tank < 72 C).
Any deviations from this can be found in the Operating Instruc-
tions.
IMPORTANT
Bosch Rexroth recommends a maximum operating tempera-
ture of 55 C, because the rate of ageing of the pressure uid
increases and the service life of the seals and hoses is reduced
at higher temperatures.
Viscosity ranges:
see RE 07075 and RE 90220

4.2 Ambient conditions
4.2.1 Use in potentially explosive atmospheres
DANGER
Rexroth hydraulic products shall be used in potentially
explosive atmospheres only if they are designed for this
purpose and this is expressly stated in the Operating
Instructions.
IMPORTANT
Directive 1999/92/EC of the European Parliament and Coun-
cil dated 16 December 1999 concerning the minimum require-
ments for improving the safety and health protection of work-
ers potentially at risk from explosive atmospheres governs
protection from danger from potentially explosive atmospheres.
Observe the requirements contained in the regulations for
operating equipment requiring supervision and the obligation to
produce explosion protection documentation.
This involves, for example, dividing areas endangered by poten-
tially explosive atmospheres into zones and specifying suitable
work equipment and procedures for these areas.
Observe the requirements of Directive 94/9/EC of the Euro-
pean Parliament and Council dated 23 March 1994 on the
approximation of laws of the member states concerning equip-
ment and protective systems intended for use in potentially
explosive atmospheres (ATEX Product Directive) and/or the
corresponding national legislation by means of which the Direc-
tive was implemented in law in the EU member states. The
directive contains requirements for the use of equipment and
protective systems in potentially explosive atmospheres.

5 What you need to know about
pressure uids
5.1 How to handle pressure uids safely
DANGER
Mineral-oil-based pressure uid is hazardous to water and
ammable.
It may only be used if the relevant safety datasheet from
the manufacturer is present and all the measures stipu-
lated therein have been implemented.
5.2 Functions and effectiveness
Due to the many tasks of pressure uid, its selection, inspec-
tion and maintenance are of vital importance for:
proper functioning
operating safety
service life
and the cost effectiveness of the hydraulic product.
The tasks of pressure uid:
to transmit hydraulic energy from the pump to the hydrau-
lic cylinder/motor
to lubricate parts moving against one another
corrosion protection
to remove contaminants
to remove locally accumulated heat.
5.2.1 Reduced function due to ageing
The effectiveness of pressure uid diminishes as it ages
(undergoes chemical changes). Acids and resinous residues
form, which may cause valve spools to stick.
The following factors accelerate the ageing process:
high temperatures
oxygen in the pressure uid
air humidity
water
metallic catalysers
operating pressure
contaminants.
IMPORTANT
Observe the following rules of thumb:
At pressure uid temperatures >70 C, the rate of ageing
doubles for each 10 C.
5.3 Viscosity
5.3.1 Viscosity grades
The most important characteristic of a pressure uid is its vis-
cosity, i.e. stickiness. Viscosity range always plays a priority
role in the selection of a pressure uid.
Viscosity is measured in the SI unit [mm
2
/s]. Many manufactur-
ers still provide their information in centiStoke [cSt], the equiv-
alent of [mm
2
/s].
The viscosity grades (VG = viscosity grade) in accordance with
ISO 3448 relate to the viscosity at 40 C. The viscosity grade
is appended to the type designation or the commercial name of
the pressure uid.
Example: A pressure uid with a viscosity grade of ISO VG 46
has a viscosity of 46 mm
2
/s at 40 C.
The relationship between medium temperature and viscosity for
hydraulic oil (example)

/s
25 C 100 mm

60 C 20 mm
2
/s
77 C 12 mm
2
/s
Too high a viscosity leads to the formation of air and vapour
bubbles as a result of low pressure (cavitation). Too low a vis-
cosity leads to increased leakage losses. Increased leakage
losses cause the pressure uid to heat up more, leading in turn
to a further reduction in viscosity. The pressure uid then loses
its ability to lubricate.
Valves, pumps and hydraulic motors, in particular, require exact
compliance with the dened viscosity ranges.
For certain ambient and operating temperatures, not all the
requirements can always be covered with the available ranges
of the viscosity grades.
In order to comply with all the requirements, high viscosity
pressure uids with viscosity index improvers or a pressure
uid cooler/heater may be used.
49
01
14/32 Bosch Rexroth AG Hydraulics General product information RE 07008
5.4 Leakage uid
Clearances and play mean that some leakage uid escapes
from all hydraulic products. Leakage uid can be lead away
internally or externally, depending on the component. It can be
fed back into the tank or must be disposed of.
CAUTION
Make sure that the leakage uid is fed back into the tank
in a proper manner.
Dispose of leakage uid that is not fed back into the tank
properly, in compliance with the applicable environmental
protection regulations.
5.5 Topping up/relling
CAUTION
When topping up/relling your hydraulic system, make
sure that you use pressure uid of the same sort and type
and from the same manufacturer.
If the uid is heavily contaminated or prematurely aged,
then the system, including the tank must be cleaned and
ushed before relling. New pressure uid must always be
ltered in accordance with the required cleanliness class,
as it does not normally meet the required cleanliness class
in the as-supplied state.

6 Construction and mode of operation
of a hydraulic system
6.1 Denitions of terms
Hydraulics (uid technology)
Transmission, control and distribution of energy and signals
using a pressurised uid medium.
Hydraulic system
Arrangement of interconnected components for transferring
and controlling hydraulic energy.
Component
A single unit (e.g. a valve, lter, cylinder, motor) that consists
of one or more parts and which is a functional constituent of a
hydraulic system.
Drive
A component that converts the energy of the hydraulic uid
into mechanical energy (e.g. motor, cylinder).
6.2 Schematic
In a system operated with hydraulic oil, rst of all mechani-
cal energy is converted into hydraulic energy, transported and
controlled in this form, to nally be converted once more into
mechanical work.
The hydraulic elements are arranged in accordance with these
functions. The following diagram shows a schematic represen-
tation of the elements of a complete hydraulic system.
To demonstrate their operating principle, standardised symbols
(ISO 1219) are used instead of sectional diagrams of the vari-
ous devices. Line connections are represented by simple lines,
as can be seen in the example.

6.3 Safety concept
Hydraulic products contain sensors and actuators, the interac-
tion of which is particularly important with regard to the full-
ment of technical safety functions.
Individual hydraulic products form part of an overall safety con-
cept.
Applications required to perform safety functions are designed
using special hydraulic components that satisfy the require-
ments of the relevant directives, such as the Pressure Equip-
ment Directive and other standards.
The manufacturer of the overall machine or system denes and
bears responsibility for the safety category to EN 954-1 to be
fullled.
IMPORTANT
A more detailed description of the safety concept and the spe-
cic safety components installed can be found in the Operating
Instructions and the Operating Instructions of the supplier of
the overall system in which the hydraulic product is installed.
51
01
16/32 Bosch Rexroth AG Hydraulics General product information RE 07008
7 Moving hydraulic units/components
Hydraulic units or components may be moved by a fork-lift
truck or a hoist, depending on their size and the local condi-
tions.
IMPORTANT
For details see the Operating Instructions.
CAUTION
Always ensure hydraulic products are empty of pressure
uid for transportation.
Rexroth hydraulic products are delivered empty of pressure
uid. However, products may contain oil residues left over from
the nal inspection at our factory.
8 Storage and longer standstills
8.1 Hydraulic systems - subsequent bringing
into use after storage
Corrosion, especially oxidation, can cause metal surfaces to
lose the standard of surface nish required for the hydraulic
system to function properly.
Rust and other metallic and non-metallic particles lead to abra-
sive wear (erosion), which detrimentally affects the functioning
of the hydraulic system.
CAUTION
If a hydraulic system is to be brought into use again fol-
lowing a long standstill, it must rst be ushed clean.
8.1.1 Factory-applied corrosion protection
Rexroth hydraulic products are tested in accordance with
Class III using a hydraulic oil that has additional anti-corrosive
properties. The lm of oil that remains in the product after the
test provides sufcient internal corrosion protection.
This factory lubrication ensures that valves do not stick during
subsequent use of the hydraulic product, and guarantees com-
patibility with seals and the pressure uid to be used.
IMPORTANT
The factory-applied corrosion protection is adequate provided
that
no condensation or leakage water can enter the system
long standstills are avoided.
Contact Bosch Rexroth if you are not clear about the conse-
quences of long standstills on the state of the hydraulic prod-
uct.
8.1.2 Storage times in relation to the ambient
conditions
Delays in bringing into use, long shipping and storage times or
long periods of non-use can lead to rust formation in Rexroth
hydraulic products. Additional corrosion protection measures
must be implemented to prevent this.
IMPORTANT
If all the openings on the hydraulic products are not sealed so
as to be air-tight, this will reduce the storage life of the hydrau-
lic product by nine months.
After the specied storage time has expired, in any event not
longer than 24 months, the corrosion protection must be
checked and further conservation measures applied if neces-
sary.
52
Hydraulics Bosch Rexroth AG RE 07008 General product information 17/32
8.2 Seals, hoses and hose lines
CAUTION
Seals:
Observe the requirements of ISO 2230 and/or DIN 7716
and the specic manufacturers data on seals.
Hoses and hose lines:
In the Federal Republic of Germany, please observe the
requirements of DIN 20066, ZH 1/74 Safety rules for
hydraulic hose lines and the specic manufacturers data
on hoses and hose lines.
In addition, the following conditions shall be observed:
Seals, hoses and hose lines are stored in cool, dry and
dust-free conditions.
The hoses and hose lines can be enclosed in plastic foil to
ensure low-dust storage conditions. Ideal storage conditions
for hoses and hose lines are temperatures from +15 C to
+25 C and a relative humidity of below 65 %.
Do not store elastomers below 10 C. The ideal stor-
age conditions for seals are temperatures from +10 C
to +20 C and a relative humidity of between 65 % and
75 %.
Store hoses and hose lines in the original packaging if
possible. Prevent the entry of air.
Avoid direct sunlight and UV radiation and shield from
nearby sources of heat.
Darkened storage locations are preferred.
Do not use ozone-forming light sources or equipment
(e.g. uorescent lamps, mercury-vapour lamps, copiers,
laser printers) or electrical spark-forming devices in the
vicinity of hoses and hose lines.
Seals, hoses and hose lines must not come into contact
in particular with materials or vapours that could damage
them (e.g. acids, alkalis, solvents).
Store seals, hoses and hose lines lying down and free
from tension. If the hoses and hose lines are coiled, take
care not to bend them to less than the smallest bending
radius specied by the manufacturer.
Maximum storage times
NBR seals: 4 years
FKM seals: 10 years
Hoses: 4 years
Hose lines: 2 years
For reasons of safety, seals, hoses/hose lines shall not be
used once these permissible storage times are reached or
exceeded. Permissible storage times could be considerably
reduced if the permissible storage conditions are not main-
tained. If you are not clear about the storage times and/or stor-
age conditions then you should not use the product.

9 Assembly and bringing into rst use
IMPORTANT
Only the permissible pressure uids given in the Operating
Instructions are to be used. Information on other pressure u-
ids can be found in the Operating Instructions or are available
on request.
Filling the pressure uid tank must always take place through a
suitable lter unit. Experience has shown that even new pres-
sure uid can often have more than the maximum permissible
level of contamination.
All information specic to assembly and bringing into rst use
can be found in the Operating Instructions.
Pay attention to cleanliness:
Do not use cleaning wool or cloths containing bres for
cleaning.
Depending on the condition of the system or machine,
cleaning with bre-free cloths may be sufcient. Use suit-
able liquid cleaning agents to remove lubricants and other
stronger contaminants. Make sure that cleaning agent
does not get into the hydraulic system.
Never use hemp and putty as sealants.
The functional or failure behaviour of identical hydraulic prod-
ucts may vary due to conditions specic to the machine or sys-
tem in which the hydraulic product is installed (mass, speed,
electrical triggering at setpoint values, etc.), see also Section
11 Trouble-shooting.
9.1 Safety advice for assembly and
bringing into rst use
DANGER
Hydraulic products are generally intended for installation
in machines/systems or devices.
The function of the hydraulic product must therefore
always be seen in relation to the function of this machine
i.e. seemingly identical hydraulic products may demon-
strate different functional behaviours as a result of the
function of the machine in which they are installed.
For this reason, a hydraulic drive must not be brought into
use until it has been determined that the machine in which
it is installed conforms to EU standards.
Do not bring hydraulic drives into use until you have famil-
iarised yourself completely, rstly with the function of the
hydraulic product and hydraulic equipment and secondly
with the hydraulically powered machine functions, and
have claried and dealt with any possible dangers.
Bringing into (rst) use shall only be done by an instructed,
authorised hydraulics expert who has the required special-
ist knowledge.
Specialist hydraulics knowledge means, among other things,
that the person can read and fully understand hydraulics draw-
ings. In particular, he must fully comprehend the range of func-
tions of the integrated safety components as part of the overall
safety concept.
9.2 Before bringing into rst use
1. Check the scope of delivery for transport damage.
2. Check that the Operating Instructions for the Rexroth
hydraulic product are present and complete.
Contact us if the Operating Instructions are not there or
are incomplete.
3. Assemble the hydraulic product.
Observe the Operating Instructions and this product
information.
Assemble the hydraulic components, so that they are
mounted strain-free on even surfaces.
Tighten the fastening bolts evenly using the specied
tightening torque.
4. Ensure that the interfaces of the system/machine and the
installation conditions provide for safe operation of the
hydraulic product. If in doubt, consult the people responsi-
ble for the overall system/functional machine.
5. Check the construction of the hydraulic product against
the circuit diagrams, lists of equipment and assem-
bly drawings. If there are any differences, draw this to
the attention of the people responsible. If important
documents are missing, they can be requested from
Bosch Rexroth. Only documents issued by the bodies
authorised to do so shall be used.
6. Based on the Operating Instructions for the system or
machine in which the hydraulic product is installed, check
whether bringing the hydraulic system into use could lead
to uncontrolled, dangerous movements. Where appropri-
ate, take into account the hazard analysis/risk assessment
for the system or machine.
7. Take the precautions appropriate to the anticipated dan-
gers, e.g.
Ensure that the cylinder piston rod can move out
without danger.
Use a hoist or other lifting device to additionally
secure lifted loads.
54
Hydraulics Bosch Rexroth AG RE 07008 General product information 19/32
8. As part of bringing into (rst) use, check whether the elec-
tric motors and valve solenoids can be switched manually
using the electrical controls of the system/machine. If they
cannot be switched manually or can but with difculty
you must provide a remote control (e.g. test boxes for
Rexroth proportional valves) for the internal function test of
the hydraulic system.
IMPORTANT
Starting up the hydraulics solely by means of emergency man-
ual operation is not recommended, as several valves at once
cannot be switched as required in the correct sequence.
9. Draw up a sequential program for bringing into (rst) use
and store it with the technical documentation as an appen-
dix to the Operating Instructions.
For this you should consider the following:
Hydraulic drives basically consist of the following func-
tional groups
Pump circuit (generation of pressurised oil ow);
pump, electric motor, oil tank, lters, monitoring
devices, etc.
Control system for at least one hydraulic consumer
(cylinder, motor); directional control valves, pressure
and ow control valves, check valves
Hydraulic consumers (cylinders, motors) with spe-
cially assigned valves, e.g. braking valve.
10. Divide the functional circuit diagram into separate mini-cir-
cuits that can each be started up in succession.
11. Read the functional circuit diagram and seek clarication
of any unclear text or diagrams. More information about
the functioning of components, e.g. a pump regulator, is
available in the Technical Datasheet.
12. Establish into which position valves are to be switched, or
how valves are to be set.
13. Put up any necessary directional, prohibitive or informative
signs and check whether the meaning of these signs are
explained in the Operating Instructions.
14. Follow this sequence for bringing into (rst) use
Pump circuit
Parts of control system:
e.g. pressure cut-off and switchover,
open centre,
pressure reduction etc.
Cylinder and motor circuits:
First move,
ll and bleed,
then nally optimise all settings.
9.3 Bringing into rst use,
subsequent bringing into use
DANGER
Before bringing into (rst) use, have all pressure accumu-
lators and safety systems checked by an expert or special-

Make sure that all pipes and hoses and every combination of
connection pieces, couplings or connection points with hoses
or pipes are checked for their operational safety by someone
who has the appropriate knowledge and experience.
9. Connect the hydraulic consumers. Dimension the connec-
tion lines in accordance with the performance data in the
Circuit Diagram and the Operating Instructions.
10. Install the electrical system for the drive and control sys-
tem:
Check the connected loads.
Connect coolant water if necessary.
Check the direction of rotation of the pumps
(e.g. as indicated by attached arrow markings).
11. Check the pressure uid to ensure that no water has
entered it.
12. Before lling the pressure uid tank, please observe the
following requirements:
The pressure uid must conform to the specication
in the Operating Instructions.
CAUTION
Never ll new hydraulic products with used pressure
uid.
The drums of pressure uid must be sealed and clean
on the outside.
IMPORTANT
If the pressure uid has a high level of initial contamination
(see 4 Technical data and ambient conditions):
Use a lter unit to ll the pressure uid tank. Ensure that the l-
ter element is clean.
IMPORTANT
The neness of the lter shall correspond to the cleanliness
class required by the overall system and if possible be even
ner.
The lter unit used shall full the requirements for functional
safety and service life.
If possible, ll the pressure uid tank via a lling coupling,
using a return lter if possible.
CAUTION
Use oil ller units (lter units) suitable for pres-
sure uids.
Do not remove the lter strainers from ller necks or the
lter element from lters before lling the pressure uid
tank.
13. Fill the pressure uid tank up to the upper mark on the
inspection window. Observe the maximum uid level, tak-
ing into consideration the volume in the connection lines
and hydraulic consumers.
14. Set the pressure and ow control valves, pump regula-
tor, signalling elements such as pressure switches, limit
switches and temperature regulators to the settings and
values dened in the sequential program (see 9.2 Before
bringing into rst use).
DANGER
Do not change the settings of valves with a safety
function, valves with a position switch or valves with
preset electronics.
Set operating-pressure valves and ow control valves
to the lowest possible values.
Set directional control valves to their basic setting.
Reduce the setpoint values of proportional valves to
minimum values.
Do not remove the tamperproof lead seals. Damaged
or removed tamperproof lead seals indicate improper
use of the hydraulic product.
15. If applicable:
Fill the pressure accumulator to the specied gas pre-
charge pressure and then check the pressure, see Operat-
ing Instructions.
16. Fill the pump body:
Use the leakage oil port to ll pump bodies that have this
feature, see Operating Instructions.

56
Hydraulics Bosch Rexroth AG RE 07008 General product information 21/32
19. Bleed the hydraulics (valve, pump, motor, line, cylinder).
IMPORTANT
Details on bleeding can be found in the Operating Instruc-
tions.
Operate the hydraulic product at low pressure until it
is fully bled.
Bleed the hydraulics lines to consumers or measuring
points at the highest point, if possible.
Operate the directional valves in jogging mode.
Next, advance and retract all hydraulic consumers
several times.
Increase the load slowly. Check the pressure uid
level in the pressure uid tank. If necessary, top it up
with pressure uid.
Bleeding has been accomplished fully and correctly if the pres-
sure uid in the tank does not foam, if the hydraulic consumers
do not make any jerky movements and if no abnormal noises
can be heard.
20. Set the valves and sensors and start up the machine:
Set the switching operations of valves with a
switching time adjustment/ramp in accordance with
the dynamic conditions, see Operating Instructions.
Finely adjust and optimise the setting of proportional
valves without on-board electronics (OBE).
Manufacturing tolerances mean that valves and ampliers have
to be adjusted in line with one another. Valves with in-built elec-
tronics (OBE, On Board Electronics) have the valve and ampli-
ers adjusted in line with one another at the factory.
Ampliers for valves without OBE are supplied from the fac-
tory with a basic setting. Depending on the type of valve and
amplier, you may have to ne-tune the null point and sensitivity
before bringing the valve into use.
IMPORTANT
Details on ne-tuning can be found in the Operating Instruc-
tions.
21. Check the operating temperature after the machine has
been running continuously for several hours. Too high an
operating temperature indicates that there are faults that
need to be analysed and rectied.
22. Rectify any leakages, e.g. by relieving couplings from pres-
sure and then retightening.
IMPORTANT
Apart from moisture, which should not be sufcient to form one
drop, no measurable, unintentional leakage shall be found.
23. After bringing the machine into rst use, have a sample of
the pressure uid analysed to ensure that it achieves the
required cleanliness class. Change the pressure uid if the
required cleanliness class is not achieved.
If the pressure uid is not tested in the laboratory after
bringing the machine into rst use:
Change the pressure uid.
24. Replace the pressure uid lter.
25. Document and le all set values.
DANGER
26. To ensure the safety of persons and the system, after
bringing the machine into rst use, perform the following
tests using the dened maximum values:
Function test
Pressure test.
Prepare a record of the bringing into (rst) use or accep-
tance and have it signed by the plant operator. This record
is an important document and requires to be led.
IMPORTANT
Information on how to perform the function test and pres-
sure test can be found in the Operating Instructions.

10 Operation
IMPORTANT
Please refer to the Operating Instructions for all information on
how to operate the Rexroth hydraulic product.
11 Trouble-shooting
11.1 What to do in the event of a fault
DANGER
In the event of abnormal occurrences or malfunctions, stop
all work on the Rexroth hydraulic product immediately and
inform the responsible personnel.
IMPORTANT
A table for product-specic trouble-shooting can be found in
the Operating Instructions.
If the responsible personnel are unable to rectify the problem
immediately:
Switch off the main switch. If applicable, turn off any
combustion engines used as drive motors.
Secure the main switch against being unintentionally
switched on again.
Inform the machine manufacturer.
11.2 The basic approach to trouble-shooting
The information in this section is intended to help you create
the ideal conditions for carrying out trouble-shooting as ef-
ciently as possible.
11.2.1 General conditions
Is all the necessary technical documentation to hand?
If no hydraulic circuit diagram is available:
Can a hydraulic circuit diagram be drawn using the struc-
ture, signs and labelling of the equipment?
Are there enough measuring points?
Has the customer provided useful information about how
the malfunction manifests itself and about the functional
behaviour of the system/component prior to the malfunc-
tion?
Is there a machine record book that may document similar
malfunctions in the past?
11.2.2 Recommended way of working when
trouble-shooting
Successful trouble-shooting for a hydraulic product requires
precise knowledge about the structure and method of opera-
tion of the individual components.
Where hydraulics are combined with electrics/electronics, in
particular, trouble-shooting is rendered more difcult and co-
operation between electricians and hydraulic specialists is
required.
Even if you are under time pressure, proceed systemati-
cally and methodically.
Indiscriminate, hasty dismantling and readjustments may,
in the worst case, result in the original cause of failure
being impossible to determine.
Make sure that you gain an overview of the function of the
hydraulics in respect of the overall system in which the
hydraulics are installed.
Try to nd out whether the hydraulics performed the
required function in the overall system prior to the
occurrence of the fault.
Try to determine any modications to the overall system in
which the hydraulics are installed:
Have the operating conditions or operating range of
the hydraulics been changed?
Have modications (e.g. retrotted equipment)
or repairs been carried out on the overall system
(machine/system, electrics, control system) or on the
hydraulics? If yes: What were they?
Have the set values of the hydraulics been changed?
Have the hydraulics recently undergone mainte-
nance?
Has the hydraulic product/machine been operated
improperly?
How does the malfunction manifest itself?
Form a clear picture of the cause of the fault. Ask the
machine operators directly, if necessary.
Document any work undertaken, changed set values, etc.
Document any amendments/additional information that
should be included in the Operating Instructions.
58
Hydraulics Bosch Rexroth AG RE 07008 General product information 23/32
11.2.3 Systematic trouble-shooting procedure
Is there an inspection and maintenance book which might
provide information about the trend of test parameters
(e.g. temperature of hydraulic uid, replacement intervals
of lter elements, noises)?
Have there been any identical or similar failures in the
past?
Make a note of causes of failures with a low
probability. Only investigate the failure causes you
have noted down if all failure causes with a high
probability have been proven to be inapplicable.
Draw up a list of priorities of the most probable failure
causes.
Verify these listed failure causes one after the other
(by means of theoretical conclusions, disassembly,
measurements or tests).
Document the causes of failure you have discovered,
and note down how you discovered them.
11.3 Trouble-shooting tables
IMPORTANT
The causes of failure in hydraulic systems can be extremely
complex. Therefore, general rules for trouble-shooting can only
be laid down to a limited degree.
Please refer to the relevant Operating Instructions for product
specic information about trouble-shooting the Rexroth hydrau-
lic product.

12 Maintenance
12.1 Denitions of terms
The term Maintenance as dened in DIN 31051 encompasses
all measures to maintain and restore the desired conditions
and to determine and assess the actual condition of the techni-
cal devices of a system .
These measures are divided into the following categories:
Inspection (determining the actual condition)
Servicing (maintaining the desired condition)
Repair (restoring the desired condition).
The above measures include:
Adapting maintenance objectives to suit company objec-
tives
Determining appropriate maintenance strategies.
12.2 Safety during maintenance tasks
DANGER
In the interests of safety, please observe all the following
safety instructions carefully and at all times.
Check safety devices regularly to see that they are
working properly.
Perform all maintenance work properly, completely and
within the stipulated periods and make a record of the
work.
Inform all personnel before commencing maintenance
work.
Generously cordon off the maintenance zone before
commencing work.
Inform all persons of ongoing maintenance work by means
of the appropriate signs.
In particular, attach warning signs to the control cabinet,
main switch, actuators and points of access.
If you have to switch off the hydraulic product, secure it against
being unintentionally switched on again as follows:
Switch off all drives, disconnect the hydraulics from the
mains at the main switch.
Depressurise the hydraulic product (relieve any pressure
accumulators of pressure).
Secure the main switch against being unintentionally
switched on again.
Before undertaking any manual intervention in the Rexroth
hydraulic product:
DANGER
Please refer to the Operating Instructions for all the neces-
sary information on depressurisation and on those parts of
the Rexroth hydraulic product that are not depressurised
automatically.
Advance all cylinders to their safe end position.
Lower all loads.
Switch off all pumps.
Mechanically support vertical cylinders so that they
cannot drop. Never perform any maintenance work on
raised units without external support.
Relieve any accumulators of pressure in the proper
manner.
Switch off the pressure supply and secure the
hydraulic product against being inadvertently switched
on again.
Ensure that only authorised personnel remain in the
work zone.
Wear safety glasses, gloves and boots.
Allow pressure lines and sections of the system which
have to be opened to cool down before commencing
maintenance work.
Open with care any segments that have to remain
under pressure.
Since check valves are located in the pressure lines above the
pumps, the hydraulic system may still be under pressure even
after it has been disconnected from the actual pressure supply.
Certain segments, such as servo cylinders, also continue to
remain under pressure because the proportional valves remain
in the closed position (all valves are illustrated in their basic
position in the hydraulics diagram).
Observe the following:
Only new, interchangeable and tested components,
replacement parts and lubricants in original-equipment
quality are approved for use/replacement.
For reasons of safety, the installation of used and/or
untested components is strictly prohibited and leads to
loss of EU Conformity.
Exercise extreme vigilance when operating the hydraulic prod-
uct in maintenance mode, which may in certain circumstances
necessitate the temporary removal of certain safety devices.
60
Hydraulics Bosch Rexroth AG RE 07008 General product information 25/32
Make sure that all safety devices are properly installed and
have undergone a function test before bringing the system
(back) into use.
Perform welding, burning or grinding work on the hydraulic
unit or its attachments only with the approval of local
safety authorities/re brigade and with suitable protective
covering to prevent ingress of contaminants.
When performing assembly work above your height, use
the steps and platforms provided by the plant operator. Do
not climb on any parts of the system.
Remove all tools and materials needed for maintenance
from the hydraulic product.
Always rectify any leakage from the hydraulic product
immediately.
Always inform personnel before (re)starting the hydraulic
product.
12.3 Inspection and servicing
The objective of inspection and servicing is
To maintain all system functions along with the initial
parameters of the system
To ensure continual availability of the system
To detect weak points
To ensure that the system attains the required service life.
IMPORTANT
The following general specications are based on use of the
hydraulic product in central Europe and under the usual operat-
ing conditions of commercial and industrial plants.
We strongly recommend the use of an inspection and servicing
book, in which all work specic to that site, and all inspection
and servicing intervals should be dened and documented.
An inspection and servicing book is also helpful in that
It provides comparison values to aid with early detection of
malfunctions
It allows warranty claims to be dealt with more easily.
CAUTION
Ensure cleanliness during all work.
Please observe the requirements for pressure uids
mentioned in Section 9 Assembly and bringing into rst
use.
Clean the external environment of couplings/joints and
devices before disassembly. Do not use cleaning wool or
cloths containing bres for cleaning.
Seal all openings using protective caps.
Bleed the hydraulic product after each item of servicing
work.
Document and le details of any work undertaken,
changed set values, etc.
Document and le details of any amendments/additional
information that should be included in the Operating
Instructions.
Modications and additions could affect the validity of the
EU Conformity Declaration/Manufacturers Declaration.
Always consult Bosch Rexroth about any proposed
modications or additions.

6 Failure
The reduction in the wear margin reects wear. The curve rep-
resents one possible form of the wear prole during the period
of use. It is determined during inspection and varies depend-
ing, rstly, on the system itself (e.g. material selection, sur-
face treatment, quality) and secondly on external inuences
or boundary conditions such as servicing levels, corrosive cir-
culating air and dust. Thirdly, it depends on how the system
is operated; whether with partial load or partially with excess
load, whether it is subject to surge loads or steady load, etc.
Where hydraulic systems are concerned, the curve is also inu-
enced by the cleanliness class and degree of fouling of the
pressure uid, the number of cycles and the ambient condi-
tions.
62
Hydraulics Bosch Rexroth AG RE 07008 General product information 27/32
All the factors mentioned above can exert an inuence on the
curve but this need not necessarily adversely affect the quality
of its information, as wear always signies the reduction in the
wear margin, which is understood to be the primary initial vari-
able before wear commences.
Consequently, this means that a sudden change in the wear
margin must also count as wear, and that the element of time
on its own is not of decisive importance for wear, but is of con-
siderable interest in the assessment and evaluation of such
wear.
An increase in the wear margin to over 100 % above its base-
line may be achieved through corrective maintenance, if such
measures entail an improvement and this increase is estab-
lished as the new desired condition for future corrective main-
tenance.
Certain system parts may be subject to a wear margin which
diminishes in such a way that the time available for use is insuf-
cient for the requirements of the plant or operation. In this
case, investigations must be carried out to ascertain whether
the introduction of suitable technical measures might counter
this reduction in the wear margin to a satisfactory extent. The
time and expenditure required for such measures must natu-
rally be kept in reasonable proportion to the expected degree
of success.
If such conditions arise, we refer to these parts as weak points.
Since their elimination may provide economic and safety
advantages, weak points require to be rectied immediately.
IMPORTANT
The inspection and servicing plan for your particular product
can be found in the Operating Instructions.
12.3.4 Inspection and servicing plan,
electrohydraulic systems
Electrohydraulic systems with proportional valves must be ser-
viced in accordance with hydraulic requirements and strate-
gies. However, technical control components must also be
incorporated in these servicing cycles.
On this basis, an overall strategy for system servicing must be
developed and documented.
IMPORTANT
The appropriate component characteristics relevant to servic-
ing can be found in the Operating Instructions.
12.3.5 Inspection and servicing plan: electrics and
control system
IMPORTANT
The product-specic inspection and servicing plan for electrics
and control systems can be found in the Operating Instruc-
tions.
12.3.6 Lubrication points, lubricants, intervals
IMPORTANT
The details of the specied lubricants, lubrication points and
associated lubrication cycles can be found in the Operating
Instructions.
12.3.7 Set values of valves, regulators and
signalling elements
Pressure and ow control valves, pump regulators and signal-
ling elements such as pressure sensors, pressure switches,
limit switches and temperature regulators are given their opti-
mum setting when the system is brought into rst use.
Check regularly whether all values are correctly set with the aid
of the hydraulics diagram and the documented values.
DANGER
The set values of valves with position switches shall only
be calibrated or readjusted at the factory.
The set values of safety valves shall not be altered by the
user. Any readjustment shall be performed by authorised
testing bodies only.
Too low a pressure difference between the operating pres-
sure and the opening pressure can lead to frequent opening
of safety valves. This leads to increased power losses and an
unacceptable increase in temperature of the pressure uid. In
this event, select a lower operating pressure.
63
01
28/32 Bosch Rexroth AG Hydraulics General product information RE 07008
12.3.8 Replacement of pressure uid lters and
ventilation lters
CAUTION
Unltered pressure uid lters lead to increased wear of
all the systems hydraulic products and can cause func-
tional failures with dangerous effects. Therefore, always
replace contaminated oil lters immediately.
Clogged ventilation lters result in inadequate cooling and
can therefore cause excessive heating up and malfunc-
tions of the hydraulic system. Therefore, always replace
contaminated ventilation lters immediately.
Clogged lters must always be replaced immediately.
Do not clean clogged lters.
Allow the contents of the replaced oil lter to drip and
fully drain.
Dispose of the lter in accordance with the applicable
regulations.
Exact instructions on how to replace a lter can be found in the
Filter manufacturers instructions for use.
12.3.9 Checking lters with a contamination indicator
Filters with contamination indicators continuously measure the
degree of fouling. The dirt-retention capacity of the lter is uti-
lized to the full.
IMPORTANT
Check the contamination indicator when the pressure uid is
warm (during or immediately after operation).
If the ambient temperature is low or the pressure uid is cold,
its high viscosity may cause clogging to be indicated, although
the pressure uid is in fact clean.
Procedure:
1. Wait until the hydraulic product has reached operating
temperature.
2. Press the indicator button (check function):
If the indicator button pops out again immediately, the lter
must be replaced by the end of the shift at the latest.
Due to the progressive loss in pressure as the lter becomes
increasingly contaminated, the indicator point has a certain
reserve capacity, i.e. generally sufcient for a work shift of 8 h.
If the lter is not replaced after 8 h, dirt may penetrate the sys-
tem, resulting in contamination of the hydraulic product.
CAUTION
In certain circumstances the contamination indicator does
not show a required lter replacement.
If the check function never indicates lter replacement and the
contamination indicator is functioning correctly, this may have
the following causes:
Faulty lter
A bypass valve may have been installed and is not closing
correctly, e.g. due to the entry of dirt particles.
12.4 Service and storage lives of hose lines
IMPORTANT
In terms of the service life of hydraulic hose lines in these
Operating Instructions, replacement and storage lives are mea-
sured from the date of manufacture of the hose line.
Even when properly stored and subjected to permissible loads,
seals, hoses and hose lines undergo a natural ageing process.
The replacement and storage lives of seals, hoses and hose
lines are therefore limited (see 8.2 Seals, hoses and hose
lines).
DANGER
Hose lines must be replaced in accordance with the provi-
sions of the servicing plan, even if there are no detectable
technical defects in the hose line.
Hoses that have already been used as part of a hose line
shall not be reused in a hose line.
The rst use may have changed the properties of the hose
material to such an extent that reuse of the hose repre-
sents a very high risk.
64
Hydraulics Bosch Rexroth AG RE 07008 General product information 29/32
12.5 Topping up the pressure uid
IMPORTANT
Only pressure uids specied in the Operating Instructions are
to be used.
When changing or topping up the pressure uid, ll the pres-
sure uid tank on the hydraulic product as follows:
1. Fill the pressure uid tank using a special lling unit with
an integral lter (min. 10 m).
2. Drop the system pressure right down by resetting the
pump. Set the pressure setting value on the pump pres-
sure control to minimum or zero pressure.
3. Fill and bleed the line system of the hydraulic product from
the unit to the cylinder. To do this actuate the cylinder in
both directions, see Operating Instructions.
4. Top up the pressure uid volume to the specied quantity.
5. Raise the pump pressure to the system pressure.
The hydraulic product is ready for operation.
6. Carry out a test run.
7. Check the level of the uid after the hydraulic product has
warmed up to the operating temperature and adjust if nec-
essary.
IMPORTANT
Check the contamination indicator when the pressure uid is
warm (during or immediately after operation).
If the ambient temperature is low or the pressure uid is cold,
its high viscosity may cause clogging to be apparently indi-
cated.
12.6 Servicing pressure accumulators
DANGER
Pressure accumulators are subject to the national legisla-
tion on safety requirements for pressure vessels applica-
ble in the place of installation.
Observe the Pressure Equipment Directive 97/23/EC.
IMPORTANT
The gas precharge pressure is measured with a testing and ll-
ing device.
Details of the procedure can be found in the Operating Instruc-
tions.
Inspection and servicing
Carry out the tests required by law.
Test and monitor the gas precharge pressure regularly.
12.7 Repair
IMPORTANT
Repair (corrective maintenance) is the restoring of the desired
condition.
In addition, observe the special safety instructions in
12 Maintenance and the safety instructions in the Operating
Instructions.
DANGER
Ensure cleanliness during all work.
Clean the external environment of couplings/joints and
devices before disassembly. Do not use cleaning wool or
cloths containing bres for cleaning.
Seal all openings using protective caps.
Bleed the hydraulic product after each item of repair work.

ings. In particular, he must fully comprehend the range of func-
tions of the integrated safety components.
Components may only be dismantled for the purpose of repair
to the extent described in the Operating Instructions.
Never repair a defective safety valve. It must be completely
replaced.
Faulty parts may only be replaced by new, interchangeable,
tested components in original-equipment quality. Any devia-
tions from this can be found in the Operating Instructions.
Before each subsequent bringing into use after repair work, the
hydraulic product shall be accepted by a hydraulics expert.
The operator of the hydraulic product is required to check by
means of a servicing record that the inspection and servicing
plan as been complied with.
Pressure vessels have to be pressure tested every 10 years
and the information recorded in accordance with the Pressure
Equipment Directive 97/23/EC or its implementation in national
legislation.
13 General information about
hydraulic pressure accumulators
13.1 General
The regulations applicable at the place of installation concern-
ing hydraulic pressure accumulators (hydrostatic accumula-
tors) must be observed before bringing into use and during
operation.
The plant operator bears sole responsibility for compliance with
the existing regulations.
Hydrostatic accumulators are subject to the national implemen-
tation of the EU Pressure Equipment Directive 97/23/EC.
Documents supplied with accumulators must be preserved
with care; they will be required during recurring inspections by
specialists.

Hydraulics Bosch Rexroth AG RE 07008 General product information 31/32
14 Hydraulic systems
Hydraulic systems are generally intended for installation in
machines or systems. In addition to the basic information about
the installed components, the information contained in the
Operating Instructions made available for each hydraulic sys-
tem by Bosch Rexroth also applies to hydraulic systems.
By installing the hydraulic system in a machine or system, the
interaction of the hydraulic system with the overall machine
may give rise to changes in the potential dangers. In particular
the effect of hydraulic and electrical control of hydraulic drives
that create mechanical movement are to be considered.
This information shall be included in the hazard analysis/risk
assessment of the overall machine carried out by its supplier
and in the Operating Instructions of the overall machine. This
also applies to the specication of the interfaces between the
hydraulic system and the overall machine.
Hydraulic systems are subject to legislation including the Pres-
sure Equipment Directive and other relevant EU directives that
have been implemented in national legislation. Exact informa-
tion can be found in the EU Conformity Declaration or Manu-
facturers Declaration that is supplied with the hydraulic system
or the hydraulic product.
WARNING
Before installing a hydraulic system in a machine or mod-
ifying an existing hydraulic system in a machine, satisfy
yourself that
the hydraulic system is suitable for its application in the
machine
the ambient conditions in the machine are suitable and/or
permissible for the use of the hydraulic system
other installed items on or in the machine cannot disturb
or endanger the functioning or the safe operation of the
hydraulic system.
If the overall machine is to be used in a potentially explosive
atmosphere, then it must be ensured that the hydraulic system
has been designed and is suitable for this use.
14.1 Effects of leaks in the hydraulic system
on the machine
If pressure uid escapes from the hydraulic system and comes
into contact with hot surfaces on the machine, this can lead to
the generation of life-threatening smoke, re and/or other dan-
gerous operating conditions.
These risks shall be determined by the machine manufacturer
by means of a hazard analysis and if necessary provision made
for the appropriate safety devices.

Installation, commissioning and
maintenance of industrial valves
1. General
Before commissioning industrial valves, observe the notes in the
following data sheets:
Related data sheet
German standard DIN 24 346
ISO standard ISO 4413
2. System flushing
With external pilot oil supply, ensure that this connection is also
flushed.
The hydraulic fluid volume contained in the system should be flushed
through the filter at least 150 to 300 times.
As a rule, the recommended flushing time can be calculated as
follows:
V
t = x 2.5 to 5
q
V
Where:
t = flushing time in hours
V = tank capacity in litres
q
V
= pump flow in l/min
A decisive factor for the flushing time is the degree of contamina-
tion of the hydraulic fluid according to section 4.3. To achieve the
required minimum cleanliness the hydraulic system must be flushed
sufficiently long. This can be ensured only through continuous
monitoring using a particle counter.
If the hydraulic fluid is changed over to special fluids that are not
compatible or miscible with the hydraulic fluids used before, con-
siderably longer flushing times may be required.
During the flushing process, all filters must be checked at short
intervals and the filter elements replaced as required.
3. Installation
3.1 Rules for the installation
Before installing the valve on the system, compare the type desig-
nation of the valve with the order data.
Make sure that the connection surfaces of the valve and the
subplate are dry and free from oil.
Cleanliness:
When installing the component, make sure that the industrial
valve and the surroundings are clean
The tank must be sealed against external contamination
Pipes and tank must be freed from contamination, scale, sand,
chips, etc. prior to the installation.
Warm-bent or welded pipes must be pickled, flushed and oiled.
For cleaning use only lint-free cloth or special paper.
Sealing materials such as hemp, putty or sealing tape are not
permitted.
For pipework use seamless precision steel pipes to DIN 2391/
parts 1 and 2.
The mounting face must feature a surface quality of
R
t max
4 m and a flatness of 0.01 mm/100 mm length.
Fixing screws must comply with the dimensions and the strength
class specified in the data sheet and must be tightened at the
specified tightening torque.
As filler/breather filter we recommend a filter with the same
mesh width as the filter in the hydraulic system!
3.2 Valve installation
When installing the valve, make sure that the mounting face and
the subplates are dry and free from oil. If the presence of oil on the
connecting faces cannot be avoided, the fixing screws must be
tightened manually, not with the aid of power tools. In the case of
more than 4 fixing screws, care should be taken that the central
screws are tightened first.
This measure ensures that the seal rings seal properly against the
valve connection face.

3.3 Installation position
Optional, preferably horizontal for directional valves!
For valve versions such as, for example,
without spring centring of the spool
or with solenoids hanging downwards,
other installation positions can lead to malfunction or restrictions
with regard to the specified technical data.
In the case of pressure switches with drain port the installation
position must be selected so that the max. permissible pressure of
2 bar is not exceeded.
3.4 Electrical connection
For circuit examples and pin assignments, see the relevant data
sheet.
4. Commissioning
4.1 Hydraulic fluid
Observe the recommendations given in the data sheet!
Observe pressure and temperature ranges!
In general, the following fluids can be used:
Mineral oil (HL; HLP) to DIN 51 524
1)
Fast bio-degradable fluids to VDMA 24 568
(see also RE 90 221)
HETG (rape seed oil)
1)
HEPG (polyglycols)
2)
HEES (synthetic esters)
2)
(other hydraulic fluids on enquiry)
The maximum temperatures recommended by the fluid sup-
plier should not be exceeded. To ensure constant response char-
acteristics it is recommended that the hydraulic fluid tempera-
ture be kept constant ( 5 C).
4.2 Is the sealing material used suitable?
For hydraulic fluids (e.g. HEPG and HEES) and in the case of
temperatures > 80 C FKM seals must be used (identified with
V in the type code).
4.3 Filtration
Reliable filtration prolongs the service life of valves.
Please also observe the recommendations with regard to the
max. permissible degree of contamination of the hydraulic fluid
according to NAS 1638 in our data sheet.
The max. permissible differential pressure across the filter ele-
ment must not be exceeded.
We recommend the use of filters with clogging indicator.
Observe strict cleanliness when changing the filter.
Contamination on the outlet side of the filter is flushed into
the system and causes malfunction.
Contamination on the inlet side reduces the useful life of the
filter element.
4.4 Bleeding
Bleeding of the valves is not necessary!
However, to ensure proper operation of the valves, draining
of the tank line must be avoided (installation of a precharge
valve).
5. Maintenance
5.1 The valves are basically maintenance-free; since seals are sub-
ject to natural wear and aging, they must be replaced as re-
quired.
6. Storage
Storage requirements:
Dry, dust-free room, free of corrosive substances and vapours
When storing for periods of more than 6 months:
Fill the valve with preserving oils and seal it.
1)
Suitable for NBR and FKM seals
2)

Installation, Commissioning and Maintenance
of Electro-hydraulic Servo and High-response Control Valves
1. General
Before commissioning servo valves, the guidelines stated within
the following data sheets have to be taken into account:
Relevant catalogue sheet
The German standard DIN 24 346
ISO standard 4413
Note:
Each servo valve is subjected to functional tests prior to
delivery. This functional test is documented in test reports,
which can be ordered when a valve is purchased.
Commissioning must be carried out by specialist personnel
using the relevant calibration equipment.
Depending on the size and the requirements of an installation,
the customer's operating personnel may carry out the
commissioning (provided that they have a sufficient experience
with hydraulics or have completed a corresponding training
course).
2. Flushing of the system
The system must be flushed without the servo valves being
fitted. Instead of the servo valves use either flushing plates or, if
the system allows, directional valves of the same size (symbol G
or H), thus, allowing also the service lines and the actuator to
be flushed. With an external pilot oil supply make sure that this
line is also flushed.
In order to obtain the required minimum cleanliness the
hydraulic system must be flushed for a sufficiently long time.
The oil volume in the system should be flushed through the
filter at least 150 to 300 times. As a rough guide, the flushing
time may be calculated as follows:
V
t x 2.5 to 5
q
V
With:
t = flushing time in hours
V = tank capacity in litres
q
V
= pump flow in L/min
A decisive factor for the flushing time is the degree of
contamination of the hydraulic fluid according to paragraph
6.2., which can only be determined by continuous monitoring
by means of a particle counter.
When changing over to special fluids, which are not compatible
or cannot be mixed with the hydraulic fluids used so far, the
required flushing time may be considerably longer.
During the flushing procedure, check all the filters at short
intervals and, if required, replace the filter elements.
3. Rules for correct installation
3.1. Cleanliness
When installing or removing valves, take care that the
immediate area is clean.
The tank must be fitted with a filler breather to prevent
external contamination from entering the tank and to permit
the fluid level to vary according to system requirements. For
servo systems a pore size of 5 m is recommended.
Piping and reservoir must be cleaned of dirt, scale, swarf, etc.
before being installed into the system.
Hot-bent or welded pipes must then be pickled, flushed and
oiled.
Use only lint-free cloth or special paper for cleaning.
3.2 Valve assembly
When assembling the valve care is to be taken, to ensure that
the valve and subplate mounting surfaces are dry and free of
oil. If it is not possible to carry out the assembly without oil
being present then the fixing screws must be tightened
manually, not with the aid of power tools. If there are more
than four fixing screws then care should be taken to ensure that
the centre screws are tightened first.
By adhering to these procedures it is ensured that the seal rings
correctly seal against the valve connection surface..
3.3. Sealing materials such as hemp, putty or sealing tape are not
permissible.
3.4. Hoses, especially for the connection to the actuator, should be
avoided wherever possible.
3.5. The connecting lines to the actuator should be kept as short
as possible. We recommend that the servo valve is mounted
directly onto the actuator. The required finish of the mounting
face is as follows:

3.7. Before installing the valve, compare the nameplate of the
valve with the ordering data.
3.8. Install the servo valves after completion of the flushing
procedure and observe strictest cleanliness.
Remove the protective cover from the servo valve only
immediately prior to the installation of the valve and keep it
safe for possible maintenance work (paragraph 7.3) in the
future.
3.9. Tighten the fixing screws to the torque specified in the data
sheet.
3.10.All hydraulic functions must first be tested at low pressures
under controlled conditions.
To facilitate commissioning and trouble-shooting, battery or
mains powered control units are available for the servo
valves.
4. Installation position
A horizontal position is preferred, but the possible spool
position in relation to the type of feedback being used must be
taken into account.
If the servo valve is mounted directly onto an actuator, a
position in which the valve spool is in parallel to the actuator's
direction of acceleration should be avoided.
5. Electrical connection
For the electrical connection, please refer to the relevant data
sheet. The servo valve can be operated in parallel or series
circuits. For reasons of operational safety and to reduce the coil
inductivity we recommend that a parallel circuit is used.
Special types of electrical insulation require special measures
to be taken to ensure the safe operation of the system.
6. Commissioning
6.1. Hydraulic fluid
The preferred fluid is mineral oil to DIN 51 524. Other hydraulic
fluids on enquiry. In order to protect the hydraulic fluid the
manufacturer's recommendations concerning maximum
temperatures should be observed. In order to obtain constant
response characteristics from the system, it is recommended
that the fluid temperature should be held constant ( 5 C).
3.6. Pipes should be seamless precision pipes to DIN 2391/C in
order to ensure the required pressure resistance.
6.2. Filtration
Install a filter with high pressure differential without by-pass,
if possible with a clogging indicator, immediately before the
servo valve (possibly a sandwich plate filter).
Permissible maximum degree of contamination of the
hydraulic fluid for internally pilot operated valves: Class 7 to
NAS 1638.
For externally pilot operated valves, the permissible maximum
degree of contamination in the X-line is: Class 7 to
NAS 1638; in the P-line: Class 9 to NAS 1638.
When changing the filter observe absolute cleanliness:
Contamination on the inlet side reduces the service life of
the filter elements.
Contamination on the outlet side of the filter will be flushed
into the system and eventually cause the system to
completely break down.
6.3. As part of the final inspection in the factory, the hydraulic
zero point of every valve is adjusted. However, in order to
obtain an optimum control quality for the specific
application, it may be necessary to re-adjust the hydraulic
zero point either on the valve or in the closed loop control
electronics.
7. Maintenance
7.1. If the tank volume is topped up by more than 10 % or if an
oil change is carried out, the system must again be flushed
according to paragraph 2.
7.2. Contamination in the flapper jet system is caused by
insufficient system filtration of the hydraulic fluid.
Without special knowledge of servo valves, servicing is
limited to changing the protective filter inside the valve and
to re-adjusting the valve zero point.
7.3. Return of valves for repair
When returning a defective servo valve, it is necessary to fix a
clean protective plate (see paragraph 3.7) to the base of the
valve. Careful packaging is advisable in order to prevent any
damage during transportation.
7.4. Storage
When storing servo valves for periods longer than 6 months,
they should be filled with a clean preservative oil.
Storage rooms must meet the following requirements: dry,
dust-free, low humidity, free of corrosive materials and
vapours, and no wide temperature fluctuations.

Installation, commissioning and
maintenance of proportional valves
RE 07800/07.05
Replaces: 12.02
1. General
Before commissioning proportional valves, observe the
notes in the following data sheets:
Associated data sheet
German standard DIN 24346
ISO standard ISO 4413
2. System flushing
With external pilot oil supply, it must be ensured that this
port is also flushed.
The hydraulic fluid volume contained in the system should
be flushed at least 150 to 300 times through the filter.
This results in the following flushing time guideline:
Where:
t = flushing time in hours
V = tank capacity in litres
q
V
= pump flow in l/min
V
t x 2.5 to 5
q
v
The decisive factor for the flushing time is the degree of
contamination of the hydraulic fluid according to section
4.3. The hydraulic system must be flushed until the re-
quired minimum cleanliness is achieved. This is only pos-
sible with permanent monitoring with the help of a parti-
cle counter.
When changing over to special fluids, which are not com-
patible or miscible with the hydraulic fluid used so far,
considerably longer flushing times may be required.
During flushing, check all filters at short intervals and
change the filter elements as required.

3. Installation
3.1 Rules for the installation
Before installing the valve in the system, compare the
type designation of the valve with the ordering data.
Cleanliness:
Ensure cleanliness of both, the surroundings and
the proportional valve when installing the compo-
nent
The tank must be sealed against external contami-
nation
Clean pipes and tanks from dirt, scale, sand, chips,
etc. before installing the valve
Hot-bent or welded pipes must be pickled, flushed
and oiled
Use only lint-free cloth or special paper for cleaning
Sealing materials such as hemp, putty or sealing tape
are not permitted.
In the interest of obtaining high stiffness, hoses
between valves and the actuators should be avoided.
Use seamless precision steel pipes to DIN 2391/
parts 1 and 2 for the pipework.
The connecting pipes between the actuator and the
valve should be as short as possible; we recommend
the installation of the hydraulic valve as close as pos-
sible to the actuator. The mounting face must feature
a surface quality of R
t max
4 m and a flatness of
0.01 mm/100 mm length.
Fixing screws must be of the dimensions and
strength class specified in the data sheet and be
tightened to the prescribed tightening torque.
As a filler/breather filter we recommend a filter with
the same mesh width as the filters used in the hy-
draulic system!
3.2. Valve mounting
When mounting the valve, take care that the base of
the valve and the subplates are dry and free from oil.
If mounting without the presence of oil is impossible,
the fixing screws must generally be tightened manually
and not with the aid of power tools. In the case of more
than 4 fixing screws, care should be taken to tighten
the central screws first.
This ensures that the seal rings seal correctly on the
valve mounting face.
3.3. Installation orientation
Preferably horizontal; however, if the proportional valve
is to be mounted onto an actuator, see to it that the
valve spool is not arranged in parallel to the direction of
acceleration of the actuator.
3.4. Electrical connection
For the electrical connection, please refer to the rel-
evant data sheet.
Special types of protection require special measures
that are described in the relevant data sheet.
4. Commissioning
4.1. Hydraulic fluid
Observe the recommendations given in the data sheet!
Observe pressure and temperature ranges!
In general, the following fluids can be used:
Mineral oil to DIN 51524 (HL; HLP)
1)
Fast bio-degradable hydraulic fluids to VDMA 24568
(see also RE 90221)
HETG (rape seed oils)
1)
HEPG (polyglycols)
2)
HEES (synthetic esters)
2)
Other hydraulic fluids on enquiry!
1)
Suitable for NBR and FKM seals
2)
Suitable only for FKM seals
Whenever possible, the maximum temperatures recom-
mended by the manufacturer should not be exceeded
in order to the spare the hydraulic fluid. To ensure sta-
ble response characteristics of the system, it is recom-
mended that the hydraulic fluid temperature be kept
constant ( 5 C).
4.2. Are the seal materials used compatible?
For hydraulic fluids (e.g. HEPG and HEES) and in the
case of tem pe ra tu res > 80 C FKM seals must be
used (identified with V in the type code).
4.3. Filtration
Reliable supply filtration (10 m absolute) prolongs
the service life of the pilot control.
Please take also note of the recommendations for
the max. permissible degree of contamination of the
hydraulic fluid to ISO 4406 (c) in our data sheet.
The permissible maximum differential pressure across
the filter element must not be exceeded.
We recommend filters with clogging indicators.
Observe strictest cleanliness when changing filters.
Contamination on the outlet side of the filters is
flushed into the system and cause malfunction.
Contamination on the inlet side reduces the service
life of the filter element.
4.4. Operating pressure for the pilot valve
For pilot operated proportional directional valve type
WRZ:
The pilot pressure must not be less than 30 bar. If
the pilot pressure exceeds 100 bar, a sandwich plate
pressure reducing valve must be installed in the sup-
ply line. Pressure surges from the tank line can be
avoided with the help of a check valve.
For other pilot operated proportional directional
valves:
The pilot pressure for other proportional directional
valves can be found in our data sheet.

4.5 Solenoid bleeding
To ensure proper functioning, the valve must be bled at
the highest point during commissioning. Depending on
the installation situation, draining of the tank line must
be prevented by installing a preload valve.
5. Maintenance
5.1. Return of the valve for repair purposes
When returning a defective valve, the base of the valve
must be protected against contamination.
Careful packaging is recommended to prevent any fur-
ther damage in transit.

1 Product-specific information
1.1 General information
Hydraulic cylinders are manufactured in accordance with Directive 89/37/EC (EC MCD) in the valid issue
and associated technical regulations.
According to EC MCD and EN 982 this hydraulic cylinder is a component that is not ready for use and
intended exclusively for integration into a machine or system.
According to the Pressure Equipment Directive hydraulic cylinders are not classified as pressure equip-
ment, but as hydraulic actuators, since it is not the pressure that is the essential design factor, but strength,
inherent stability and stability against static and dynamic operating stresses.
These operating instructions are intended to provide information and avoid risks when
hydraulic cylinders are being installed in the machine and to provide information and
notes on the transport, storage and maintenance of hydraulic cylinders.
Only when these operating instructions are strictly observed can damage to property be avoided
and trouble-free operation of the hydraulic cylinders ensured.
Moreover, observing the operating instructions results in the following:
Reduced downtimes and repair cost,
increased service life of the hydraulic cylinders.
Warning
These operating instructions are not a substitute for the operating instructions of the
complete machine.
The installation of hydraulic cylinders in a machine results in changes in the risk potentials due to the in-
teractions between the hydraulic cylinders and the complete machine. In particular the influence of hydrau-
lic and electrical controls on hydraulic drives that generate mechanical movements results in the necessity
of a risk analysis and operating instructions for the complete machine.
If the cylinder is to be installed in a hydraulic system that is provided by BR, observe
operating instructions AB01-01.02 : 2003-02-24.
Definitions:
Maximum operating pressure The highest pressure at which the system or parts of the system may be
operated under uniform (steady-state) conditions.
Drive The hydraulic cylinder is used for converting the energy of the hydraulic me-
dium into mechanical energy.
Mounting elements Components that are used for mounting hydraulic cylinders in the machine
or system are standardised in accordance with DIN/ISO or determined in
factory standards with regard to their dimensions. They are not necessarily
fatigue endurable (107 load cycles).
For the type of mounting , all load cases must be taken into account.
Remark:
The pressures specified for hydraulic cylinders may refer solely to the load
carrying capacity of the pressurised barrel, but not to the mounting element.
In this context, consult the manufacturer or supplier of the hydraulic cylinders.

1.3.4 Risk potentials
1.3.4.1 Water-endangering substances
The operation with water-endangering substances results in a hazard to waters.
According to the Water Resources Act (WHG) and the Ordinance on systems for handling water-en-
dangering substances (VAwS) the following is valid in Germany:
Hydraulic systems fall under the category of HBV systems (systems for the production, treatment and
utilisation of fluids).
According to 19 h section 1 S.1 No. 2.b WHG, section. 2, the suitability needs not to be established
for systems and no design approval is required, if the water-endangering substance is used in the oper-
ating cycle. This is valid for hydraulic systems.
Unless specified otherwise, hydraulic systems are intended for use with mineral oil according to
DIN 51524 part 2. These mineral oils are usually classified in water-endangering class 2.
19 I of the Water Resources Act (WHG) stipulates for systems, in which water-endangering sub-
stances are used, that these may only be installed, erected, serviced and cleaned by specialist compa-
nies. Bosch Rexroth AG, Lohr am Main, is a member of the Fachbetriebsgemeinschaft Maschinenbau
e.V. (Association of specialist companies of the machinery construction sector) and therefore a special-
ist company in accordance with 19 i WHG.
For further information, see AB 01-02.15
1.3.4.2 Potentially explosive atmosphere
Rexroth hydraulic cylinders may only be used in potentially explosive atmospheres, if they are designed for
this purpose and this is expressly documented in the product-specific documentation.
Note:
Directive 94/9/EC (also referred to as ATEX 100), sets out the use of equipment and protective systems in
potentially explosive atmospheres.

2.5 Responsibilities and duties of the machine manufacturer/operator
The operating instructions do not include in-house operating instructions that are to be created
by the operator/entrepreneur and refer to the correct behaviour in the company to prevent risks
of accident and danger to health and the environment.
Bosch Rexroth AG points out that the scope of supply is exclusively intended for integration into
a machine or assembly with other components to provide a machine.
Warning
Commissioning of the scope of supply is not permitted until it has been established that
the machine, into which the scope of supply is to be integrated, complies with all regula-
tions of all relevant EU Directives.
These operating instructions form the basis for the operating instructions for the complete machine
that are to be created by the machine manufacturer.
These operating instructions must be read, understood and observed in all aspects by responsible person-
nel and personnel giving effect to instructions.
They must be kept in the direct vicinity of the hydraulic system at a place that is known and accessible to
the personnel at any time.
In Germany, hydraulic systems that are operated with mineral oil (DIN 51524; usually WGK (water en-
dangering class) 2) are systems for handling water-endangering substances in the sense of the Water
Resources Act.
Hydraulic systems fall under the category of HBV systems (systems for the production, treatment and
utilisation of fluids).
According to 19 h section 1 S.1 No. 2.b WHG, section. 2, the suitability needs not to be established for
systems and no design approval is required, if the water-endangering substance is used in the operating
cycle. This is valid for hydraulic systems.
The statutory obligations of operators of a water-endangering system (WHG 19 i) are laid down in the
relevant VawS for each federal state.

3 Transport and storage
3.1 Transport
Depending on their size and the situation on site, hydraulic cylinders can be transported using a forklift
truck or lifting gear.
When handling and lifting hydraulic cylinders, observe the following guidelines:
Hydraulic cylinders should be transported in the horizontal position while being supported on secured
wooden blocks or, if possible, in their original packaging.
Use soft lifting belts to prevent damage to the preservation. The use of chains and carbine swivels is
permitted only in conjunction with the lifting eyes provided.
Due to tolerances, the weight to be lifted could be approx. 10 % greater than specified on the drawing or
in the catalogue documentation.
Caution
Observe the general safety regulations for transport.
Rexroth hydraulic cylinders are despatched without oil fill. Due to the final test in the factory, a residual
amount of oil remains in the product (for deviations, see 3.2.1 Increased internal corrosion protection
through filling).
3.1.1 Transport using a forklift truck
Add-on parts (components, pipework, etc.) must not be used for lifting.
Position the fork under the hydraulic cylinder,
carefully raise the cylinder and ensure a stable position with regard to the centre of gravity.
3.1.2 Transport using lifting gear
Add-on parts (components, pipework, etc.) must not be used for lifting purposes.
Suitable lifting gear is to be attached to hydraulic cylinders with lifting eyes,
carefully lift the cylinder and observe a stable position with regard to the centre of gravity
(see loading regulations, transport devices, lifting equipment AB 02-70.01).

10/28 Bosch Rexroth AG Industrial Hydraulics Operating instructions for hydraulic cylinders
3.2 Storage
3.2.1 Corrosion protection provided in the factory
As a standard, Rexroth hydraulic cylinders are tested with mineral oil HLP 46 to DIN 51524 part 2. The oil
film that is left over after testing ensures a short-time internal corrosion protection. In the case of longer
storage times, preservative oil is used as an optional alternative. Increased internal corrosion protection is
achieved by filling internal chambers with preservative oil.
3.2.2 Execution of internal preservation
Internal preservation of hydraulic cylinders is achieved through testing or filling with a preservative in ac-
cordance with the values listed in table 1.
Testing means short commissioning of the hydraulic cylinder followed by draining. All ports are connected
to the test bench during testing.
If preservation is required by filling with a preservative as specified in table 1, the hydraulic cylinder is filled
with the corresponding preservative after functional testing.
The line ports are plugged by means of screw plugs or flange covers. Components such as control devices
and filters that may be built on or installed must also be filled with the relevant protective agent.
When storing filled hydraulic cylinders, the customer must connect a pipe from the line connection of the
annulus chamber to the line connection of the piston chamber.
Hydraulic cylinders with oil fill must not be exposed to direct sunlight, since due to the increase in ambient
temperature the hydraulic pressure in the hydraulic cylinder rises.

Industrial Hydraulics Bosch Rexroth AG RE 07100-B/10.04 11/28
3.2.3 Notes on external preservation
External preservation (corrosion protection) is achieved with coating substances according to AB 01-
03.05.
In the case of storage periods up to 6 months in dry rooms at even temperatures, the primer coating is suf-
ficient for external preservation.
In the case of storage periods of more than 6 months, a corresponding finish coating must be provided
(see AB 01-03.05).
Unprotected parts such as fitting surfaces or mechanical interfaces must be protected using Tectyl Valvo-
line 894 or a similar protective agent.
Spherical or other bearings must be wrapped in Densoband or similar and then packed in plastic material
to protect them against humidity.
3.2.4 Inspection during storage
To ensure that the condition of the cylinder does not deteriorate during storage, the following conditions
must be fulfilled:
The cylinder must be thoroughly inspected once a year. Here, the following points are of particular impor-
tance:
Preservation; check for damage ad corrosion
Hydraulic fluid; check for oxidation or souring
Inspection and greasing of spherical bearings that require maintenance
Inspection and preservation of fitting surfaces or mechanical interfaces
In addition, the cylinder must be extended or retracted by several centimetres once a year to prevent bond-
ing of seals. Depending on the results, corrective measures may be required.
To prevent damage to seals, we recommend that the cylinders be rotated through 90 every six weeks.
3.2.5 Note on packed hydraulic cylinders
If teh packaging is opened for checking purposes, they must be carefully reclosed.
In the case of seaworthy packaging, a new drying agent is to be added.
For further information about internal preservation, see AB 01-02.11
4 Description of hydraulic cylinders
This chapter contains an overview of technical data of hydraulic cylinders according to valid catalogues
and/or installation drawings as well as a general description of the most important components of the
cylinders.
4.1 Technical data
See current catalogue documentation, descriptions and valid drawings of the individual hydrau-
lic cylinders.
87
01
12/28 Bosch Rexroth AG Industrial Hydraulics Operating instructions for hydraulic cylinders
4.2 General description of hydraulic cylinders
A hydraulic cylinder converts hydraulic energy into a linear movement. The driving force is determined by
the hydraulic pressure in the cylinder chamber and the piston and annulus areas of the cylinder.
The hydraulic cylinder consists of the following main and functional parts:
Piston rod
Piston
Cylinder head
Cylinder barrel
Cylinder cap
Tie rods / screws
External mounting elements
Seals
Guide rings / bushings
Cushioning bushings
The main parts can vary depending on the cylinder series.
4.2.1 Piston rod
The piston rod of the hydraulic cylinder is made of steel; the surface (running face) is finely machined and
coated with a chrome layer.
The basic material determines the mechanical properties of the piston rod.
The piston rod surface is decisive for the running characteristics and has a major influence on the service
life of the seals.
A wrench face is usually provided for mounting purposes.
For the selection and determination of the piston rod diameter, a whole series of parameters must be taken
into account.
The following parameters are of particular importance for the selection:
Buckling safety on the basis of the given pressure force and installation position.
Stresses incurring as a result of compressive and tensile forces.
Geometric requirements with regard to the mounting type of the piston and mounting on the machine /
structure that is to be driven.
To prevent leakage between the rod surface and the cylinder head (piston rod guide), it is essential that
the fine-machined piston rod surface is handled with the greatest care possible. Damage to the piston rod
surface can result in damage to the seals and corrosion of the basic material, which deteriorates the seal-
ing effect.
4.2.2 Piston
Since the piston is guided in the cylinder barrel, concentric running of the piston rod is ensured. Pistons
are often designed so that they are bolted directly onto the piston rod or connected to the piston rod by
means of a threaded ring.
The piston is mounted on the piston rod in a way that unintentional loosening is prevented with greatest
security. Depending on the series, this is ensured by means of a certain tightening torque or bonding (Loc-
tite) and an additional mechanical securing feature (see also spare parts list and catalogue of the relevant
series).
On double and single-acting cylinders, the piston ensures the separation of the cylinder chambers on the
cap and rod side.
The piston is required for transmitting forces. The gap between the piston and the cylinder barrel that is re-
quired for the movement is sealed by means of a piston seal. The narrow gap of fit between the piston and
the piston rod is sealed by means of an R-ring or sealant (e.g. Loctite). The piston is made of grey casting,
spheroidal cast iron, steel or bronze.
88
Industrial Hydraulics Bosch Rexroth AG RE 07100-B/10.04 13/28
4.2.3 Cylinder head
The cylinder head incorporates many functions in one or several parts, e.g. guidance of the piston rod,
external sealing of the cylinder by means of the piston rod seal, and prevents the ingress of dirt into the
cylinder with the help of the scraper.
Depending on the different design principles, the cylinder head is in most cases bolted, flanged or mount-
ed by means of a tie rod to the cylinder barrel.
When the piston rod extends, the piston can touch the head. In this case, the compressive force of the
cylinder and the possible external load is absorbed by the cylinder head. Depending on the series and ver-
sion, the cylinder head can be made of spheroidal cast iron or steel.
The following functional elements can be integrated in the cylinder head:
Line connection
Piston rod seal and scraper
Guide rings or bushings
Throttle valves and check valves
Safety bleed or bleed points
Built-on valve blocks / pipework
Mounting elements
External mounting elements
4.2.4 Cylinder barrel
The cylinder barrel is made of steel and, with regard to nominal, operating and test pressures, is calculated
and dimensioned in accordance with the data in the valid catalogue documentation or the values specified
in the installation drawing. The internal running face is fine-machined.
The barrel expands due to internal pressure, which increases the gap at the piston seal. The wall thickness
of the cylinder barrel is designed so that the increase in the gap remains within the range of values that is
required for proper operation of the bearings and sealing of the piston.
4.2.5 Cylinder cap
The cylinder cap forms the end cover of the cylinder and, depending on the design principle, is bolted,
flanged, welded or mounted by means of a tie rod to the cylinder barrel.
When the cylinder retracts, the piston can touch the cap. In this case, the tensile force of the cylinder and
possible external load is absorbed by the cylinder cap. Depending on the series and version, the cylinder
cap can be made of spheroidal cast iron or steel.
The following functional elements can be integrated in the cylinder cap:
Line connection
Check valves and throttle valves
Safety bleed and bleed points
Built-on valve blocks / pipework
Mounting elements
4.2.6 Mounting elements
For the installation of a cylinder in a system or machine, at least two mechanical interfaces are required that
introduce the generated forces into the mounting elements of the structure.
The interfaces are standardised with regard to their dimensions and are not necessarily fatigue endurable
(107 load cycles).
Arrangement of mounting elements
Hydraulic cylinders must not be stressed by mounting faces, and thermal expansion must be possible. The
mounting type of hydraulic cylinders must allow ease of access for the purpose of maintenance, the adjust-
ment of cushioning features and the complete replacement of the hydraulic cylinder (excerpt from: E DIN
ISO 4413: 1999-10/ 6.2.2.1)
89
01
14/28 Bosch Rexroth AG Industrial Hydraulics Operating instructions for hydraulic cylinders
Fixing screws
Fixing screws for hydraulic cylinders and add-on parts must be designed and mounted so that they absorb
all foreseeable forces. The screws must be free from shearing stress as far as possible. Hydraulic cylinders
with foot mounting should be provided with other means for absorbing thrust forces than via the fixing
screws. The fixing screws must be able to absorb tilting moments.
(Excerpt from: E DIN ISO 4413: 1999-10/ 6.2.2.2). See also 1.1 Definitions.
In situations, where the cylinder must drive a rotating structure or in situations, where minor
alignment errors must be expected, mounting elements with spherical bearings are often used
(here, the calculation principles for spherical bearings must be observed).
4.2.7 Seals
Two types of seals that differ in terms of function are used in hydraulic cylinders:
Static seals are used between two parts that do not move in relation to each other, for example the seal
between the head and the barrel, the cap and the barrel, the piston and the piston rod. In general, the
seals used are O-rings or rectangular rings.
Dynamic seals are used between moving parts, for example the seal between the piston rod and the
cylinder head, and the seal between the piston and the cylinder barrel.
The seals used are listed in the valid catalogue documentation and spare parts lists that accompany the
seal kits.
4.2.8 Guide
The guide in the cylinder head and the piston guide ensure concentric running of the piston rod and the
cylinder barrel. Any transverse forces or stresses resulting from the hydraulic cylinders own weight are
introduced via the piston rod or the cylinder barrel into the guide.
Caution
Transverse forces must always be avoided!
Transverse forces that were not taken into account at the draft stage can shorten the service life
of guides and seals and affect proper operation of the hydraulic cylinder.
Depending on the series and version, hydraulic cylinders can be fitted with various types of guides, which
feature specific characteristics with regard to the permissible surface pressure, dry running characteristics
and resistance to wear. The guides mainly differ in the material used:
Guide directly in the cylinder head, e.g. spheroidal cast iron
Guide bushings, e.g. made of bronze or grey cast iron
Guide rings, e.g. made of compound material
4.2.9 End position cushioning
The task of end position cushioning is to reduce the kinetic energy of a mass that is moved by the cylinder
to a level at which neither the cylinder nor the machine or system, into which the cylinder is integrated, is
damaged.
Self-aligning end position cushioning causes a controlled deceleration (braking) in the end positions.
When adjustable end position cushioning is used, it must be noted that the full cushioning performance
can only be achieved when the throttle valve is closed.
Always observe the data given in the valid data sheets.
90
Industrial Hydraulics Bosch Rexroth AG RE 07100-B/10.04 15/28
4.2.10 Proximity switches
Inductive proximity switches are used for monitoring the end positions of hydraulic cylinders. They operate
contact-less and are therefore wear-free.
Proximity switches are factory-set so that they output a signal when the switching area is passed in the
cylinder. The switching point is usually located between 1 and 5 mm before the end of the stroke.
Warning
For safety reasons, the proximity switch must not be screwed in too deep. Adjustments may
therefore only be made in the relevant end positions. Proximity switches must never be removed
while the cylinder is under pressure. When connecting electrical parts, always observe the
details given in the valid data sheets.
Proximity switches may only be installed and removed by a skilled worker (the associated work-
ing instructions must be observed).
Plug-in connectors must never be plugged or unplugged when under load (power applied).
4.2.11 Position measuring systems
Position measuring systems are used for measuring the position and travel of hydraulic cylinders. Depend-
ing on the series, position measuring systems of different types and versions can be used. Please observe
the information provided in the valid catalogue documentation.
Warning
Position measuring systems must never be removed while the cylinder is pressurised.
For electrical connections, always observe the information provided in the valid data sheets.
Position measuring systems may only be installed and removed by a skilled worker (the associ-
ated working instructions must be observed).
Plug-in connectors must never be plugged or unplugged when under load (power applied).
5 Commissioning
5.1 General notes
Caution!
In accordance with EC MCD Annex II B, commissioning is prohibited until it was established that the
machine, into which the hydraulic cylinder is to be installed, complies with the regulations of all relevant EU
Directives (see 2.5 Responsibilities and duties of the machine manufacturer / operator)
The assembly of components can result in other types of hazard. It is therefore indispensable to observe
the notes in the operating instructions for the complete machine.
This is valid in particular for Mechanical hazards EN 292-1 section 4.2, which can result from mechanical
movements initiated by the hydraulic system and drives (cylinder, motor).
5.1.1 Safety
Observe the fundamental safety notes in the operating instructions for hydraulic systems
AB-01-01.02: 2003-02-24 section 2.4.

91
01
16/28 Bosch Rexroth AG Industrial Hydraulics Operating instructions for hydraulic cylinders
5.1.2 Qualification of personnel
Commissioning may only be carried out by trained and instructed personnel who have a specific knowl-
edge of hydraulics (see 2.3 Qualification of personnel).
5.1.3 Cleanliness
When carrying out any kind of work, observe strictest cleanliness, for contamination causes faults and
can affect the safe operation of components. Before loosening fittings and components, clean the direct
surrounding area. All openings must be plugged with protective caps to prevent the ingress of dirt into the
system. Do not use waste cotton for cleaning.
5.1.4 Painting
If hydraulic systems are to be finish painted, care must be taken that elastic materials (seals, hoses, rubber-
metal connections, etc.), labels, displays and scales of measuring and control elements as well as the run-
ning faces of cylinders and contact faces of valves and connections are covered to prevent their painting.
5.2 Commissioning of function-tested hydraulic cylinders
5.2.1 Installation of hydraulic cylinders
5.2.1.1 Visual inspection for shipping damage and contamination
Improper storage can result in brittling of seals and gumming of the preservative oil (see 3.2.2 Execution of
internal preservation).
Mounting and alignment
Hydraulic cylinders should preferably be mounted so that the load acts axially on the centre line of the
hydraulic cylinder. The mounting elements must minimise
a) excessive deformation of the hydraulic cylinder due to pushing or pulling loads;
b) the introduction of lateral or bending loads;
c) swivelling speeds in the case of trunnion mounting that requires continuous external lubrication,
(Excerpt from: E DIN ISO 4413: 1999-10/ 6.2.2)
See also 4.2.6 Mounting elements.
Orientation
Mounting faces must be designed so that the cylinder is protected against torsion when installed. The
cylinder must be installed so that unwanted lateral loading is prevented during operation. (Excerpt from:
E DIN ISO 4413: 1999-10/ 6.2.2.3)
5.2.1.2 Installation of hydraulic cylinders and assemblies
Care must be taken to provide sufficient space for access, operation and maintenance and, with regard to
the arrangement and mounting of components and systems, to ensure stability and operational safety.
Hydraulic cylinders must be installed stress-free so that the supporting points and guides are not subject-
ed to unnecessary stress. Higher stresses can shorten the service life of supporting points and guides and
hence of the hydraulic cylinder.
Damage to the hydraulic cylinder and in particular to the piston rod must be prevented.

5.2.1.3 Connection of hydraulic drives
Connecting lines must be dimensioned in accordance with the performance data specified on the circuit
diagram.
Warning
The required nominal pressures for fittings and hose connections are sometimes higher
than the values specified in DIN EN ISO 8434-1. Use only components made by manufac-
turers who guarantee these higher nominal pressures.
Caution: Before commissioning, remove all plug screws and flange covers used for internal preservation!
Pipes must be freed from dirt, scales, chips, etc. before being installed. Especially welded pipes must be
bright inside and flushed. Do not use waste cotton for cleaning.
Observe the installation instructions of the fitting manufacturer. Recommend are fittings with a soft seal
and a screwed plug (pipe thread to ISO 1179-2, metric thread to ISO 9974-2). Sealants such as hemp
and putty are not permitted, because these can cause contamination and hence malfunction. Bosch
Rexroth recommends the pipe forming system Walform to AB 20-06 that cannot be torn out.
Hoses must comply with all relevant European and/or international standards.
5.2.2 Before commissioning
The basic contamination of the hydraulic fluid used must not exceed the max. permissible cleanli-
ness class.
The pipe system must be inspected by a specialist for its safe condition.
Observe the fundamental safety notes from the operating instructions for hydraulic sys-
tems AB-01-01.02: 2003-02-24 section 2.4.
5.2.3 Commissioning of a system
Open valves in the suction line, if provided.
Slowly start up drive motors; electric motors in the inching mode, combustion engines in the idle mode.
Observe the direction of rotation.
5.2.4 Flushing of a system
Hydraulic cylinders must not be connected to the hydraulic system while the system is being
flushed.
When installing the hydraulic system in the machine (mounting of components, line systems and drives)
make sure that the max. permissible cleanliness class to ISO 4406 class 21/18/15 is not exceeded in
the complete system.
Systems that include servo-valves = cleanliness class to ISO 4406 KL. 19/16/13 must be flushed. The
servo-valves must be substituted by flushing plates or directional valves of the same size. The system is
to be operated at operating temperature and at minimum pressures until the required cleanliness class
to ISO 4406 is achieved. Measure the cleanliness class using a particle counter.
Change filter elements as required.
Since air easily compresses, air that is entrapped in the hydraulic cylinder can affect the operability of
seals. Compressed air can result in the destruction of seals. To ensure proper functioning of the hydrau-
lic cylinder, it must be completely filled and bled.
Danger
A hydraulic cylinder that is bled poorly or not at all can cause dangerous situations!
93
01
18/28 Bosch Rexroth AG Industrial Hydraulics Operating instructions for hydraulic cylinders
Bleed the system / hydraulic cylinder at the bleed screws provided for this purpose or at the actuator
lines; if possible, at the highest point. Actuate control valves and extend and retract the actuator several
times. Slowly increase the load. Bleeding is completed when the oil does no longer foam in the tank,
the actuator does no longer perform jerky movements and no abnormal noise can be heard.
Since, due to different installation situations and hydraulic functions of the hydraulic cylinder or due to
the possibilities of the hydraulic system, a multitude of different situations are conceivable, we provide
here general instructions for filling and bleeding hydraulic cylinders.
If you are uncertain about how to fill and bleed your cylinder, please contact Bosch Rexroth,
Business Unit Service Automation or your local Rexroth Sales Organisation.
For filling and bleeding the cylinder, please proceed as follows (the starting point is a retracted hydraulic
cylinder in the horizontal position):
Have a clearly legible circuit diagram of the entire system at hand.
Filling and bleeding of the hydraulic cylinder may only be carried out by qualified and experienced em-
ployees.
Open the bleed screw on the rod side while the cylinder is depressurised.
If a minimess coupling is provided, you can bleed the cylinder by connecting a minimess hose to the
coupling (the minimess coupling is fitted with an internal check valve).
Adjust the hydraulic system so that the pressure in the hydraulic cylinder does not exceed approx. 5 bar.
Switch the hydraulic system on.
Actuate the control valves so that the hydraulic cylinder tends to retract at a very low velocity (pressure
on the piston rod side). Now the piston rod side of the hydraulic cylinder fills with oil and any existing air
will escape via the bleed connection or the minimess coupling.
After some time, foaming oil instead of air comes out. As soon as the oil does no longer contain air, that
is, does no longer foam, the hydraulic cylinder is sufficiently bled. Caution: This is only valid, if the bleed
point is located at the highest point.
Then switch the hydraulic system off and close the bleed screw.
Danger
Never remove hoses, couplings or components from a system or hydraulic cylinder that is
pressurised!
After having bled the hydraulic fluid on the rod side, proceed in the same way to bleed the cap side.
Open the bleed screw on the cap side of the depressurised hydraulic cylinder or connect a suitable
hose to the screw coupling, if available.
Switch the hydraulic system on.
Actuate the control valves so that the hydraulic cylinder tends to extend at a very low velocity (pressure
on the cap side). Now the cap side of the cylinder fills with oil and any existing air escapes via the bleed
connection or the screw coupling.
After some time, foaming oil instead of air comes out. As soon as the oil does no longer contain air, that
is, does no longer foam, the hydraulic cylinder is sufficiently bled. Caution: This is only valid, if the bleed
point is located at the highest point.
Then switch the hydraulic system off and close the bleed screw.
The hydraulic cylinder is now ready for operation.
Caution: Until the hydraulic system is bled completely, operate the hydraulic cylinder only at low pressures.
Observe the fluid level in the tank and top up oil, if required.
Danger
Use only approved hoses and couplings that are suitable for the maximum pressures that
can occur! Make sure that connections are sealed!
Once the cylinder is installed in the structure, the system filled with the correct hydraulic fluid and the
hydraulic cylinder properly bled, it can be commissioned.

Industrial Hydraulics Bosch Rexroth AG RE 07100-B/10.04 19/28
Observe the product-related and system-specific operating instructions.
Problems during commissioning; due to machine-specific conditions (weights, velocities, friction,
electrical control, command value feedforward, etc.), identical hydraulic cylinders can have different
operating or fault characteristics after having been installed in a machine.
The matrix for Causes of faults and their effects in hydraulic systems (AB-01-01.02: 2003-02-24 sec-
tion 5.2.5) provides valuable assistance for systematic troubleshooting and the localisation of faults.
5.3 Hydraulic fluid
Use only the hydraulic fluids that are specified in the catalogue documentation.
Observe the product-related and system-specific operating instructions.
6 Maintenance
According to DIN 31051 maintenance includes the sum of all measures for maintaining and restoring and
for establishing and assessing the actual condition of technical systems.
The tasks are subdivided into three sub-sections:
Maintenance: Measures for maintaining the desired condition
Inspection: Measures for establishing and assessing the actual condition
Repair: Measures for restoring the desired condition.
In this way, the operability of the hydraulic system and the hydraulic cylinder can be safeguarded in an
optimum and efficient manner.
Rexroth hydraulic systems and hydraulic cylinders offer the design-inherent preconditions for excellent op-
erability (operational reliability, service life). They require only little maintenance. However, this is essential
for their operability.
According to experience, 70 % of faults and damage that occurs on hydraulic systems are caused indi-
rectly by the hydraulic fluid. The primary inspection and maintenance effort is therefore reduced to examina-
tions and measures for maintaining the usefulness (condition, cleanliness class) of the hydraulic fluid.
6.1 Maintenance and inspection
6.1.1 General notes
6.1.1.1 Qualification of personnel
Maintenance work and inspections may only be carried out by trained and instructed personnel (see 2.3
Qualification of personnel)
6.1.1.2 Safety
Observe the fundamental safety notes in the operating instructions for hydraulic systems
AB-01-01.02 : 2003-02-24 section 2.4.
For the scope and time intervals for maintenance and inspection, see operating instructions for hydraulic
systems AB-01-01.02 : 2003-02-24 section 5.1.8
The recommendations are based on the following: Central European climate, medium stress and operating
conditions as well as usual environmental stress that can be found in metalworking companies.
95
01
20/28 Bosch Rexroth AG Industrial Hydraulics Operating instructions for hydraulic cylinders
6.1.1.3 Inspection documentation
It is recommended that inspection results be documented in order that
a) inspection and maintenance intervals can be adjusted to the actual operating conditions taking into ac-
count operability and efficiency,
b) it is possible to detect faults at an early stage due to comparative assessments.
A gradual increase in temperature and/or shorter filter change intervals indicate possible wear of pumps,
control lands, seals and aging of the hydraulic fluid and should give reason for the inspection of all of the
relevant components.
A sudden, strong increase in temperature is a warning sign and requires immediate inspection of the
system.
A further aspect is simpler handling of possible warranty claims.
6.2 Regular inspection of hydraulic cylinders
Usually, a hydraulic cylinder hardly requires any maintenance after commissioning. After a new system
was commissioned, regular checks are necessary in order to establish whether the hydraulic cylinder
operates properly. During these checks, take particular note of the following points:
Oil escaping from oil ports
Check for running traces or damage to the piston rod running face. Running traces can indicate con-
tamination of the hydraulic system or transverse loads acting on the hydraulic cylinder.
Damage to coatings
Possible leakage at the cylinder head or cylinder cap
Extreme temperatures and contamination shorten the service life of the hydraulic system. Ensure proper
and regular maintenance of the entire hydraulic system. Notes on specific requirements of the hydraulic
cylinder with regard to temperature and oil cleanliness can be found in section 3.1 Technical data and
the relevant data sheet. Any supplementary requirements can be found in the installation and mainte-
nance instructions for the hydraulic systems and in the data sheets of the hydraulic fluid used.
6.3 Maintenance of the piston rod
To prevent corrosion on the piston rod, the piston rod should always be retracted during downtimes.
When using hydraulic fluids such as HFD-R (phosphate ester), HFA or HFC (water glycol) in hydraulic
cylinders, maintenance must include the following activities:
General
The piston rod must always be covered by a preservative oil film. Take note of the compatibility of media.
Work out a specific schedule so that the open end of the piston rod is always covered with a protective
oil film in accordance with the relevant situation.
The preservative oil film is required to ensure corrosion protection of the portion of the piston rod that
protrudes to the open air. To this end, carry out the following preventive maintenance.
Preventive maintenance of the piston rod
1. Preventive maintenance should be carried out in a dry environment whenever possible. Remove any
salt, sand and machining residues and other dirt from the piston rod with fresh water. Do not use steam
jet cleaners or high-pressure water jets.
2. Preventive maintenance can only be carried out on a clean and dry piston rod. If sufficient time is not
available for drying the piston rod completely, have it dry as long as possible before carrying out the
maintenance work. Repeat the maintenance work as soon as you have sufficient time.
3. Wet a clean cloth with preservative oil of low viscosity. Apply the preservative oil with the cloth on the
entire piston rod.
Immediate maintenance of hydraulic cylinders and piston rods after contact with chemicals.
After contact with chemicals, immediate maintenance must be carried out as soon as possible. Immediate
maintenance comprises the following activities:
1. Solve and remove all residues of chemicals using a suitable cleaning agent.
2. Carry out the working steps of preventive maintenance.
96
Industrial Hydraulics Bosch Rexroth AG RE 07100-B/10.04 21/28
Frequency of maintenance
Preventive maintenance as described here should be carried out before first commissioning of the
hydraulic cylinder and then repeated on a monthly to weekly basis (under tropical conditions).
Preventive maintenance of hardly inflammable fluids (HFA, HFC, HFD).
The corrosion protecting properties of hardly inflammable fluids must permanently be within certain limit
values. It is therefore recommended that the fluid be analysed every three to four months. The manu-
facturer of the fluid should analyse fluid samples for their acidity, pH value, chlorine content, corrosion
products, content of bacteria and fungi, etc.
It is essential to make sure that the samples taken are representative for the entire fluid in the hydraulic
cylinder.
With regard to fluid maintenance follow the instructions of the relevant manufacturer.
6.4 Repair
6.4.1 General notes
6.4.1.1 Qualification of personnel
Repair work may only be carried out by trained and instructed personnel who has specific knowledge of
hydraulics (see 2.3 Qualification of personnel).
6.4.1.2 Safety
For safety reasons, line connections, ports and components must not be removed while the system is un-
der pressure. Loads must be lowered, pressure accumulators unloaded, pumps switched off and protected
against restarting. Observe the general safety regulations.
6.4.1.3 Cleanliness
When carrying out any work, observe strictest cleanliness. Before removing fittings and components,
clean the direct surroundings. Plug all openings with protective caps to prevent the ingress of dirt into the
system. Do not use waste cotton for cleaning.
6.4.2 Maintenance tasks
6.4.2.1 Troubleshooting
Detection of damage or preventive repair. Establishment and localisation of the (potential) source(s) of
faults.
Successful troubleshooting in a hydraulic system requires good knowledge of the structure and the
operating principle of the individual components. Especially the combination of hydraulics with electrics/
electronics usually makes troubleshooting a difficult task and necessitates the cooperation between electri-
cians and hydraulics specialists. The circuit diagram, parts list and, if possible, a function chart and other
documentation should be at hand.
A useful aid for systematic troubleshooting or identifying and localising faults is provided
by the matrix for Troubleshooting and its effects in hydraulic systems in the operating
instructions for hydraulic systems AB 01-01.02 : 2003-02-24 section 5.2.
97
01
22/28 Bosch Rexroth AG Industrial Hydraulics Operating instructions for hydraulic cylinders
6.4.2.2 Elimination of faults
is achieved primarily through the replacement of the defective component on site.
The components listed in the parts list (spare parts list) may only be replaced by new and tested
components of the same design and OEM quality.
Repairs of components are generally carried out by the manufacturer or his authorised workshop. If a repair
is provided in the component-specific operating instructions, the repair may also be carried out by the
operator, provided that the required specialised knowledge and equipment is available.
After rectification of the actual damage, the cause and consequential damage should in any case also
be eliminated. For example, after a failure of a component due to wear, the system should be flushed and
the oil cleaned or changed.
6.4.2.3 Function testing and acceptance
Depending on the scope of work, the commissioning steps should be carried out (see 4.).
As far as required, the documentation must be corrected/supplemented or notes be made in the service
manual in order to rule out/minimise these faults in the future through corresponding maintenance activi-
ties.
6.4.3 Removal of complete cylinders
Strictly observe the notes in the component-specific operating instructions, which accompany the spare
part.
Before starting work on the hydraulic cylinder, read the relevant chapters in the operating instructions.
In the case of tie rod cylinders, the tie rods assume the function of fixing screws and are not described
separately in the operating instructions.
The disassembly of hydraulic cylinders may only be carried out by qualified and experienced
personnel. In the case of queries or when in doubt, always contact Bosch Rexroth, Business
Unit Service Automation or your local Rexroth Sales Organisation.
General notes:
See also 5.2.1 Installation of hydraulic cylinders

Work on systems and hydraulic cylinders with accumulators is subject to a special duty of care, since
unprofessional behaviour results in severe accidents. Neither welding nor soldering work or any me-
chanical machining may be carried out on accumulator vessels.
Observe the notes in the operating instructions for the accumulator.
Before starting the disassembly of the accumulator, the latter must be depressurised on the oil
side.
Caution: Use only nitrogen as gas (purest nitrogen of class 4.0; N2 99.99 percent by volume)!
Warning
Work on systems that include accumulators is subject to a special duty of care, since
unprofessional behaviour can lead to severe accidents.
Neither welding nor soldering work or mechanical machining may be carried out on ac-
cumulator vessels.
See product-specific operating instructions for pressure accumulators.
98
Industrial Hydraulics Bosch Rexroth AG RE 07100-B/10.04 23/28
6.5 Before starting work
Opening of the hydraulic cylinder during the warranty period results in the expiration of
warranty claims !

Take the following measures before starting to work on the cylinder:
Make sure that a clearly legible assembly drawing/spare parts list and a copy of these operating instruc-
tions are at hand.
Provide clean, professional tools and a clean workplace.
The hydraulic cylinder must be transported in the horizontal position and be supported on wooden
blocks or, if possible, in its original packaging.
Use soft lifting belts to prevent damage. The use of chains and carbine swivels is permitted only, if used
in conjunction with the lifting eyes provided for this purpose.
Due to tolerances, the weight that is to be lifted can be approx. 10 % higher than specified on the draw-
ing or in the catalogue documentation.
See section 3. Transport and storage
Caution
Observe the general safety regulations for transporting.
While the hydraulic cylinder is being removed from the system, no dirt may enter into the hydraulic
system. The connection points must be properly sealed with steel plugs, flange covers or special plastic
plugs that are suitable for this purpose.
Damage to the hydraulic cylinder and especially to the piston rod must be prevented at any time.
Use a rugged supporting structure for depositing the hydraulic cylinder and the removed parts.
6.6 Draining of hydraulic fluid
Before disassembling the hydraulic cylinder, drain the hydraulic fluid.
As a result of a rise in ambient temperatures or heating up of the hydraulic cylinder due to direct sunlight,
the hydraulic pressure in the hydraulic cylinder may have increased.
Drain the hydraulic fluid carefully. Use the existing minimess ports or bleed points for draining the hydraulic
fluid.
Danger
Pressure traps may be present in the cylinder!
6.7 Disassembly of the hydraulic cylinder
Before the disassembly of the hydraulic cylinder can be started, the general conditions according to sec-
tion 6.1 must be fulfilled. Make sure that the preparatory work is carried out properly.
In order that parts of the hydraulic cylinder can be replaced, the latter must be disassembled.
Proceed as follows for the disassembly:
Drain the hydraulic fluid from the hydraulic cylinder (see 6.6 Draining of hydraulic fluid).
Remove the cylinder head. Detach the head from the barrel and let the rest of the hydraulic fluid drain
from the cylinder barrel. Then pull the piston rod out of the hydraulic cylinder, if required, with the help of
lifting belts. Position the piston rod on stable blocks that were provided specifically for this purpose and
prevent the piston rod from rolling away (use blocks with soft, rotating support, free from any dirt).
Warning
Never use compressed air for extending the piston rod!
99
01
24/28 Bosch Rexroth AG Industrial Hydraulics Operating instructions for hydraulic cylinders
If required, remove the locking mechanism between the cylinder eye and the piston rod and position the
wrench or hook wrench in the bore or area provided for this purpose. Sling the belt around the cylinder
eye so that it cannot fall down when it is loosened from the cylinder rod. Now turn the piston rod with the
help of the wrench until the cylinder eye loosens from the piston rod.
If required, remove the protective envelope from the piston rod. Attach lifting belts at the cylinder head
and slowly shove it off the piston rod (if the cylinder head is difficult to slide over the piston rod, turn it
slowly).
Remove the seals and thoroughly clean the cylinder head (old Loctite, dust particles, etc.) using a
degreasing agent. Also clean the piston rod thoroughly, for each dirt particle can damage the seal also
during assembly. Do not forget to clean the piston rod, cylinder eyes and the protective envelope.
6.8 General assembly instructions
Warning
Make sure that the individual parts, the tools and the grease to be used are clean. Dirt
results in damage to seals and other components in the hydraulic system!
6.8.1 Fitting of bolts (also applicable to tie rods
on tie rod cylinders)
The fitting of bolts requires heavy tooling. Make sure that sensitive surfaces are sufficiently protected, for
example by means of thick rubber strips.
Caution
Bolts that fall down or impacts with heavy tools can cause damage!
Bolts must be visually inspected before being installed:
for damaged threads
for contamination in the form of chips or burrs on the thread or head of the screw (very important when
used in the interior of the hydraulic cylinder)
for cracks on the head of the screw or at the transition between the head and the barrel of the screw.
When fitting the bolts, grease the threads to prevent corrosion and to allow the application of a defined
tightening torque. Insert the screw, tighten it by hand by a few turns. A pneumatic screw driver may be
used for further tightening.
The specified tightening torque must be applied using a calibrated torque wrench.
Caution
Contamination impairs the proper operation of hydraulic cylinders and other components
in the hydraulic system!
Tighten the screws to the tightening torque specified in the catalogue or on the drawing and observe the
following order:
First, tighten the four screws that are arranged at 90-degree angles crosswise.
Then, the complete graduated circle (including the pre-tightened screws) can be tightened to the speci-
fied tightening torque.
When screws made of stainless steel are used, we recommend the application of a slip additive.
100
Industrial Hydraulics Bosch Rexroth AG RE 07100-B/10.04 25/28
6.8.2 Securing using Loctite 243
Some of the screws and the piston in the interior of the hydraulic cylinder are secured by means of Loctite
243 in order to prevent loosening due to vibration. Loctite 243 is an anaerob single-package system that
cures when getting in contact with metal and deprives the connection from oxygen. After curing, the bond-
ing agent forms a stable connection between both surfaces.
Technical data of Loctite 243:
Thermal resistance up to 150 C
Average strength, that is, can be removed by means of normal tools (up to M36)
Cures to its full strength in 2 hours at room temperature
When fitting screws with Loctite, observe the following procedure:
Degrease the bores and screws using a brush and degreasing agent.
Blow the screws dry with oil-free compressed air.
Apply a sufficient amount of Loctite at the front in the bore. It is important that the thread is provided
with a Loctite film over the entire length when installed.
Insert the screws and tighten them to the specified tightening torque.
6.8.3 Mounting of guide strips
When mounting guide strips in the cylinder head and around the piston, observe strictest cleanliness of the
parts, the tools and the grease used. Any dirt residues get directly in the interior of the hydraulic cylinder,
where they can cause damage to dynamic seals or other components in the hydraulic cylinder.
When installing guide strips, observe the following:
Make sure that the recesses for the guide strips are dry.
Check the length and the form of the guide strips; there must always be a sufficient gap in order that
hydraulic pressure can reach the seals. Too small a gap can be a reason that the guide strip acts as
seal. The ends of the guide strip must always be cut at an angle of 60.
Apply a thin grease film to the recesses and then press the guide strips into the recesses.
The strip can now be carefully mounted; make sure that the guide strip is completely in contact with the
bottom of the groove.
6.8.4 Installation of piston rod seals
Piston rod seals are subjected to one-sided loads due to the pressure in the hydraulic cylinder; the pres-
sure applied on the inside is higher than on the outside. For this reason, piston rod seals are in most cases
of an asymmetric shape so that the correct installation position must be observed.
Warning
Observe the correct installation position of piston rod seals; seals that are installed the
wrong way round impair the proper function of the seal system and may result in leakage!
The correct position of the seals is indicated in the catalogue documentation.
The following overview shows the most common piston rod seals and the position, in which the seals must
be installed (piston/pressure side on the right-hand side).
Stepseal: Excluder: Chevron seal kit: Pressure


Before seals are installed, they should preferably be pre-heated to approx. 80 C in warm oil. This makes
stiff seals somewhat more flexible and easier to install.
101
01
26/28 Bosch Rexroth AG Industrial Hydraulics Operating instructions for hydraulic cylinders
For installing piston rod seals in an enclosed installation space, proceed as follows:
Place the O-ring into the recess.
Press the seal together to form a kidney shape without buckling it. See Figure a.
Insert the compressed seal into the installation space and press against the section of the seal that is
turned to the inside so that it reassumes its original shape. See Figure b.
Check that the seal is properly installed around its entire perimeter and not damaged.
Figure a Figure b

6.8.5 Installation of piston seals
Piston seals are subjected to alternating loads by the pressure in the hydraulic cylinder; depending on
the load, the piston-sided pressure has a higher or lower value than the pressure on the piston rod side.
For this reason, piston seals have a symmetric shape. However, this does not rule that seals could not be
installed the wrong way round.
Warning
Observe the correct installation position of the piston seal; installing the seal the wrong
way round impairs the function and may result in loss of the holding function!
The correct position of the seal is specified in the catalogue documentation.
The following overview shows the most common piston seals and the position, in which they must be
installed (piston / pressure side on the right-hand side).
Glyd-ring: Chevron seal kit (part): Pressure


It is recommend that seals that are to be installed in a groove be pre-heated to approx. 80 C in warm
oil. This makes stiff seals somewhat more flexible and easier to install. Chevron seal kits can be installed
directly.
102
Industrial Hydraulics Bosch Rexroth AG RE 07100-B/10.04 27/28
6.8.6 Installation of piston seals using expanding and calibrating sleeves
To ensure the correct installation of
glyd-ring seals in the piston groove, we
recommend the use of expanding and
calibrating sleeves.
Widen the seal with the help of the
expanding sleeve and then calibrate
it to the required dimension using the
calibrating sleeve.
Expanding and calibrating sleeves are
catalogue items of known seal manufac-
turers.
6.9 Assembly of hydraulic cylinders
Before starting to assemble hydraulic cylinders, the conditions according to section 6.8 must be fulfilled.
Take care that the preparations were properly made.
Observe the following order for the assembly:
Wet the piston rod with oil so that the cylinder head easily slides over the piston rod. Place the cylinder
head in front of the piston rod and slowly shove it over the piston rod (if the cylinder head moves stiffly
over the piston rod, slowly turn the piston rod or the cylinder head). Take care not to jam or damage the
guide strips and seals.
Wet the cylinder head, the cylinder bore, the piston seal and the O-ring seal with oil.
Now raise the piston rod and shove the piston slowly into the cylinder barrel.
Shove the cylinder head into the cylinder barrel. Please note that the cylinder head may no longer be
turned as soon as it is in the cylinder barrel in order not to damage the O-ring seal. Now grease the
screws and screw them in the bores provided. Tighten all screws manually and then crosswise to the
specified tightening torque (see section 6.8.1).
6.10 Required tools / required auxiliary material
For changing parts or wear parts of a cylinder, the following tools and materials are required:
Tools: Auxiliary material:
Allan key
Pneumatic screw driver
Calibrated torque wrench of sufficient power
Blocks with soft, rotating (plastic) pads

Installation, commissioning and mainte-
nance of hydraulic systems
1. General
1.1 Long service life and functional reliability of hydraulic systems
and their components depend on correct handling.
Ensure trouble-free operation by observing the following points:
The specific installation and operating instructions for the rel-
evant components
Special instructions in individual cases
Technical data in the data sheet.
In addition, we would like to draw your attention to the follow-
ing regulations:
Commissioning and maintenance of oil-hydraulic systems (VDI
3027)
German standard Hydraulic systems DIN 24 346
ISO standard ISO 4413
2. Installation
2.1 Preparatory work for the installation
Ensure that the system is clean!
For the surroundings:
Keep power units, line connections and components clean
or clean them (e.g. pickling after, for example, processes have
been carried out that involve heat, i.e. welding, hot bend-
ing, etc.)!
For hydraulic fluids:
Take care of contamination and humidity; contamination from
the environment must not enter the tanks!
Fill oil tanks only through filters, preferably system filters or
portable filter stations with fine filters.
Internal protective coatings, if any, must be resistant to the
hydraulic fluid used!
For parts taken from stock:
The storage of parts that were not filled or treated with anti-
corrosion fluid can lead to the formation of resin. Solve the
resin using a grease solvent and renew the lubricating film.
Check to see that all of the parts required for the installation
are available!
Take note of any transport damage!
2.2 Carrying out the installation
Use lifting lugs and transport facilities!
Do not apply force to prevent transverse forces and tension on
pipes and components. The valve mounting surfaces must be
perfectly even. The fixing screws must be tightened evenly at
the specified torque.
Take care that pipes are adequately fixed!
When selecting pipes, hoses and fittings/flanges, observe the
correct pressure stage (wall thickness, material). Use only seam-
less precision steel pipes.
Do not use hemp or putty as sealing materials! This may cause
contamination and thus malfunction.
To prevent external leakage, observe the installation instruc-
tions of the pipe fittings manufacturer. We recommend the
use of fittings with elastic seals.
Make sure that hoses are properly laid! Rubbing and abutting of
the lines must be prevented.
Provide the correct hydraulic fluids.
Mineral oils: HLP hydraulic oils according to DIN 51 524 part 2
are generally suitable for standard systems and components.
Fast bio-degradable hydraulic fluids: VDMA 24 568.
For these fluids, the system and components must be matched.
Hardly inflammable hydraulic fluids: VDMA 24 317. For these
fluids, the system and components must be matched. (Before
filling in the special media, check, whether the system is com-
patible with the intended fluid.)
The following points must be observed in accordance with the rel-
evant requirements:
Viscosity of the hydraulic fluid
Operating temperature range
Type of seals used on the components fitted
3. Commissioning
When the installation has been carried out correctly, proceed
with commissioning and functional testing.
3.1 Preparations for trial run
Tank cleaned?
Lines cleaned and properly installed?
Fittings, flanges tightened?
Lines and components correctly connected in line with instal-
lation drawings and circuit diagram?
106
RE 07 900/12.02 2/4
Is the accumulator filled with nitrogen? Fill in nitrogen until
the pre-charge pressure p
0
as specified in the circuit diagram
is reached. (On the fluid side the system must be pressure-
less!). It is recommended that the gas pre-charge pressure is
marked on the accumulator itself (e.g. self-adhesive label) and
in the hydraulic circuit so that a comparative check is possible,
if required.
Caution! Use only nitrogen as pre-charge gas!
Accumulators must comply with the safety regulations valid at
the place of installation.
Are the drive motor and pump properly installed and aligned?
Is the drive motor correctly connected?
Are filters with the prescribed filter rating used?
Are filters fitted in the correct direction of flow?
Has the specified hydraulic fluid filled up to the upper mark-
ing?
As the hydraulic fluids often do not comply with the required
cleanliness, the fluids must be filled through a filter. The abso-
lute filter rating of the filling filter should be at least that of
the filters installed in the system.
3.2 Trial run
For safety reasons, only personnel of the machine manufac-
turer and, if required, maintenance and operating personnel
should be present.
All pressure relief valves, pressure reducing valves, pressure
controllers of pumps must be unloaded. An exemption to this
are TV-set valves.
Open isolator valves completely!
Switch the system on briefly and check whether the direction
of rotation of the drive motor matches the prescribed direc-
tion of rotation of the pump.
Check the position of the directional valves and, if necessary,
move the spool to the required position.
Set the control spool to by-pass.
Open suction valves of the pump. If required for design rea-
sons, fill pump housing with hydraulic fluids to prevent bear-
ings and parts of the rotary group from running dry.
If a pilot oil pump is provided, commission it
1)
.
Start up the pump, swivel it from its zero position and listen
for any noises.
Swivel the pump slightly out (ca. 5)
1)
.
Bleed the system
Carefully loosen fittings or bleed screws at high points in the
system. When the escaping fluid is free from bubbles, then the
filling process is completed. Re-tighten fittings.
Flush the system; if possible, short-circuit actuators. Flush the
system until the filters remain clean; check the filters!
With servo-systems, the servo-valves must be removed and
replaced by flushing plates or directional valves of the same
size. Short-circuit the actuators. During flushing, the hydraulic
fluid in the complete hydraulic system should reach tempera-
tures that are at least as high as later during operation. Change
the filter elements as required.
Flushing continues until the required minimum cleanliness is
reached. This can only be achieved by continuous monitoring
using a particle counter.
Check the system functions under no-load conditions, if pos-
sible, by hand; cold-test the electrohydraulic control.
When the operating temperature has been reached, test the
system under load; slowly increase the pressure.
Monitor control and instrumentation equipment!
Check the housing temperature of hydraulic pumps and hy-
draulic motors.
Listen for noises!
Check the hydraulic fluid level; if required, top up!
Check the setting of pressure relief valves by loading or brak-
ing the system.
Inspect the system for leaks.
Switch off the drive.
Retighten all fittings, even if there is no evidence of leakage.
Caution! Only tighten fittings when the system is de-
pressurised!
Is the pipe fixing adequate, even under changing pressure
loads?
Are the fixing points at the correct positions?
Are the hoses laid so that they do not chamfer, even under
pressure load?
Check the fluid level.
Test the system for all functions. Compare measured values
with the permissible or specified data (pressure, velocity. Ad-
just further control components).
Jerky movements indicate, amongst other things, the presence
of air in the system. By briefly swivelling the pump in one or
both directions with the actuator being loaded or braked, it is
possible to eliminate certain air pockets. The system is com-
pletely bled when all functions are performed jerk-free and
smoothly and the surface of the hydraulic fluid level is free
from foam. Experience has shown that foaming should have
ceased one hour after start-up at the latest.
Check the temperature.
Switch off the drive.
Remove filter elements (off-line and full-flow filters) and in-
spect them for residues. Clean filter elements or replace them,
if required. Paper or glass fibre elements cannot be cleaned.
If further contamination is found, additional flushing is re-
quired to prevent premature failure of the system components.
All the adjustments made are to be recorded in an acceptance
report.
3.3 Commissioning of fast running systems
Such system can often not be commissioning using the normal
measuring instruments (such as pressure gauges, thermometers,
electrical multimeters, etc.) and standard tools. Optimization is
also not possible.
These systems include, for example, forging presses, plastics
injection moulding machines, special machine tools, rolling tools,
crane controls, machines with electrohydraulic closed-loop con-
trol systems.
Commissioning and optimization of these systems often require
more comprehensive measuring equipment to allow several
measurements to be taken at a time (e.g. several pressures,
electrical signals, travel, velocities, flows, etc.).

3.4 The most common faults occurring during commissioning
Apart from servicing, commissioning is very decisive for the serv-
ice life and functional reliability of a hydraulic system.
For this reason, faults during commissioning must be avoided
as far as possible.
The most common faults are:
The fluid tank is not inspected.
The hydraulic fluid is not filtered before being filled in.
The installation is not checked before commissioning (subse-
quent conversion with loss of fluid!).
System components are not bled.
Pressure relief valves are set only slightly higher than the op-
erating pressure (closing pressure differential is not observed).
Pressure controllers of hydraulic pumps are set higher or to
the same pressure as the pressure relief valve.
The flushing time of servo systems is not adhered to.
Abnormal pump noise is ignored (cavitation, leaking suction
lines, too much air in the hydraulic fluid).
Transversal loads on cylinder piston rods are not observed (in-
stallation error!).
Hydraulic cylinders are not bled (damage to seals!)
Limit switches are set too low.
The switching hysteresis of pressure switches is not taken into
account when settings are made.
Hydraulic pump and hydraulic motor housings are not filled
with hydraulic fluid prior to commissioning.
Settings are not documented.
Adjustment spindles are not secured or sealed.
Unnecessary personnel present during commissioning of the
system.
4. Maintenance
According to DIN 31 051 the term maintenance includes the
following fields of activity:
Inspection
Measures to recognise and assess the actual situation, i.e. rec-
ognise how and why the so-called wear reserve continues to
decrease.
Maintenance
Measures to preserve the nominal conditions, i.e. to take pre-
cautions in order that the reduction in the wear reserve dur-
ing the useful life is kept as low as possible.
Repair
Measures to restore the nominal condition, i.e. compensate
for reduction in performance and restore the wear reserve.
Maintenance measures must be planned and taken in accord-
ance with the operating time, the consequences of a failure and
the required availability.
4.1 Inspection
The individual points to be inspected should be summarised
for a specific system in so-called inspection lists in order that
the inspections can be carried out adequately by employees
with different qualification levels.
Important points of inspection are:
Checking the hydraulic fluid level in the tank.
Checking the heat exchanger (air, water) for effectiveness.
Checking the system for external leakage (visual inspection).
Checking the hydraulic fluid temperature during operation.
Checking pressures
Amount of leakage
Checking the cleanliness of the hydraulic fluid
Caution!
Visual inspections can only give an approximation (clouding
of the hydraulic fluid, darker appearance than at the time of
filling, sediments in the fluid tank).
If conventional particle counting is impossible, the following three
methods can be used for establishing the fluid cleanliness:
Particle counts using electronic counting and sorting equip-
ment.
Microscopic examination.
Gravimetric establishment of solids by means of finest filtration
of a certain fluid volume (e.g. 100 ml) and weighing of the
filter paper before and after the filtration process. This allows
the establishment of the amount of solid particles in mg/l.
Check the contamination of filters. A visual inspection of deep
filters, which are widely used today, is no longer possible.
Analyse the chemical properties of the hydraulic fluid.
Check the temperature at points where bearings are located.
Check the generation of noise.
Test performance and velocity.
Inspect pipes and hoses.
Caution!
Damaged pipes and hoses must be immediately replaced.
Inspect accumulator stations.
4.2 Maintenance
In practice, inspection, maintenance and repair work is not as
strictly separated as the definitions may suggest. Servicing is
often done in conjunction with inspections.
For safety reason, pipe fittings, connections and components
must not be loosened or removed as long as the system is
pressurised.
Important service work is:
Create a maintenance book
We recommend that a maintenance book is created to lay
down the parts to be inspected.
Check the hydraulic fluid level
continuously during commissioning
shortly after commissioning
later, at weekly intervals
Inspect filters
during commissioning every two to three hours and, if nec-
essary, replace them.
daily during the first week and replace them as required.
After one week, the filters should be cleaned as required.
Maintenance of suction filters:
Suction filters require particularly thorough servicing. After
the running-in period, they must be inspected at least once
a week and cleaned, if necessary.

The data specified above only serve to describe the
product. No statements concerning a certain condition
or suitability for a certain application can be derived
from our information. The details stated do not release
you from the responsibility for carrying out your own
assessment and verification. It must be remembered that
our products are subject to a natural process of wear
and ageing.
Service the system fluid
Maintenance intervals depend on the following operating
factors:
- Hydraulic fluid condition (e.g. water in oil, strongly aged oil)
- Operating temperature and oil fill
We recommend that the fluid be changed in dependence
upon an oil analysis. With systems whose oil is not analysed
at regular intervals the fluid should be replaced every 2000
to 4000 operating hours at the latest.
Drain the system fluid at operating temperature and change it.
Severely aged or contaminated system fluid cannot be im-
proved by adding new fluid!
Only fill in oil via filters that have at least the same separa-
tion capacity as the filters installed in the system, or use a
system filter.
Take samples of the system fluid to have the type, size and
amount of particles analysed in the lab. Record the results.
Check the accumulator for its pre-charge pressure; for this,
the accumulator must be depressurised on the fluid side.
Caution!
Work on systems that include accumulators may only
be carried out after the fluid pressure was unloaded.
Welding or soldering work or any mechanical work on accu-
mulators is not permitted.
Improper repairs can lead to severe accidents. Repairs on hy-
draulic accumulator may therefore only be carried out by
Rexroth Service service personnel.
The operating temperature must be measured. An increase in
the operating temperature indicates increasing friction and
leakage.
Leakage in the pipework
Leakage, especially with underfloor piping, represents, apart
from loss of fluid, a risk for equipment and concrete floors.
For safety reasons, sealing work on the pipes may only be
carried out when the system is depressurised. Leakage at points
that are sealed with soft seals (O-rings, form seal rings, etc.)
cannot be eliminated by tightening as these sealing elements
are either destroyed or hardened. Sealing can only be achieved
by replacing the sealing elements.
Check main and pilot pressure
Check interval: One week
Document pressure corrections in the maintenance book.
Frequent pressure adjustments indicate, among other things,
wear of the pressure relief valve.
4.3 Repair
Locate and eliminate malfunction and damage.
Fault localisation
A precondition for system repairs is successful, i.e. systematic
fault search.
This requires in any case detailed knowledge of the structure
and the operating principle of the individual components as
well as of the entire system. The required documentation should
be available and easily accessible.
The most important measuring instruments (thermometer, elec-
trical multimeter, industrial stethoscope, stopwatch, rpm coun-
ter, etc.) should also be available in the vicinity of the system,
especially in the case of large systems.
Fault correction
When carrying out any work, observe strictest cleanliness.
Before loosening fittings, clean the surrounding area.
Generally, defective components should not be repaired on site,
since for the proper repair, the required tooling and the required
cleanliness are usually not given on site. On site, only complete
components should be changed whenever possible, in order
to keep the time for which the opened system is exposed to
ambient influences to a minimum,
to keep the fluid loss as low as possible,
to ensure the shortest possible downtime through the use of
overhauled and tested components.
After failed components are located, it is essential to check
whether the entire system or parts of the system have been
contaminated by broken parts or larger amounts of abraded
metal.
4.4 Repair and major overhaul of hydraulic components
Generally, it can be said that only the component manufacturer
can carry out major overhauls in the most efficiently and reliably
(same quality standard, trained personnel, test facilities, war-
ranty, etc.).

Position measuring system
The contactless, absolute position measuring system is rated
up to 500 bar. Its function principle is based on the magneto-
strictive effect. In connection with this, a torsion impulse is
triggered off when two magnetic fields meet. This impulse is
directed from the point of measurement via the wave guide
inside the measuring scale to the sensor head. The
transmission time is constant and virtually independent of
temperature. It is proportional to the position of the magnet and
can therefore be used as a reference for the actual position
value and is converted into a direct analogue of digital output in
the sensor head.
Position measuring system to ATEX:
RL 94/9/EG Ex II 3 D EXIP67 T70C

The permissible stroke length with a flexibly guided load and a
3.5 safety factor against buckling can be obtained from the
appropriate table. With a deviating cylinder installation, the
permissible stroke length has to be interpolated. Permissible
stroke lengths for non-guided loads are available on request.
The calculation for buckling are carried out as follows:
1. Calculation according to Euler
2. Calculation according to Tetmajer

End position cushioning:
The objective is to reduce the speed of a moving mass,
whose centre of gravity lies on the cylinder axis, to a level, at
which neither the cylinder nor the machine, into which the
cylinder is installed, can be damaged. For speeds over
20 mm/s we recommend the use of end position cushioning so
that the energy can be absorbed without the use of any
additional equipment. Checks must always be carried out
whether, also at lower speeds, with high masses end position
cushioning is required.
Cushioning capacity:
When braking masses via the end position cushioning, the
design constricted cushioning capacity must not be exceeded.
Cylinders with end position cushioning can only utilise their full
cushioning capacity when the entire stroke length is used.
With the adjustable end position cushioning E an additional
throttle valve is aded to the D version. The end position
cushioning E makes it possible to optimise the cycle times.
The maximum cushioning capacity can only be achieved when
the throttle valve is fully closed.
The calculation depends on the factors of weight, velocity,
system pressure and installation position. Therefore, the
variable D
m
is to be calculated from weight and speed, the
variable D
p
from system pressure and installation position.
These variables are then used to verify the permissible
End position cushioning
cushioning performance in the cushioning capacity diagram.
The interception point of the variables D
m
and D
p
must always
be below the cushioning capacity curve of the selected
cylinder. The values in the diagram refer to an average oil
temperature of + 45 to +65 C and with a closed throttle valve.
For special applications with very short stroke times, high
speeds or masses, special cylinders with special end position
cushioning can be offered on request.
When fixed or adjustable end stops are used, then special
measures have to be taken!

Function, sectional diagram, symbols: 3/2-way poppet valve
Example: Type M-3SE 6 C6X/420L.NXDZ2/V
General:
The type M-.SE.. valve is a solenoid-operated directional con-
trol poppet valve. It controls the start, stop and direction of the
flow. It essentially consists of a housing (1), the solenoid (2),
the hardened valve system (3) and the balls (4.1 and 4.2) as
closing elements.
Basic method of operation:
In initial position, ball (4.1) is pressed against the seat by the
spring (7), in switched position ball (4.2) is pressed against
the seat by the solenoid (2). The force from the solenoid (2)
is exerted via the lever (17) and the ball (5) on the actuating
piston (6), which is sealed on two sides. The space between
the two seal elements is connected to port P. This provides the
valve system (3) with pressure compensation in the face of the
actuating forces (solenoid or return spring). This in turn permits
the valves to be used for pressures of up to 420 bar.
Notes
3/2-way poppet valves have a switching underlap. This
is why port T must always be connected. In this way, ports
P-A-T are connected to one another during the switching
process from the moment at which one valve seat begins to
open to the moment at which the other valve seat closes.
However, this process takes place in such a short time that it
is insignificant in almost all applications.
The emergency override (10) allows the valve to switch with-
out energizing the solenoid.
Care must be taken to ensure that the stated maximum flow
must not be exceeded. If necessary, use a cartridge throttle
to limit the flow (see page 6).
In order to ensure that the valve switches or remains in its
switched position reliably, the pressure must be P A T
(based on design).
Ports P, A and T (3/2-way poppet valve) are absolutely
fixed according to the tasks they perform. They must not be
swapped or sealed. The pressure fluid may only flow in the
direction of the arrow.

The arrangement of the seats permits the following possibilities:

Industrial Hydraulics Bosch Rexroth AG RE 22047-XD-B2 Type M-.SE 6XD 5/14
Switched position:
P is connected to A. Since the pump pressure acts on the
large surface of the control piston (12) through A, the ball (13)
is pressed onto the seat (16). B is now connected to T and P
to A. The ball (13) in the Plus-1 plate has positive overlap.
The use of the Plus-1 plate and the arrangement of the seats
permits the following possibilities:

Function, sectional diagram, symbols: 4/2-way poppet valve
The function of a 4/2-way poppet valve is achieved by means
of an intermediate plate - the Plus-1 plate - beneath the
3/2-way poppet valve.

How the Plus-1 plate functions:
Initial position:
The main valve is not actuated. The spring (7) holds the ball
(4.1) against the seat (11). Port P is closed and A is connected
to T. In addition, a pilot line leads from A to the large surface of
the control piston (12), so that it is relieved of pressure towards
the tank. The pressure occurring through P now pushes the
ball (13) onto the seat (14). P is now connected to B and
A to T.
Transitional position:
When the main valve is actuated, the piston (8) is pushed
against the spring (7) and ball (4.2) is pressed onto the seat
(15). This closes port T and causes P, A and B to be briefly
connected. In order to avoid changes in pressure when using diffe-
rential cylinders, the annular area of the cylinder must be
connected at A.

Cartridge throttle
If, due to particular operating conditions during the switching
sequences, flows can occur which exceed the valves operat-
ing limit, it is necessary to fit a cartridge throttle.
Examples:
Accumulator operation
Use as pilot valve with internal removal of control fluid.

The cartridge throttle is inserted in port P
of the poppet valve.
4/2-way poppet valve (see page 5)
The cartridge throttle is inserted in
port P of the Plus-1 plate.
Cartridge check valve
The cartridge check valve allows a free flow of oil from P A
and closes the passage from A P without leakage.

greater than the short-circuit current of the supply source.
When inductance is cut off this gives rise to voltage peaks,
which can lead to disturbances in the connected trigger
electronics. For this reason, the actuating solenoids contain
an interference protection circuit, which dampens this voltage
peak to the voltage value shown in the table.

Circuit diagrams
Poppet valves are to be used in accordance with the symbols
and the designated working pressures and flows (see operat-
ing limits on page 11).
In order to ensure reliable function, attention to the
following points is essential:
3/2-way poppet valves have a switching underlap, i.e.
leakage oil arises during the switching process. However,
this process takes place in such a short time that it is
insignificant in almost all applications.
The stated maximum flow must not be exceeded
(if necessary, use a cartridge throttle to limit the flow).
Plus-1 plate:
When the Plus-1 plate (4/2-way function) is employed,
please note the minimum functional values below:
p
min
= 8 bar, q
V
> 3 l/min.
Ports P, A, B and T are absolutely fixed according to the
tasks they perform. They must not be swapped or sealed
at will.
Port T must always remain connected.
Pay attention to the level and distribution of pressure.
The pressure fluid may only flow in the direction of the arrow.

Note:
The stated operating limits apply for two directions of flow (e.g.
from P A and simultaneous return flow from B T).
If only one direction of flow is used (e.g. from P A with port
B closed), the permitted operating limit may be considerably
lower due to the flow forces acting inside the valve.
(For applications of this kind, please consult us!)
The operating limit was measured with the solenoid at operat-
ing temperature, 10% under-voltage and without tank back

Function, sectional diagram, symbols: 3/2-way poppet valve
Example: Type E-3SE 6 C6X/420BG12-12NXHZ2/V
General:
The type .-SE.. valve is a solenoid-operated directional control
poppet valve. It controls the start, stop and direction of the
ow. It essentially consists of a housing (1), the solenoid (2),
the hardened valve system (3) and the balls (4.1 and 4.2) as
closing elements.
Basic method of operation:
In initial position, ball (4.1) is pressed against the seat by the
spring (7), in switched position ball (4.2) is pressed against
the seat by the solenoid (2). The force from the solenoid (2)
is exerted via the ball (5) on the actuating piston (6), which is
sealed on two sides. The space between the two seal ele-
ments is connected to port P. This provides the valve system
(3) with pressure compensation in the face of the actuating
forces (solenoid or return spring), and permits the valves to be
used for pressures of up to 420 bar.
Notes:
3/2-way poppet valves have a switching underlap. This
is why port T must always be connected. In this way, ports
PAT are connected to one another during the switching
process from the moment at which one valve seat begins
to open to the moment at which the other valve seat closes.
However, this process takes place in such a short time that it
is insignicant in almost all applications.
The emergency override (10) allows the valve to switch
without energizing the solenoid.
The stated maximum ow must not be exceeded. If neces-
sary, use a cartridge throttle to limit the ow (see page 6).
In order to ensure that the valve switches safely and remains
in its switched position, the pressure must be P A T
(based on design).
Ports P, A and T (3/2-way poppet valve) are absolutely
xed according to the tasks they perform. They must not be
swapped or sealed. The pressure uid may only ow in the
direction of the arrow.
The arrangement of the seats permits the following possibilities:

Function, sectional diagram, symbols: 4/2-way poppet valve
Switched position:
P is connected to A. Since the pump pressure acts on the
large surface of the control piston (12) through A, the ball (13)
is pressed onto the seat (16). B is now connected to T and P
to A. The ball (13) in the plus-1 plate has positive overlap.
The use of the plus-1 plate and the arrangement of the seats
permits the following possibilities:

Symbol Y:

The function of a 4/2-way poppet valve is achieved by means of
an intermediate plate - the plus-1 plate - beneath the 3/2-way
poppet valve.

How the plus-1 plate functions:
Initial position:
The main valve is not actuated. The spring (7) holds the ball
(4.1) against the seat (11). Port P is blocked and A is connected
to T. In addition, a pilot line leads from A to the large surface of
the control piston (12), so that it is relieved of pressure towards
the tank. The pressure occurring through P now pushes the ball
(13) onto the seat (14). P is now connected to B and A to T.
Transitional position:
When the main valve is actuated, the piston (8) is pushed
against the spring (7) and ball (4.2) is pressed onto the seat
(15). In this case, port T is blocked and P, A and B
are briey connected.
In order to avoid changes in pressure when using diffe-
rential cylinders, the annular area of the cylinder must be
connected at A.

Cartridge throttle
If, due to particular operating conditions during the switching
sequences, ows can occur which exceed the valves opera-
ting limit, it is necessary to t a cartridge throttle.
Examples:
Accumulator operation
Use as pilot valve with internal removal
of control uid.

The cartridge throttle is inserted in port P
of the poppet valve.
4/2-way poppet valve (see page 5)
The cartridge throttle is inserted in port P

Cartridge check valve
The cartridge check valve allows a free ow of oil from P A
and blocks the path from A P without leakage.

lower due to the ow forces acting inside the valve.
(For applications of this kind, please consult us!)
The operating limit was measured with the solenoid at opera-

General:
The type M-.SED directional control valve is a direct solenoid-operated
directional control poppet valve. It controls the start, stop and direction
of the flow, and essentially consists of a housing (1), the solenoid (2),
the valve seats (7) and (11) and the locking element (4).
The optional emergency override (6) allows movement of the control
piston without energizing the solenoid.
Basic method of operation:
The initial position of the valve (open without flow, "UK", or closed
without flow, "CK") is determined by the arrangement of the spring
(5). The chamber (3) behind the locking element (4) is connected to
port P and sealed off against port T. This provides the valve with
pressure compensation in the face of the actuating forces (solenoid
and spring).
The special locking element (4) means that the ports P, A and T can
be subjected to maximum working pressure (350 bar) and the flow
can be conveyed in both directions (see symbols)!
In initial position, the locking element (4) is pressed onto seat (11)
by the spring (5); in switched position, it is pressed against seat (7)
by the solenoid (2). The flow is blocked without leakage.
If, due to particular operating conditions during the switching
sequences, flows can occur which are larger than the valve
performance curves allow, then it is necessary to fit a cartridge
throttle.
Examples:
Accumulator operation
Use as pilot valve with internal removal of
control fluid.
3/2-way poppet valve
The cartridge throttle is inserted in
the P port of the poppet valve.
4/2-way poppet valve (see page 5)
The cartridge throttle is inserted in port P
of the plus-1 plate.
The cartridge check valve allows a free flow
of oil from P to A and blocks the path
from A to P without leakage.
3/2-way poppet valve
The cartridge check valve is inserted in port
P of the poppet valve.
4/2-way poppet valve (see page 5)
The cartridge check valve is inserted in
port P of the plus-1 plate.
Cartridge throttle
M-3SED 6 UK1X/...XEZ2
Poppet valves can be used in accordance with these symbols and the
recommended working pressure and flow (see Operating limits on
page 9).
To ensure safe function, observing the following points is
essential:
Poppet valves have a switching underlap, i.e. there is leakage
during the switching process. However, this process takes place in
such a short time that it is insignificant in almost all applications.
The stated maximum flow must not be exceeded (if necessary,
use a cartridge throttle to limit the flow).

The function of a 4/2-way poppet valve is achieved by means of an
intermediate plate - the plus-1 plate - beneath the 3/2-way poppet
valve
How the plus-1 plate functions:
Initial position:
The main valve is not actuated. The spring (5) holds the locking
element (4) against the seat (11). Port P is blocked and A is connected
to T. In addition, a pilot line leads from A to the large surface of the
control piston (8), so that it is then relieved of pressure towards the
tank. The pressure occurring through P now pushes the ball (9) onto
the seat (10). P is now connected to B and A to T.
Transition position:
When the main valve is actuated, the locking element (4) is pushed
against the spring (5) and pressed onto the seat (7). In this case, port
T is blocked and P, A and B are briefly connected.
Function, sectional diagram, schematic diagram: 4/2-way poppet valve
Switched position:
P is connected to A. Since the pump pressure acts on the large surface
of the control piston (8) through A, the ball (9) is pressed onto the
seat (12). B is now connected to T and P to A. The ball (9) in the
plus-1 plate has "positive overlap".
In order to avoid changes in pressure when using differen-
tial cylinders, the annular area of the cylinder must be
connected at A.
The use of the plus-1 plate and the arrangement of the seats permits
the following possibilities:

General information
Electrical connection
Overcurrent fuse and cut-off voltage peak
Note
A fuse appropriate for the solenoid's nominal current (max. 3 x I
Inom
to DIN 41 571 or IEC 127) must be connected to each valve solenoid
on the line side, to protect against short circuit. The breaking capacity
of the fuse must be the same or greater than the short-circuit current
of the supply source.
When inductance is cut off this gives rise to voltage peaks, which
can lead to disturbances in the connected trigger electronics. For this
reason, the actuating solenoids contain an interference protection
circuit, which dampens this voltage peak to the voltage value shown
in the table.

Poppet valves can be used in accordance with these symbols and the
recommended working pressure and flow (see Operating limits on
page 9).
To ensure safe function, observing the following points is
essential:
Poppet valves have a switching underlap, i.e. there is leakage
during the switching process. However, this process takes place in
such a short time that it is insignificant in almost all applications.
The stated maximum flow must not be exceeded (if necessary,
use a cartridge throttle to limit the flow).
Plus-1 plate:
When the plus-1 plate (4/2-way function) is employed, please
note the lower functional values below:
p
min
= 8 bar, q
V
> 3 l/min.
Ports P, A, B and T are fixed according to their particular function.
They must not be exchanged or concealed at will!
Port T must always remain connected.
Note the pressure level and distribution!
The flow must be in the direction of the arrow!

Function, sectional diagram, symbols: 3/2-way poppet valve
General:
The type M-.SED directional control valve is a direct solenoid-
operated directional control poppet valve. It controls the start,
stop and direction of the flow, and essentially consists of a
housing (1), the solenoid (2), the valve seats (7) and (11) and
the locking element (4).
The optional emergency override (6) allows the valve to be
switched without energizing the solenoid.
Basic method of operation:
The initial position of the valve (open without flow, UK, or
closed without flow, CK) is determined by the position of the
spring (5). The chamber (3) behind the locking element (4) is
connected to port P and sealed off against port T. This pro-
vides the valve with pressure compensation in the face of the
actuating forces (solenoid and spring).

The locking element (4) allows ports P, A and T to be subject-
ed to maximum working pressure (350 bar), and the flow to
be conveyed in both directions (see symbols).
In initial position, the spring (5) presses the locking element (4)
onto seat (11); in switched position, the solenoid (2) presses it
against seat (7). The flow is blocked without leakage.
Poppet valves can be used in accordance with these symbols
and the recommended working pressure and flow (see Opera-
ting limits on page 9).

Function, sectional diagram, symbols: 4/2-way poppet valve
Type M-4SED 6 Y1X/350CG24N9XNZ4
The function of a 4/2-way poppet valve is achieved by means of
an intermediate plate - the Plus-1 plate - beneath the 3/2-way
poppet valve

How the Plus-1 plate functions:
Initial position:
The main valve is not actuated. The spring (5) holds the lock-
ing element (4) against the seat (11). Port P is closed and A is
connected to T. In addition, a pilot line leads from A to the large
surface of the control piston (8), so that it is relieved of pres-
sure towards the tank. The pressure occurring through P now
pushes the ball (9) onto the seat (10). P is now connected to B
and A to T.
Transition position:
When the main valve is actuated, the locking element (4) is
pushed against the spring (5) and pressed onto the seat (7). In
this case, port T is closed and P, A and B are briefly connected.
Switched position:
P is connected to A. Since the pump pressure acts on the large
surface of the control piston (8) via A, the ball (9) is pressed
onto the seat (12). B is now connected to T and P to A. The ball
(9) in the Plus-1 plate has positive overlap.
In order to avoid changes in pressure when using differen-
tial cylinders, the annular surface of the cylinder must be
connected at A.
The use of the Plus-1 plate and the arrangement of the seats
permits the following possibilities:

Cartridge throttle
If, due to particular operating conditions during the
switching sequences, flows can occur which exceed the
valves operating limits, it is necessary to fit a cartridge
throttle.
Examples:
Accumulator operation

Overcurrent fuse and cut-off voltage peak
Note
A fuse appropriate for the solenoids nominal current (max.
3 x I
nom
to DIN 41571 or IEC 60127) must be connected
to each valve solenoid on the line side, to protect against
short circuit. The breaking capacity of the fuse must match
the possible short-circuit current of the supply source.
When inductance is cut off this gives rise to voltage peaks,
which can lead to faults or damages in the connected trigger
electronics.
The user must provide an external interference protection
circuit, to dampen this voltage peak.

General information
Poppet valves can be used in accordance with these symbols
and the recommended working pressure and flow (see Operat-
ing limits below).
To ensure safe function, observing the following points is
essential:
Poppet valves have a switching underlap, i.e. there is leakage
during the switching process. However, this process takes
place in such a short time that it is insignificant in almost all
applications.
The stated maximum flow must not be exceeded
(if necessary, use a cartridge throttle to limit the flow).
Plus-1 plate:
When the Plus-1 plate (4/2-way function) is employed,
please note the lower functional values below:
p
min
= 8 bar, q
V
> 3 l/min.
Ports P, A, B and T are fixed according to their particular
function. They must not be exchanged or sealed at will!
Port T must always remain connected.
Note the pressure level and distribution!
Oil must only flow in the direction of the arrow!

Type M-3SEW 6 UXE
General:
The type M-.SEW...XE directional control valve is a direct solenoid-
operated poppet valve. It controls the start, stop and direction of the
flow, and essentially consists of a housing (1), the solenoid (2), the
hardened valve system (3) and the locking element (8).
Basic method of operation:
In initial position, the locking element (8) is pressed onto the seat by
the spring (9), in switched position by the solenoid (2). The force
from the solenoid (2) is exerted via the angle lever (6) and the ball
(7) on the locking element (8), which is sealed on two sides. The
space between the two seal elements is connected to port P.
This provides the valve system (3) with pressure compensation in the
face of the actuating forces (solenoid or return spring).
Note:
3/2-way poppet valves have a "switching underlap". This is why
port T must always be connected. In this way, ports P-A-T are
connected to one another during the switching process from the
moment at which one valve seat begins to open to the moment
at which the other valve seat closes. However, this process takes
place in such a short time that it is insignificant in almost all
applications.
The optional emergency override (10) allows the valve to switch
without energizing the solenoid.
Please note that the stated maximum flow must not be exceeded.
If necessary, use a cartridge throttle to limit the flow (see page 4).

Function, sectional diagram, schematic diagram: 4/2-way poppet valve
If, due to particular operating conditions during the switching
sequences, flows can occur which are larger than the valves
operating limit allows, then it is necessary to fit a cartridge
throttle.
Examples:
Accumulator operation
Use as pilot valve with internal removal
of control fluid.
3/2-way poppet valve (see page 3)
The cartridge throttle is inserted in
port P of the poppet valve.
4/2-way poppet valve
The cartridge throttle is inserted in
port P of the Plus-1 plate.
The cartridge check valve allows a free flow of oil from P to A and
blocks the path from A to P without leakage.
See page 12 for examples of this.
3/2-way poppet valve (see page 3)
The cartridge check valve is inserted in
port P of the poppet valve.
4/2-way poppet valve
The cartridge check valve is inserted in
port P of the Plus-1 plate.
Cartridge throttle Cartridge check valve
The function of a 4/2-way poppet valve is achieved by means of an inter-
mediate plate - the Plus-1 plate - beneath the 3/2-way poppet valve.
How the Plus-1 plate functions:
Initial position:
The main valve is not actuated. The spring (9) holds the ball (4) against
the seat (11). Port P is closed and A is connected to T. In addition, a
pilot line leads from A to the large surface of the control piston (12),
so that it is relieved of pressure towards the tank. The pressure
occurring through P now pushes the ball (13) onto the seat (14).
P is now connected to B and A to T.
Transition position:
When the main valve is actuated, the locking element (8) is pushed
against the spring (9) and pressed onto the seat (15). In this case,
port T is closed and P, A and B are briefly connected.
Switched position:
P is connected to A. Since the pump pressure acts on the large surface
of the control piston (12) through A, the ball (13) is pressed onto the
seat (16). B is now connected to T and P to A. The ball (13) in the
Plus-1 plate has "positive overlap". In order to avoid changes in
pressure when using differential cylinders, the annular area of the
cylinder must be connected at A.
In order to avoid changes in pressure when using differen-
tial cylinders, the annular area of the cylinder must be
connected at A.

General information
In order to ensure that the valve switches safely and remains in
its switched position, the pressure must be P A T (based on
design).
Ports P, A and T (3/2-way poppet valve) and P, A, B and T
(4/2-way poppet valve) are fixed according to their particular
function. They must not be exchanged or sealed at will. The pressure
fluid may only flow in the direction of the arrow.
When the Plus-1 plate (4/2-way function) is employed, please
note the minimum functional values below:
p
min
= 8 bar; q
V
> 3 l/min.
The stated maximum flow must not be exceeded (if necessary,
use a cartridge throttle to limit the flow).
Overcurrent fuse and cut-off voltage peak
Note
A fuse appropriate for the solenoid's nominal current (max. 3 x I
nom
to DIN 41571 or IEC 127) must be connected to each valve solenoid
on the line side, to protect against short circuit. The breaking capacity
of the fuse must be the same or greater than the short-circuit current
of the supply source.
When inductance is cut off this gives rise to voltage peaks, which
can lead to disturbances in the connected trigger electronics. For this
reason, the actuating solenoids contain an interference protection
circuit, which dampens this voltage peak to the voltage value shown
in the table.

General:
The Type M-.SEW...XE directional control valve is a direct solenoid-
operated poppet valve. It controls the start, stop and direction of the
flow, and essentially consists of a housing (1), the solenoid (2), the
hardened valve system (3) and the locking element (8).
Basic method of operation:
In initial position, the locking element (8) is pressed onto the seat by
the spring (9), in switched position by the solenoid (2). The force
from the solenoid (2) is exerted via the angle lever (6) and the ball
(7) on the locking element (8), which is sealed on two sides. The
space between the two seal elements is connected to port P.
This provides the valve system (3) with pressure compensation in the
face of the actuating forces (solenoid or return spring).
Note:
3/2-way poppet valves have a "switching underlap". This is why
port T must always be connected. In this way, ports P-A-T are
connected to one another during the switching process from the
moment at which one valve seat begins to open to the moment
at which the other valve seat closes. However, this process takes
place in such a short time that it is insignificant in almost all
applications.
The optional emergency override (10) allows the valve to switch
without energizing the solenoid.
Please note that the stated maximum flow must not be exceeded.
If necessary, use a cartridge throttle to limit the flow (see below).

The arrangement of the seats permits the following possibilities:

Symbol "C":
Type M-3SEW 10 UXE
If, due to particular operating conditions during the switching
sequences, flows can occur which are larger than the valves
operating limit allows, then it is necessary to fit a cartridge throttle.
Examples:
Accumulator operation
Use as pilot valve with internal removal of control fluid.

The cartridge throttle is inserted in port P
of the poppet valve.
4/2-way poppet valve (see page 4)
The cartridge check valve is inserted in

The cartridge check valve allows a free flow of oil from P to A and
blocks the path from A to P without leakage.

The use of the Plus-1 plate and the arrangement of the seats permits
the following possibilities:
Symbol "D":
Symbol "Y":
The function of a 4/2-way poppet valve is achieved by means of an
intermediate plate - the Plus-1 plate - beneath the 3/2-way poppet
valve.
How the Plus-1 plate functions:
Initial position:
The main valve is not actuated. The spring (9) holds the ball (4) against
the seat (11). Port P is closed and A is connected to T. In addition, a
pilot line leads from A to the large surface of the control piston (12),
so that it is relieved of pressure towards the tank. The pressure
occurring through P now pushes the ball (13) onto the seat (14).
P is now connected to B and A to T.
Transition position:
When the main valve is actuated, the locking element (8) is pushed
against the spring (9) and pressed onto the seat (15). In this case,
port T is closed and P, A and B are briefly connected.
Switched position:
P is connected to A. Since the pump pressure acts on the large surface
of the control piston (12) through A, the ball (13) is pressed onto the
seat (16). B is now connected to T and P to A. The ball (13) in the
Plus-1 plate has "positive overlap".
In order to avoid changes in pressure when using differen-
tial cylinders, the annular area of the cylinder must be
connected at A.

General information
In order to ensure that the valve switches safely and remains in its
switched position, the pressure must be P AT (based on design).
Ports P, A and T (3/2-way poppet valve) and P, A, B and T (4/2-way
poppet valve) are fixed according to their particular function. They
must not be exchanged or sealed at will. The pressure fluid may
only flow in the direction of the arrow.
When the Plus-1 plate (4/2-way function) is employed, please note
the minimum functional values below: p
min
= 8 bar; q
V
> 3 L/min.
The stated maximum flow must not be exceeded (if necessary,
use a cartridge throttle to limit the flow).

Insensitive to polarity
A fuse appropriate for the solenoid's nominal current (max. 3 x I
nom
to DIN 41571 or IEC 127) must be connected to each valve solenoid
on the line side, to protect against short circuit. The breaking capacity
of the fuse must be the same or greater than the short-circuit current
of the supply source.
When inductance is cut off this gives rise to voltage peaks, which
can lead to disturbances in the connected trigger electronics. For this
reason, the actuating solenoids contain an interference protection
circuit, which dampens this voltage peak to the voltage value shown
in the table.

Function, sectional diagram, symbols: 3/2-way poppet valve
General:
The type M-.SED directional control valve is a direct solenoid-
operated directional control poppet valve. It controls the start,
stop and direction of the flow, and essentially consists of a
housing (1), the solenoid (2), the valve seats (7) and (11) and
the locking element (4).
The optional emergency override (6) allows the valve to be
switched without energizing the solenoid.
Basic method of operation:
The initial position of the valve (open without flow, UK, or
closed without flow, CK) is determined by the position of the
spring (5). The chamber (3) behind the locking element (4) is
connected to port P and sealed off against port T.
This provides the valve with pressure compensation in the face
of the actuating forces (solenoid and spring).
The locking element (4) allows ports P, A and T to be subjec-
ted to maximum working pressure (350 bar), and the flow to be
conveyed in both directions (see symbols).
In initial position, the spring (5) presses the locking element (4)
onto seat (11); in switched position, the solenoid (2) presses it
against seat (7). The flow is blocked without leakage.
Poppet valves can be used in accordance with these symbols
and the recommended working pressure and flow (see Opera-
ting limits on page 9).

Function, sectional diagram, symbols: 4/2-way poppet valve
Type M-4SED 10 Y1X/350CG24N9XNZ4
The function of a 4/2-way poppet valve is achieved by means of
an intermediate plate - the Plus-1 plate - beneath the 3/2-way
poppet valve.

How the Plus-1 plate functions:
Initial position:
The main valve is not actuated. The spring (5) holds the locking
element (4) against the seat (11). Port P is closed and A is
connected to T. In addition, a pilot line leads from A to the
large surface of the control piston (8), so that it is relieved of
pressure towards the tank. The pressure occurring through P
now pushes the ball (9) onto the seat (10). P is now connected
to B and A to T.
Transition position:
When the main valve is actuated, the locking element (4) is
pushed against the spring (5) and pressed onto the seat (7). In
this case, port T is closed and P, A and B are briefly connected.
Switched position:
P is connected to A. Since the pump pressure acts on the large
surface of the control piston (8) via A, the ball (9) is pressed
onto the seat (12). B is now connected to T and P to A. The ball
(9) in the Plus-1 plate has positive overlap.
In order to avoid changes in pressure when using differen-
tial cylinders, the annular surface of the cylinder must be
connected at A.
The use of the Plus-1 plate and the arrangement of the seats
permits the following possibilities:

Cartridge throttle
If, due to particular operating conditions during the switching
sequences, flows can occur which exceed the valves opera-
ting limits, it is necessary to fit a cartridge throttle.
Examples:
Accumulator operation
Use as pilot valve with internal removal of control fluid.

The cartridge throttle is inserted in port P
of the poppet valve.
4/2-way poppet valve (see page 5) Die
The cartridge throttle is inserted in port P

Cartridge check valve
The cartridge check valve allows a free flow of oil from P A
and blocks the path from A P without leakage.

Overcurrent fuse and cut-off voltage peak
Note:
A fuse appropriate for the solenoids nominal current
(max. 3 x I
nom
to DIN 41571 or IEC 60127) must be connected
to each valve solenoid on the line side, to protect against
short circuit. The breaking capacity of the fuse must match
the possible short-circuit current of the supply source.
When inductance is cut off this gives rise to voltage peaks,
which can lead to faults or damages in the connected trigger
electronics.
The user must provide an external interference protection
circuit, to dampen this voltage peak.

General information
Poppet valves can be used in accordance with these symbols
and the recommended working pressure and flow (see Ope-
rating limits below).
To ensure safe function, observing the following points is
essential:
Poppet valves have a switching underlap, i.e. there is lea-
kage during the switching process. However, this process
takes place in such a short time that it is insignificant in
almost all applications.
The stated maximum flow must not be exceeded (if necessa-
ry, use a cartridge throttle to limit the flow)!
Plus-1 plate:
When the Plus-1 plate (4/2-way function) is employed,
please note the lower functional values below:
p
min
= 8 bar, q
V
> 3 l/min.
Ports P, A, B and T are fixed according to their particular
function. They must not be exchanged or sealed at will!
Port T must always remain connected.
Note the pressure level and distribution!
Oil must only flow in the direction of the arrow!

Function, sectional diagram
Type WE directional control valves are solenoid-operated,
spool-type directional control valves. They control the start,
stop and direction of a ow of uid.
The directional control valves essentially consist of the housing
(1), one or two solenoids (2), the control piston (3) and one or
two return springs (4).
When not actuated, the control piston (3) is held in the central
or initial position by the return springs (4) (with the exception of
the pulse-type spool valve). The control piston (3) is actuated
by wet pin solenoids (2).
For perfect function, ensure that the pressure chamber of
the solenoid is lled with oil.
The force from the solenoid (2) is exerted via the plunger (5) on
the control piston (3), pushing the latter out of its rest position
into the desired end position. This enables uid to ow in the
necessary direction, P A and B T or P B und A T.
When the solenoid (2) is no longer energized, the return
springs (4) move the control piston (3) back into its rest
position.
An auxiliary actuating device (6) allows the control piston (3) to
be moved without energizing the solenoid.
Typ 4WE 6.. 5X/O...XH (only possible with symbols A, C and D)
This version consists of directional control valves with two
switched positions and two solenoids without detent. There is
no dened switched position in de-energized status.
Note:
The tank line must not be allowed to run dry. If the installa-
tion conditions are such that there is a risk, install a pres-
sure sequence valve (precharge pressure approx. 2 bar).
Cartridge throttle (valve type 4WE 6..5X/XH../B.. )
If, due to particular operating conditions during the switching
sequences, ows can occur which exceed the valves operat-
ing limit, it is necessary to t a cartridge throttle.
This is inserted in the P-duct of the directional control valve.

= 40 C 5 C)
Note:
The stated operating limits apply for two directions of ow
(e.g. from P A and simultaneous return ow from B T).
If only one direction of ow is used (e.g. from P A with port
B closed), the permitted operating limit may be considerably
lower due to the ow forces acting inside the valve.
(For applications of this kind, please consult us.)
The operating limit was measured with the solenoid at opera-
ting temperature, 10% under-voltage and without tank back
pressure.

Type 4WE 6 E6X/.B..NXDZ2/V
Sealing ring
WE type directional control valves are solenoid-operated direc-
tional spool valves. They control the start, stop and direction of
a flow of fluid.
Essentially, the directional control valves consist of the housing
(1), one or two solenoids (2), the control piston (3) and one or
two return springs (4).
In the de-energized condition, the control piston (3) is held in
the mid or initial position by the return springs (4) (except in
impulse spools). The control piston (3) is operated by wet pin
solenoids (2).
To guarantee satisfactory operation, take care to ensure
that the pressure chamber of the solenoid is filled with oil.
The force of the solenoid (2) acts on the control piston (3) by
means of the plunger (5), and pushes it from its neutral position
into the required end position. This opens the required direction
for the flow, P A and B T or P B and A T.
When the solenoid (2) is de-energized, the return spring (4)
moves the control piston (3) back to its neutral position.
An auxiliary actuating device (6), optional, enables the
control piston (3) to be displaced without solenoid control.
Type 4WE 6.. 6X/O...XD
(only possible for symbols A, C and D)
This version comprises directional control valves with two
switched positions and two solenoids without detent.
There is no definable switched position when the solenoids
are de-energized.
Type 4WE 6.. 6X/OF... XD (impulse spool, only possible with
symbols A, C and D)
This version comprises directional control valves with two swit-
ched positions, two solenoids and a detent. This means that
both switched positions are fixed alternately, and there is no
need to continually energize the solenoid.
Note:
Pressure peaks in the tank line to two or more valves may
provoke unwanted piston movements in valves with detent.
It is therefore recommended that you lay separate return
lines or install a check valve in the tank line.
The tank line must not be allowed to run empty. When
installation conditions allow, install a pressure sequence
valve (precharge pressure approx. 2 bar).
Cartridge throttle (type 4WE 6 ..6X/...XD../B..)
If, due to particular operating conditions during the switching
sequences, flows can occur which are larger than the valve
performance curves allow, then it is necessary to fit a cartridge
throttle.
This is inserted in the P-duct of the directional control valve.

Overcurrent fuse and cut-off voltage peak


Note
A fuse appropriate for the solenoids nominal current (max.
3 x I
nom
to DIN 41571 or IEC 60127) must be connected to
each valve solenoid on the line side, to protect against short
circuit. The breaking capacity of the fuse must match or ex-
ceed the possible short-circuit current of the supply source.
When inductance is cut off this gives rise to voltage peaks,
which can lead to disturbances in the connected trigger
electronics. For this reason, the actuating solenoids contain
an interference protection circuit, which dampens this voltage
peak to the voltage value shown in the table.

Operating limits (measured with HLP46,
oil
= 40 C 5 C)
Due to the flow forces active within the valves, the permissi-
ble operating limit may be significantly less if there is only one
direction of flow (e.g. from P A with port B shut off).
(Please consult us for applications of this kind.)
The operating limit was measured with the solenoids at
operating temperature, 10% under-voltage and without
tank back pressure.
Note
The operating limits defined here are for applications with two
flow directions (e.g. from P A and simultaneous return flow
from B T).

Function, sectional diagram
Type 4WE 6 E6X/.E..NXE...
Seal
WE type directional control valves are solenoid operated direc-
tional spool valves. They control the start, stop and direction of
a flow of fluid.
Essentially, the directional control valves consist of the housing
(1), one or two solenoids (2), the control piston (3) and one or
two return springs (4).
In the de-energized condition, the control piston (3) is held in
the mid or initial position by the return springs (4) (except in
impulse spools). The control piston (3) is operated by wet pin
solenoids (2), which switch in oil.
To guarantee satisfactory operation, take care to ensure
that the pressure chamber of the solenoid is filled with oil.
The force of the solenoid (2) acts on the control piston (3) by
means of the plunger (5), and pushes it from its neutral position
into the required end position. This opens the required direction
for the flow, P A and B T or P B and A T. When the
solenoid (2) is de-energized, the return spring (4) moves the
control piston (3) back to its neutral position.
An auxiliary actuating device (6), optional, enables the
control piston (3) to be displaced without solenoid control.
Typ 4WE 6.. 6X/O...XE (only possible for symbols A, C and D)
This version comprises directional control valves with two
switched positions and two solenoids without detent. There
is no definable switched position when the solenoids are
de-energized.
Typ 4WE 6.. 6X/OF... XE
(impulse spool, only possible with symbols A, C and D)
This version comprises directional control valves with two
switched positions, two solenoids and a detent. This means
that both switched positions are fixed alternately, and there
is no need to continually energize the solenoid.
Note:
Pressure peaks in the tank line to two or more valves may
provoke unwanted piston movements in valves with detent.
It is therefore recommended that you lay separate return
lines or install a check valve in the tank line.
The tank line must not be allowed to run empty. When
installation conditions allow, install a pressure sequence
valve (precharge pressure approx. 2 bar).
Cartridge throttle (type 4WE 6..6X/XE../B.. )
If, due to particular operating conditions during the switching
sequences, flows can occur which are larger than the valve
performance curves allow, then it is necessary to fit a cartridge
throttle.
This is inserted in the P line of the directional control valve.

Overcurrent fuse and cut-off voltage peak


Note
A fuse appropriate for the solenoids nominal current (max.
3 x I
nom
to DIN 41571 or IEC 60127) must be connected to
each valve solenoid on the line side, to protect against short
circuit. The breaking capacity of the fuse must match or exceed
the possible short-circuit current of the supply source.
When inductance is cut off this gives rise to voltage peaks,
which can lead to disturbances in the connected trigger
electronics. For this reason, the actuating solenoids contain
an interference protection circuit, which dampens this voltage
peak to the voltage value shown in the table.

Operating limits (measured with HLP46,
oil
= 40 C 5 C)
Due to the flow forces active within the valves, the permissib-
le operating limit may be significantly less if there is only one
direction of flow (e.g. from P A with port B shut off)!
(Please consult us for applications of this kind.)
The operating limit was measured with the solenoids at
operating temperature, 10% under-voltage and without
tank back pressure.
Note
The operating limits defined here are for applications with two
flow directions (e.g. from P A and simultaneous return flow
from B T).

Function, sectional diagram
WE type directional control valves are solenoid operated
directional spool valves. They control the start, stop and
direction of a flow of fluid.
Essentially, the directional control valves consist of the housing
(1), one or two solenoids (2), the control piston (3) and one or
two return springs (4).
In the de-energized condition, the control piston (3) is held in
the mid or initial position by the return springs (4) (except in
impulse spools). The control piston (3) is operated by wet pin
solenoids (2).

To guarantee satisfactory operation, take care to ensure
that the pressure chamber of the solenoid is filled with oil.
The force of the solenoid (2) acts on the control piston (3) by
means of the plunger (5), and pushes it from its neutral position
into the required end position. This opens the required direc-
tion for the flow, P A and B T or P B and A T.
When the solenoid (2) is de-energized, the return spring (4)
moves the control piston (3) back to its neutral position.
An optional emergency override (6) allows movement of the
control piston (3) without energizing the solenoid.
Type 4WE 6 ..6X/O...XN (only possible for pistons A, C and D)
This version comprises directional control valves with two
switched positions and two solenoids without detent. There
is no definable switched position when the solenoids are
de-energized.
Type 4WE 6 ..6X/OF... XN
(impulse spool, only possible with pistons A, C and D)
This version comprises directional control valves with two
switched positions, two solenoids and a detent. This means
that both switched positions are fixed alternately, and there is
no need to continually energize the solenoid.
Note:
Pressure peaks in the tank line to two or more valves
may provoke unwanted piston movements in valves with
detent. It is therefore recommended that you lay separate
return lines or install a check valve in the tank line.
The tank line must not be allowed to run empty. When
installation conditions allow, install a pressure sequence
valve (precharge pressure approx. 2 bar).
Cartridge throttle (type 4WE 6 ..6X/XN../B.. )
If, due to particular operating conditions during the switching
sequences, flows can occur which are larger than the valve
performance curves allow, then it is necessary to fit a cartridge
throttle.
This is inserted in the P line of the directional control valve.

Overcurrent fuse and cut-off voltage peak
Note
A fuse appropriate for the solenoids nominal current
(max. 3 x I
nom
to DIN 41571 or IEC 60127) must be connected
to each valve solenoid on the line side, to protect against
short circuit. The breaking capacity of the fuse must match
the possible short-circuit current of the supply source.
When inductance is cut off this gives rise to voltage peaks,
which can lead to disturbances in the connected trigger
electronics.
The user must provide an external interference protection
circuit, to dampen this voltage peak.

Note:
The operating limits defined here are for applications with two
flow directions (e.g. from P A and simultaneous return flow
from B T).
Due to the flow forces active within the valves, the permissible
operating limit may be significantly less if there is only one
direction of flow (e.g. from P A with port B shut off).

Directional control valve type H-4WEH
This valve is an electrohydraulically actuated directional control
spool valve. It controls the start, stop and direction of a flow of
fluid.
Essentially, the directional control valve consists of the housing
(1), the main control piston (2), one or two return springs (3.1)
and (3.2), and the pilot valve (4) with one or two solenoids a
(5.1) and/or b (5.2).
The main control piston (2) in the main valve is held in neutral
or initial position by the springs or by the application of pres-
sure. In initial position, the two spring chambers (6) and (8) are
connected to the tank without pressure via the pilot valve (4).
The pilot valve is supplied with control oil via the pilot line (7).
This supply may be internal or external (via port X if external).
When the pilot valve is actuated, e.g. by solenoid a, the pilot
piston (10) is pushed to the left, which causes the spring cham-
ber (8) to be subjected to control pressure. Spring chamber
(6) remains free from pressure.
The control pressure acts on the left side of the main control
piston (2) and pushes it against the spring (3.1). This connects
ports P to B and A to T in the main valve.
When the solenoid is de-energized, the pilot piston returns to
initial position (except in the case of impulse spools). Spring
chamber (8) is relieved of pressure towards the tank.
The control oil from the spring chamber is forced into duct Y
via the pilot valve.
The supply and return of control oil takes place internally or
externally (via port Y if external).
An optional emergency override (9) allows the pilot piston (10)
to be moved without the solenoid being energized.

Electrical connection
Overcurrent fuse and cut-off voltage peak
Note
A fuse appropriate for the solenoids nominal current
(max. 3 x I
nom
to DIN 41571 or IEC 60127) must be connected
to each valve solenoid on the line side, to protect against short
circuit. The breaking capacity of the fuse must at least match
the short-circuit current of the supply source.
When inductance is cut off this gives rise to voltage peaks,
which can lead to disturbances in the connected trigger
electronics. For this reason, the actuating solenoids contain
an interference protection circuit, which dampens this voltage
peak to the voltage value shown in the table.

Operating limits: Type H-4WEH 10 (measured with HLP46,
oil
= 40 C 5 C)
Note
The operating limits defined here are for applications with two
flow directions (e.g. from P A and simultaneous return flow
from B T).
Due to the flow forces active within the valves, the permissible
operating limit may be significantly less if there is only one
direction of flow (e.g. from P A with port B shut off).
(Please consult us for applications of this kind.)
The operating limit was measured with the solenoids at
operating temperature, 10% under-voltage and without
tank back pressure.

Note
1)
If the stated flow rate values are exceeded, the function of
the return springs can no longer be guaranteed if the control
pressure fails!
If the supply of control oil is X internal, a pressure sequence
valve must always be employed due to the underlap of pis-
tons F, G, H, P, T, S, C and HC.


The pilot valve is not required for flow rates > 180 l/min in
the case of pistons V, Z and HZ.

Switching time adjustment S/S2
The switching time of the main valve (1) is influenced by the use
of a twin throttle check valve (2), type Z2FS 6.
Type H-4WEH 10 ..4X/S or S2
Pressure reducing valve D3
At a control pressure of over 250 bar, the valve must be
ordered with pressure reducing valve (3), type ZDR6PO, and a
cartridge throttle B10.
Order code: B10..D3
Type H-4WEH 10 ..4X//..D3
Pressure sequence valve P4.5 (not for NG10)
In the case of valves with pressureless circulation and an inter-
nal supply of control oil, a pressure sequence valve is required
in the P-duct of the main valve in order to build up the minimum
control pressure.
Order code: P4.5
The pressure differential of the pressure sequence valve must
be added to the pressure differential of the main valve (see
characteristic curves) to make up a total value.
The opening pressure is approx. 4.5 bar.

Directional control valves Type H-4WEH
The type H-4WEH valve is an electrohydraulically actuated
directional control spool valve. It controls the start, stop and
direction of a flow of fluid.
Essentially, the directional control valve consists of the housing
(1), the main control piston (2), one or two return springs (3.1)
and (3.2), and the pilot valve (4) with one or two solenoids a
(5.1) and/or b (5.2).
The main control piston (2) in the main valve is held in neutral
or initial position by the springs or by the application of pres-
sure. In initial position, the two spring chambers (6) and (8) are
connected to the tank without pressure via the pilot valve (4).
The pilot valve is supplied with control oil via the pilot line (7).
This supply may be internal or external (via port X if external).
When the pilot valve is actuated, e.g. by solenoid a, the pilot
piston (10) is pushed to the left, which causes the spring cham-
ber (8) to be subjected to control pressure. Spring chamber
(6) remains free from pressure.
The control pressure acts on the left side of the main control
piston (2) and pushes it against the spring (3.1). This connects
ports P to B and A to T in the main valve.
When the solenoid is de-energized, the pilot piston returns to
initial position (except in the case of impulse spools). Spring
chamber (8) is relieved of pressure towards the tank.
The control oil from the spring chamber is forced into duct Y
via the pilot valve.
The supply and return of control oil takes place internally or
externally (via port Y if external).
An optional emergency override (9) allows movement of the
pilot piston (10) without energizing the solenoid.

In the case of pistons C, F, G, H, P, T, V and Z, an internal
control oil supply without the use of a pressure sequence
valve is only possible if the flow from P T in mid position
(in the 3-position valve) or when mid position is passed (in
the 2-position valve) is so great that the pressure differential
from P T reaches 6.5 bar minimum.
3)
For pistons C, F, G, H, P, T, V, Z and S

The purity classes stated for the components must be
complied with in hydraulic systems. Effective filtration
prevents problems and also extends the service life of
components.
For a selection of filters, see Technical Data Sheets

Electrical connection
Overcurrent fuse and cut-off voltage peak
Note
A fuse appropriate for the solenoids nominal current (max.
3 x I
nom
to DIN 41571 or IEC 60127) must be connected to
each valve solenoid on the line side, to protect against short
circuit. The breaking capacity of the fuse must match the
possible short-circuit current of the supply source.
When inductance is cut off this gives rise to voltage peaks,
which can lead to disturbances in the connected trigger
electronics. For this reason, the actuating solenoids contain
an interference protection circuit, which dampens this voltage
peak to the voltage value shown in the table.

Operating limits: Type H-4WEH 10 (measured with HLP46,

Note
The operating limits defined here are for applications with two
flow directions (e.g. from P A and simultaneous return flow
from B T).
Due to the flow forces active within the valves, the permissible
operating limit may be significantly less if there is only one
direction of flow (e.g. from P A with port B shut off).
(Please consult us for applications of this kind.)
The operating limit was measured with the solenoids at
operating temperature, 10% under-voltage and without
tank back pressure.

Note
1)
If the stated flow rate values are exceeded, the function of

of failure of the control pressure!
If the supply of control oil is X internal, a pressure sequence
valve must always be employed due to the underlap of
pistons F, G, H, P, T, C and HC.


A pressure sequence valve is not required for flow rates
> 180 l/min in the case of pistons V, Z, HZ and S.

Pressure sequence P4.5 (not for NG 10)
In the case of valves with pressure-less circulation and an
internal supply of control oil, a pressure sequence valve is
required in the P-duct of the main valve in order to build up
the minimum control pressure.
Order code: P4.5
The pressure differential of the pressure sequence valve must
be added to the pressure differential of the main valve (see
characteristic curves) to make up a total value.
The opening pressure is approx. 4.5 bar.

4/2 and 4/3 proportional directional control valve are designed
as directly operated units for subplate mounting. They are actu-
ated by proportional solenoids with central thread and remov-
able coil for potentially explosive atmospheres. The solenoids
are actuated by external trigger electronics.
Construction:
The valve basically comprises:
Housing (1) with mounting surface
Control piston (2) with compression springs (3 and 4)

Solenoids (5 and 6) with central thread

Function:
When the solenoids (5 or 6) are not actuated, the control
piston (2) is held in center position by the compression
springs (3 and 4)
The control piston (2) is directly operated when a proportio-
nal solenoid is energized e.g. solenoid b (6) actuated
Control piston (2) is moved to the left proportionately to
the electrical input signal
P A and B T are connected by orifice-type cross-
sections with a progressive flow characteristic
Solenoid (6) de-energized
Control piston (2) is moved back to center position by
the compression spring (3)
Note:
Only one solenoid may be actuated at one time in
4/3-way valves.
Valve with 2 switching positions (type 4WRA 6 .AXE):
This type of valve basically functions like a valve with 3 swit-
ching positions. However, valves with 2 switching positions are
only equipped with solenoid a (5). A screw plug (7) takes the
place of the 2nd proportional solenoid.
Note:
The tank line must not be allowed to run empty. If installation
conditions might incur this, install a pressure sequence valve
(precharge pressure approx. 2 bar).

Electrical connection
1)
As the solenoid coils may reach a high surface temperature,
European standards EN 563 and EN 982 on the prevention
of accidental contact must be observed.
2)
Note:
The power supply to the proportional solenoid coil must con-
form to Directive 94/9/EG (devices and protective systems
for proper use in potentially explosive atmospheres).
The type-tested actuating solenoid of the valve is equipped
with a terminal box and a type-tested cable gland.
The connection is insensitive to polarity.
Note:
A fuse appropriate for the solenoids nominal current (max.
3 x I
nom
to DIN 41571 or IEC 60127) must be connected to
each valve solenoid on the line side, to protect against short
circuit. The breaking capacity of the fuse must match the
possible short-circuit current of the supply source.

Type 3DREP 6..2X/..XE..
Pilot valve type 3DREP 6
The pilot valve is a proportionally solenoid operated 3-way
pressure reducing valve. It is employed for converting an
electrical input signal into a proportional pressure output
signal, and is used in all valves of the type 4WRZ .
The proportional solenoids are wet-pin DC solenoids with
central thread and removable coil, and can be controlled in a
closed loop. They are actuated by external trigger electronics.
Construction:
The valve basically comprises:
Housing (1) with mounting surface
Control piston (2) with pressure-measuring pistons (3 and 4)

Solenoids (5 and 6) with central thread

Description of function:
When the solenoids (5 or 6) are not actuated, the control
piston (2) is held in center position by compression springs
The control piston (2) is directly operated when a proportio-
nal solenoid is energized e.g. solenoid b (5) actuated

Pressure-measuring piston (3) and control piston (2)
are moved to the left proportionately to the electrical
input signal

P A and B T are connected by orifice-type
cross-sections with a progressive flow characteristic
Solenoid (5) de-energized

Control piston (2) is moved back to center position by
the compression spring
Ports A and B are open to T in center position, i.e. pressure
fluid can flow unhindered to the tank.
Note:
In valves type 3DREP 6 C, only one solenoid can be energized
at a time.
Valve with two switching positions
(type 3DREP 6A)
This type of valve basically functions like a valve with three
switching positions. However, valves with two switching
positions are only equipped with solenoid b (5). A screw
plug (7) takes the place of the 2nd proportional solenoid.
Note:
The tank line must not be allowed to run empty. If installation
conditions might incur this, install a pressure sequence valve
(precharge pressure approx. 2 bar).

Pilot operated proportional directional control valves
Type 4WRZ-7X/..XE
Type 4WRZ valves are pilot operated 4-way directional
control valves actuated by proportional solenoids. They control
the direction and size of a flow.
Construction:
The valve basically comprises:
Pilot valve (9) with proportional solenoids (5 and 6)
Main valve (10) with main piston (11) and centering
springs (12)
Description of function:
When the solenoids (5 or 6) are not actuated, the main
piston (11) is held in center position by the centering
springs (12)
The main piston (11) is operated by the pilot valve (9) the
main piston is moved proportionately e.g. solenoid b is
actuated (6)
Control piston (2) is moved to the right, control oil
flows through the pilot valve (9) into the pressure
chamber (13), where it moves the main piston (11) to
the left pro portionately to the electrical input signal
P A and B T are connected by orifice-type
cross-sections with a progressive flow characteristic
Control oil is supplied to the pilot valve internally via port P
or externally via port X
Solenoid (6) de-energized

Control piston (2) and main piston (11) are moved back
to center position

Electrical connection
The type-tested actuating solenoid of the valve is equipped
with a terminal box and a type-tested cable gland.
The connection is insensitive to polarity.
Note:
A fuse appropriate for the solenoids nominal current
(max. 3 x I
nom
to DIN 41571 or IEC 60127) must be connected
to each valve solenoid on the line side, to protect against short
circuit. The breaking capacity of the fuse must at least match
the possible short-circuit current of the supply source.

Valve operating instructions
Valve with 2 switching positions:
This type of valve basically functions like a valve with 3 swit-
ching positions. However, valves with 2 switching positions
are only equipped with solenoid a (5) or solenoid b (6).
A screw plug (7) takes the place of the 2nd proportional
solenoid.
Note:
The tank line must not be allowed to run empty.
When installation conditions allow, install a pressure sequence
valve (precharge pressure approx. 2 bar).
4/10 Bosch Rexroth AG Industrial Hydraulics Type 3DREP 6 ../..XE RE 29184-XE-B2
Function, sectional diagram
The type 3DREP 6.., 3-way pressure-reducing valve is directly
operated by proportional solenoids. It is employed to convert
an electrical input signal into a proportional pressure output
signal.
The proportional solenoids are wet-pin DC solenoids with cen-
tral thread and can be controlled in a closed loop.
The solenoids are actuated by external trigger electronics.
Construction:
The valve basically comprises:
Housing (1) with mounting surface
Control piston (2) with pressure-measuring pistons (3 and 4)

Solenoids (5 and 6) with central thread
Function:
When the solenoids (5 or 6) are not actuated, the control
piston (2) is held in center position by compression springs
The control piston (2) is directly operated when a proportio-
nal solenoid is energized

e.g. solenoid a (5) actuated

Pressure-measuring piston (3) and control piston (2) are
moved to the right proportionately to the electrical input
signal

P B and A T are connected by orifice-type cross-
sections with a progressive flow characteristic

Solenoid (5) de-energized

Control piston (2) is moved back to center position by the
compression spring
Ports A and B T are open in center position, i.e. pressure
fluid can flow unhindered to the tank.
Note:
In valves type 3DREP 6 C, only one solenoid can be energized
at a time.

Electrical connection
1)
As the solenoid coils may reach a high surface temperature,
European standards EN 563 and EN 982 on the prevention
of accidental contact must be observed.
2)
Note
The power supply to the proportional solenoid coil must con-
form to Directive 94/9/EG (devices and protective systems
for proper use in potentially explosive atmospheres).
The type-tested actuating solenoid of the valve is equipped
with a terminal box and a type-tested cable entry.
The connection is insensitive to polarity.
Note
A fuse appropriate for the solenoids nominal current (max.
3 x I
nom
to DIN 41571 or IEC 60127) must be connected to
each valve solenoid on the line side, to protect against short
circuit. The breaking capacity of the fuse must match the
possible short-circuit current of the supply source.

Valve operating instructions
1)
Nominal flow rate

The nominal flow rate is based on a 100 % setpoint signal at
a valve pressure differential of 70 bar (35 bar per metering
notch). The valve pressure differential should be regarded as
a guide. The flow rate can be affected by other values.
A possible nominal flow tolerance of 10 % (see flow signal
function on page 7) must be taken into consideration.
2)
External trigger electronics

The control signal must be generated by a current regulated
output stage. For trigger electronics (servo amplifiers), see
page 6.
3)
Control oil

This valve is supplied only with an internal control oil supply
and drain.
4)
Inlet pressure range

The system pressure should be kept as constant as possible.
With regard to the dynamics, please bear in mind the fre-
quency relationship within the permissible pressure range of
10 to 210 bar or 10 to 315 bar.
5)
Piston overlap

The piston overlap in % is based on the nominal stroke of
the control piston.

Function, sectional diagram
4WS2EM 6-2X/...XN...-100
Valves of this type are electrically operated, 2-stage servo
directional control valves with a mounting hole configuration
to ISO 4401 03 02 0 94. They are predominantly
employed for closed-loop position, draft, pressure and velocity
control.
These valves consist of an electro-mechanical governor (torque
motor) (1), a hydraulic amplifier (flapper jet principle) (2) and a
control piston (3) in a sleeve (2nd stage), which is connected
to the torque motor via a mechanical return.
An electric input signal at the coils (4) of the torque motor
causes a permanent magnet to generate a force that acts on
the armature (5) and, acting by means of a torque tube (6), this
force generates a torque. This torque then moves the flapper
plate (7) which is connected to the torque tube (6) by a rod
out of its center position between the two control orifices (8),
resulting in a pressure differential at the end faces of the con-
trol piston (3). This pressure differential causes the position of
the piston to change, so that the pressure port is connected to
one consumer port and, at the same time, the other consumer
port is connected to the return port.
The control piston is connected to the flapper plate or the
torque motor by a torsion spring (mechanical return) (9). The
position of the piston continues to change until the return
torque through the torsion spring and the electro-magnetic
torque of the torque motor reach a state of equilibrium, and the
pressure differential at the flapper jet system becomes zero.
In this way, the stroke of the control piston and thus the flow of
the servo valve is closed loop controlled proportionately to the
electrical input signal. At the same time, it should be noted that
the flow is dependent on the drop in valve pressure.
External trigger electronics (order separately)
The valve is actuated by external trigger electronics (a servo
amplifier), which amplifies an analog input signal (setpoint) so
that the controlled current output signal is capable of driving
the servo valve.

The electrical connections can be made either in series or in parallel. For reasons of
operating safety and the resulting low coil inductivity, we recommend the parallel
connection.
The bridge E-F can be used for electrically recognizing that the plug is correctly
connected or for detecting open circuits.
Connection in parallel: In the plug-in connector, connect contact A to B and C to D.
Connection in series: In the plug-in connector, connect contact B to C.
Electrical actuation from A (+) to D () results in a flow direction of P A and B T.
Reversing electrical actuation produces a flow direction of P B and A T.

The electrical connections can be made either in series or in parallel. For reasons of
operating safety and the resulting low coil inductivity, we recommend the parallel
connection.
The bridge E-F can be used for electrically recognizing that the plug is correctly
connected or for detecting open circuits.
Connection in parallel: In the plug-in connector, connect contact A to B and C to D.
Connection in series: In the plug-in connector, connect contact B to C.
Electrical actuation from A (+) to D () results in a flow direction of P A and B T.
Reversing electrical actuation produces a flow direction of P B and A T.

Valve operating instructions
1)
Nominal flow rate

The nominal flow rate is based on a 100 % setpoint signal at
a valve pressure differential of 70 bar (35 bar per metering
notch). The valve pressure differential should be regarded as
a guide. The flow rate can be affected by other values.
A possible nominal flow tolerance of 10 % (see flow signal
function on page 7) must be taken into consideration.
2)
External trigger electronics

The control signal must be generated by a current regulated
output stage. For trigger electronics (servo amplifiers), see
page 6.
3)
Control oil

This valve is supplied only with an internal control oil supply
and drain.
4)
Inlet pressure range

The system pressure should be kept as constant as possible.
With regard to the dynamics, please bear in mind the fre-
quency relationship within the permissible pressure range of
10 to 210 bar or 10 to 315 bar.
5)
Piston overlap

The piston overlap in % is based on the nominal stroke of
0.5 mm of the control piston.
6)
Seal materials

Valves of this type are electrically operated, 2-stage servo
directional control valves with a mounting hole configuration
to ISO 4401 03 02 0 94. They are predominantly
employed for closed-loop position, draft, pressure and velocity
control.
These valves consist of an electro-mechanical governor (torque
motor) (1), a hydraulic amplifier (flapper jet principle) (2) and a
control piston (3) in a sleeve (2nd stage), which is connected
to the torque motor via a mechanical return.
An electric input signal at the coils (4) of the torque motor
causes a permanent magnet to generate a force that acts on
the armature (5) and, acting by means of a torque tube (6), this
force generates a torque. This torque then moves the flapper
plate (7) which is connected to the torque tube (6) by a rod
out of its center position between the two control orifices (8),
resulting in a pressure differential at the end faces of the con-
trol piston (3). This pressure differential causes the position of
the piston to change, so that the pressure port is connected to
one consumer port and, at the same time, the other consumer
port is connected to the return port.
The control piston is connected to the flapper plate or the
torque motor by a torsion spring (mechanical return) (9). The
position of the piston continues to change until the return
torque through the torsion spring and the electro-magnetic
torque of the torque motor reach a state of equilibrium, and the
pressure differential at the flapper jet system becomes zero.
In this way, the stroke of the control piston and thus the flow of
the servo valve is closed loop controlled proportionately to the
electrical input signal. At the same time, it should be noted that
the flow is dependent on the drop in valve pressure.
External trigger electronics (order separately)
The valve is actuated by external trigger electronics (a servo
amplifier), which amplifies an analog input signal (setpoint) so
that the controlled current output signal is capable of driving
the servo valve.

1)
Volumetric flow index

The nominal flow rate refers to a 100 % setpoint signal at
35 bar valve pressure difference per control helix. Other
values induce a change in the volumetric flow. One should
note the possible nominal volumetric flow tolerance (see
Volumetric flow signal function, page 8).
2)
Electrical triggering data

The control signal must be generated by a current regulated
output stage. For trigger electronics (servo amplifiers), see
page 6.
3)
Control oil

The pilot pressure should be kept as constant as possible.
Therefore, external pilot control via port X can be advanta-
geous. The valve may be operated with higher pressure at X
than at P, to increase the dynamics.
Note:
The X and Y connections also have pressure applied to them
with internal control oil supply.
4)
Supply pressure range

The system pressure should be kept as constant as possible.
Pilot pressure range: 10 to 210 bar or 10 to 315 bar.
With regard to the dynamics, the dependence on the
frequency response must be taken into account within the
permitted pressure range.
5)
Piston overlap

The piston overlap in % is based on the nominal stroke of
the control piston.
6)
Special number 104

At 0 setpoint actuation channel B is set to half the operating
pressure. Channel A is always blocked in the control range.

Function, sectional diagram
4WS2EM 10...XH...-104
Valves of this type are electrically operated, 2-stage servo
directional control valves with a mounting hole configuration to
ISO 4401-05-05-0-94. They are predominantly employed for
closed-loop position, draft, pressure and velocity control.
These valves consist of an electromechanical converter
(torquemotor)(1), a hydraulic amplifier (of the nozzle - baffle
plate type) (2) and a control piston (3) in a sleeve (2nd stage),
which is connected to the torquemotor via a mechanical return.
An electric input signal to the coils (4) of the torquemotor
causes a permanent magnet to generate a force that acts on
the armature (5) and, acting by means of a torsion tube (6),
this force produces a torque. This torque then moves the baffle
plate (7) - which is connected to the torsion tube (6) by a pin
- out of its center position between the two control nozzles (8),
resulting in a pressure difference at the end faces of the con-
trol piston. The pressure differential causes the position of the
piston to change, so that the pressure port (P) is connected
to consumer port (B), or consumer port (B) is connected to
return port (T).
In this special version 104, consumer port A is closed.
The control piston is connected to the baffle plate or the
torquemotor by a torsion spring (mechanical return) (9). The
position of the piston continues to change until the return
torque through the torsion spring and the electromagnetic
torque of the torquemotor reach a state of equilibrium, and
the pressure difference at the nozzle-baffle plate system drops
to zero.
In this way, the stroke of the control piston and thus the flow
rate of the servo valve is regulated proportionately to the elec-
tric input signal. At the same time, it should be noted that the
flow rate is dependent on the pressure drop at the valve.
External trigger electronics (order separately)
The valve is actuated by external trigger electronics (a servo
amplifier), which amplifies an analog input signal (setpoint) to
such an extent that the output signal actuates the servo valve
with flow control.

Conditions for use in Zone 0 The valve cap consists of cast aluminium.
When the valve is to be used as a Category 1 device in Zone 0,
the valve cap must be protected in such a manner that no ignit-
able sparks from friction, impact or grinding can be produced,
even in the event of rarely occurring malfunctions.
Note:
The hydraulic fluid used must have an ignition temperature of
at least 150C.
Required free space for burst protection The specified free space for burst protection (see Page 12)
must remain free, in order that excess pressure occurring in
the event of a fault can be dissipated through the plug in the
valve cap.

Valve operating instructions
1)
Flow code

The nominal flow rate is based on a 100 % setpoint signal at
a valve pressure difference of 70 bar (35 bar per metering
notch). The valve pressure difference should be regarded as
a guide. The flow rate can be affected by other values.
Please note that there is a possible tolerance in the flow rate
of 10 % (see flow rate signal function, Page 8).
2)
Electrical triggering data

The control signal must be generated by a current regulated
output stage. For trigger electronics (servo amplifiers), see
page 6.
3)
Control oil

The pilot pressure should be kept as constant as possible.
Therefore, external pilot control via port X can be advanta-
geous. The valve may be operated with higher pressure at X
than at P, to increase the dynamics. Ports X and Y are also
subjected to pressure when control oil is internal.
4)
Supply pressure range

The system pressure should be kept as constant as possible.
Pilot pressure range: 10 to 210 bar or 10 to 315 bar.
With regard to the dynamics, the dependence on the
frequency response must be taken into account within the
permitted pressure range.
5)
Piston overlap

The piston overlap in % is based on the control pistons
nominal stroke of 0.5 mm.
6)
Seal material

Please ask if you require different seal material.

Function, sectional diagram
4WS2EM 10XH
Valves of this type are electrically operated, 2-stage servo
directional control valves with a mounting hole configuration to
ISO 4401 - 05 - 05 - 0 - 94. They are predominantly employed
for closed-loop position, draft, pressure and velocity control.
These valves consist of an electromechanical converter
(torquemotor)(1), a hydraulic amplifier (of the nozzle - baffle
plate type) (2) and a control piston (3) in a sleeve (2nd stage),
which is connected to the torquemotor via a mechanical return.
An electric input signal to the coils (4) of the torquemotor
causes a permanent magnet to generate a force that acts on
the armature (5) and, acting by means of a torsion tube (6),
this force produces a torque. This torque then moves the baffle
plate (7) - which is connected to the torsion tube (6) by a pin
- out of its center position between the two control nozzles
(8), resulting in a pressure difference at the end faces of the
control piston. This pressure difference causes the position of
the piston to change, so that the pressure port is connected to
one consumer port and, at the same time, the other consumer
port is connected to the return port.
The control piston is connected to the baffle plate or the
torquemotor by a torsion spring (mechanical return) (9). The
position of the piston continues to change until the return
torque through the torsion spring and the electromagnetic
torque of the torquemotor reach a state of equilibrium, and
the pressure difference at the nozzle-baffle plate system drops
to zero.
In this way, the stroke of the control piston and thus the flow
rate of the servo valve is regulated proportionately to the elec-
tric input signal. At the same time, it should be noted that the
flow rate is dependent on the pressure drop at the valve.
External trigger electronics (order separately)
The valve is actuated by external trigger electronics (a servo
amplifier), which amplifies an analog input signal (setpoint) to
such an extent that the output signal actuates the servo valve
with flow control.

Conditions for use in Zone 0 The valve cap consists of cast aluminium.
When the valve is to be used as a Category 1 device in Zone
0, the valve cap must be protected in such a manner that
no ignitable sparks from friction, impact or grinding can be
produced, even in the event of rarely occurring malfunctions.
The hydraulic fluid used must have an ignition temperature of
at least 150C.
Required free space for burst protection The specified free space for burst protection (see Page 12)
must remain free, in order that excess pressure occurring in
the event of a fault can be dissipated through the plug in the
valve cap.

Symbols
1)
Nominal flow rate

The nominal flow is based on a 100 % setpoint signal at a
valve pressure differential of 70 bar (35 bar per metering
notch). The valve pressure differential should be regarded as
a guide. The flow can be affected by other values.
A possible nominal flow tolerance of 10 % (see flow signal
function on page 7) must be taken into consideration.
2)
Electrical triggering data

The control signal must be generated by a current-regulated
output stage. For trigger electronics (servo amplifiers), see
page 6.
3)
Control oil

The pilot pressure should be kept as constant as possible.
Therefore, external pilot control via port X can often be
advantageous. The valve may be operated with higher
pressure at X than at P, to positively influence the dynamics.
Ports X and Y are also pressurized when control oil is
internal.
Note:
Ports X and Y are also subject to pressure when the
supply and drain of control oil is internal.
4)
Inlet pressure range

The system pressure should be kept as constant as possible.
Pilot pressure range: 10 to 210 bar or 10 to 315 bar
With regard to the dynamics, the frequency relationship
within the permissible pressure range must be taken into
account.
5)
Piston overlap

The piston overlap in % is based on the nominal stroke of
the control piston.
6)

Valves of this type are electrically operated, 2-stage servo
directional control valves with a mounting hole configuration to
ISO 4401-05-05-0-94. They are predominantly employed for
closed-loop position, draft, pressure and velocity control.
These valves consist of an electro-mechanical governor (torque
motor) (1), a hydraulic amplifier (flapper jet principle) (2) and a
control piston (3) in a sleeve (2nd stage), which is connected
to the torque motor via a mechanical return.
An electrical input signal at the coils (4) of the torque motor
causes a permanent magnet to generate a force that acts on
the armature (5) and, acting by means of a torque tube (6), this
force generates a torque. This torque then moves the flapper
plate (7) - which is connected to the torque tube (6) by a rod
- out of its central position between the two control orifices
(8), resulting in a pressure differential at the end faces of the
control piston. This pressure differential causes the position of
the piston to change, so that the pressure port is connected to
one consumer port and, at the same time, the other consumer
port is connected to the return port.
The control piston is connected to the flapper plate or the
torque motor by a torsion spring (mechanical return) (9). The
position of the piston continues to change until the return
torque through the torsion spring and the electro-magnetic
torque of the torque motor reach a state of equilibrium, and the
pressure differential at the flapper jet system becomes zero.
In this way, the stroke of the control piston and thus the flow
of the servo valve are closed-loop-controlled proportionately to
the electrical input signal. At the same time, it should be noted
that the flow is dependent on the valve pressure differential.

The valve is actuated by external trigger electronics (a servo
amplifier), which amplifies an analog input signal (setpoint) so
that the controlled-current output signal is capable of driving
the servo valve.

The electrical connections can be made either in series or in parallel. For reasons
of operating safety and the resulting low coil inductivity, we recommend the parallel
connection.
The bridge E-F can be used for electrically recognizing that the plug is correctly
connected or for detecting open circuits.
Parallel connection: In the plug-in connector, connect contact A to B and C to D.
Series connection: In the plug-in connector, connect contact B to C.
Electrical actuation from A (+) to D (-) results in a flow direction of
P A and B T. Reversing electrical actuation produces a flow direction of P B
and A T.

Symbols
1)
Nominal flow rate

The nominal flow is based on a 100 % setpoint signal at a
valve pressure differential of 70 bar (35 bar per metering
notch). The valve pressure differential should be regarded as
a guide. The flow can be affected by other values.
A possible nominal flow tolerance of 10 % (see flow signal
function on page 7) must be taken into consideration.
2)
Electrical triggering data

The control signal must be generated by a current-regulated
output stage. For trigger electronics (servo amplifiers), see
page 6.
3)
Control oil

The pilot pressure should be kept as constant as possible.
Therefore, external pilot control via port X can often be
advantageous. The valve may be operated with higher
pressure at X than at P, to positively influence the dynamics.
Ports X and Y are also pressurized when control oil is
internal.
Note:
Ports X and Y are also subject to pressure when the
supply and drain of control oil is internal.
4)
Inlet pressure range

The system pressure should be kept as constant as possible.
Pilot pressure range: 10 to 210 bar or 10 to 315 bar
With regard to the dynamics, the frequency relationship
within the permissible pressure range must be taken into
account.
5)
Piston overlap

The piston overlap in % is based on the nominal stroke of
the control piston.

Valves of this type are electrically operated, 2-stage servo
directional control valves with a mounting hole configuration to
ISO 4401-05-05-0-94. They are predominantly employed for
closed-loop position, draft, pressure and velocity control.
These valves consist of an electro-mechanical governor (torque
motor) (1), a hydraulic amplifier (flapper jet principle) (2) and a
control piston (3) in a sleeve (2nd stage), which is connected
to the torque motor via a mechanical return.
An electrical input signal at the coils (4) of the torque motor
causes a permanent magnet to generate a force that acts on
the armature (5) and, acting by means of a torque tube (6), this
force generates a torque. This torque then moves the flapper
plate (7) - which is connected to the torque tube (6) by a rod
- out of its central position between the two control orifices
(8), resulting in a pressure differential at the end faces of the
control piston. This pressure differential causes the position of
the piston to change, so that the pressure port is connected to
one consumer port and, at the same time, the other consumer
port is connected to the return port.
The control piston is connected to the flapper plate or the
torque motor by a torsion spring (mechanical return) (9). The
position of the piston continues to change until the return
torque through the torsion spring and the electro-magnetic
torque of the torque motor reach a state of equilibrium, and the
pressure differential at the flapper jet system becomes zero.
In this way, the stroke of the control piston and thus the flow
of the servo valve are closed-loop-controlled proportionately to
the electrical input signal. At the same time, it should be noted
that the flow is dependent on the valve pressure differential.
External trigger electronics (order separately)
The valve is actuated by external trigger electronics (a servo
amplifier), which amplifies an analog input signal (setpoint) so
that the controlled-current output signal is capable of driving
the servo valve.

The electrical connections can be made either in series or in parallel. For reasons
of operating safety and the resulting low coil inductivity, we recommend the parallel
connection.
The bridge E-F can be used for electrically recognizing that the plug is correctly
connected or for detecting open circuits.
Parallel connection: In the plug-in connector, connect contact A to B and C to D.
Series connection: In the plug-in connector, connect contact B to C.
Electrical actuation from A (+) to D (-) results in a flow direction of
P A and B T. Reversing electrical actuation produces a flow direction of P B
and A T.

Symbols
1)
Nominal flow

The nominal flow is based on a setpoint signal of 100 %
at a pressure differential of 35 bar per notch. Different values
cause the flow rate to change. Please note a possible
flow rate tolerance (see flow signal function on page 7).
2)
Electrical triggering data

The control signal must be generated by a current-regulated
output stage. For trigger electronics (servo amplifiers), see
page 6.
3)
Control oil

The pilot pressure should be kept as constant as possible.
Therefore, external pilot control via port X can often be
advantageous. The valve may be operated with higher
pressure at X than at P, to positively influence the dynamics.
Ports X and Y are also pressurized when control oil is
internal.
Note:
Ports X and Y are also subject to pressure when the
supply and drain of control oil is internal.
4)
Inlet pressure range

The system pressure should be kept as constant as possible.
Pilot pressure range: 10 to 210 bar or 10 to 315 bar
With regard to the dynamics, the frequency relationship
within the permissible pressure range must be taken into
account.
5)
Piston overlap

The piston overlap in % is based on the nominal stroke of
the control piston.
6)
Non-standard version number 114

Function, sectional diagram
4WS2EM 10-5X/...XN...-114
Valves of this type are electrically operated, 2-stage servo
directional control valves with a mounting hole configuration to
ISO 4401-05-05-0-94. They are predominantly employed for
closed-loop position, draft, pressure and velocity control.
These valves consist of an electro-mechanical governor (torque
motor) (1), a hydraulic amplifier (flapper jet principle) (2) and a
control piston (3) in a sleeve (2nd stage), which is connected
to the torque motor via a mechanical return.
An electrical input signal at the coils (4) of the torque motor
causes a permanent magnet to generate a force that acts on
the armature (5) and, acting by means of a torque tube (6), this
force generates a torque. This torque then moves the flapper
plate (7) - which is connected to the torque tube (6) by a rod
- out of its central position between the two control orifices
(8), resulting in a pressure differential at the end faces of the
control piston.
The pressure differential causes the position of the piston
to change, so that the pressure port (P) is connected to
consumer port (B), or consumer port (B) is connected to
return port (T).
In this special version 114, consumer port A is closed.
The control piston is connected to the flapper plate or the
torque motor by a torsion spring (mechanical return) (9). The
position of the piston continues to change until the return
torque through the torsion spring and the electro-magnetic
torque of the torque motor reach a state of equilibrium, and the
pressure differential at the flapper jet system becomes zero.
In this way, the stroke of the control piston and thus the
flow of the servo valve are controlled proportionately to the
electrical input signal. At the same time, please note that the
flow is dependent on the drop in pressure at the metering
edge.
External trigger electronics (order separately)
The valve is actuated by external trigger electronics (a servo
amplifier), which amplifies an analog input signal (setpoint) so
that the controlled-current output signal is capable of driving
the servo valve.

The electrical connections can be made either in series or in parallel. For reasons
of operating safety and the resulting low coil inductivity, we recommend the parallel
connection.
The bridge E-F can be used for electrically recognizing that the plug is correctly
connected or for detecting open circuits.
Parallel connection: In the plug-in connector, connect contact A to B and C to D.
Series connection: In the plug-in connector, connect contact B to C.
Electrical actuation from A (+) to D (-) results in a flow direction of B T. Reversing
electrical actuation produces a flow direction of P B.

Valve operating instructions
1)
Flow code

The nominal flow is based on a 100 % setpoint signal at a
valve pressure differential of 70 bar (35 bar per metering
notch). The valve pressure differential should be regarded as
a guide. The flow can be affected by other values.
A possible nominal flow tolerance of 10 % (see flow signal
function on page 7) must be taken into consideration.
2)
Electrical triggering data

The control signal must be generated by a current-regulated
output stage. For trigger electronics (servo amplifiers), see
page 6.
3)
Control oil

The pilot pressure should be kept as constant as possible.
Therefore, external pilot control via port X can often be
advantageous. The valve may be operated with higher
pressure at X than at P, to positively influence the dynamics.
Ports X and Y are also pressurized when control oil is
internal.
4)
Inlet pressure range

The system pressure should be kept as constant as possible.
Pilot pressure range: 10 to 210 bar or 10 to 315 bar
With regard to the dynamics, the frequency relationship
within the permissible pressure range must be taken into
account.
5)
Piston overlap

The piston overlap in % is based on the nominal stroke of
0.5 mm of the control piston.
6)
Seal materials

Please ask if you require different seal material.

Valves of this type are electrically operated, 2-stage servo
directional control valves with a mounting hole configuration
to ISO 4401 05 05. They are predominantly employed for
closed-loop position, draft, pressure and velocity control.
These valves consist of an electro-mechanical governor (torque
motor) (1), a hydraulic amplifier (flapper jet principle) (2) and a
control piston (3) in a sleeve (2nd stage), which is connected
to the torque motor via a mechanical return.
An electrical input signal at the coils (4) of the torque motor
causes a permanent magnet to generate a force that acts on
the armature (5) and, acting by means of a torque tube (6), this
force generates a torque. This torque then moves the flapper
plate (7) - which is connected to the torque tube (6) by a rod
- out of its central position between the two control orifices
(8), resulting in a pressure differential at the end faces of the
control piston. This pressure differential causes the position of
the piston to change, so that the pressure port is connected to
one consumer port and, at the same time, the other consumer
port is connected to the return port.
The control piston is connected to the flapper plate or the
torque motor by a torsion spring (mechanical return) (9). The
position of the piston continues to change until the return
torque through the torsion spring and the electro-magnetic
torque of the torque motor reach a state of equilibrium, and the
pressure differential at the flapper jet system becomes zero.
In this way, the stroke of the control piston and thus the flow
of the servo valve are closed-loop-controlled proportionately to
the electrical input signal. At the same time, it should be noted
that the flow is dependent on the valve pressure differential.
External trigger electronics (order separately)
The valve is actuated by external trigger electronics (a servo
amplifier), which amplifies an analog input signal (setpoint) so
that the controlled-current output signal is capable of driving
the servo valve.

The electrical connections can be made either in series or in parallel. For reasons
of operating safety and the resulting low coil inductivity, we recommend the parallel
connection.
The bridge E-F can be used for electrically recognizing that the plug is correctly
connected or for detecting open circuits.
Parallel connection: In the plug-in connector, connect contact A to B and C to D.
Series connection: In the plug-in connector, connect contact B to C.
Electrical actuation from A (+) to D (-) results in a flow direction of
P A and B T. Reversing electrical actuation produces a flow direction of P B
and A T.

Functional description
General
The amplifier modules are to be snapped onto hat rails accord-
ing to EN 60715. They are electrically connected by means of
screw terminals. The modules are operated with 24 V DC.
Power supply unit (1)
The amplifier modules are shipped with a power supply unit
with switch-on current limitation. It provides all internally
required positive and negative supply voltages. The switch-on
current limitation prevents excessive switch-on current peaks.
Command value
The internal command value signal is generated from the exter-
nal command value signal applied to differential input (2).
A positive command value causes in increase in current in
solenoid b and therefore a flow in the valve from P A and
from B T.
A negative command value causes in increase in current in
solenoid a and therefore a flow in the valve from P B and
from A T.
Enable function (10)
The enable function is used for enabling the current output
stages and passing the internal command value signal on to
the ramp generator. The enable signal is signalled by an LED
on the front panel. When the enable is granted, the internal
command value (with optional command value feedforward)
changes with the set ramp time. A valve does therefore not
open suddenly when activated.
Ramp generator (3)
The ramp generator limits the gradient of the control output.
The downstream step functions do not extend or shorten the
ramp time.
Note on the adjustment and measurement of the ramp time:
Value at measuring socket "t <" or "t >" U
t
in V 5 3 2
Current ramp time ( 20 %) t in ms 20 33 50
U
t
in V 1 0.5 0.3 0.2 0.1 0.05 0.03 0.02
t in ms 100 200 333 500 1000 2000 3333 5000
The following is
valid:
t =
100 Vms
U
t
Example: Measured U
t
= 5 V
results in t =
100 Vms
= 20 ms
5 V
Characteristic curve generator (4)
The adjustable characteristic curve generator can be used to
adjust the step-change height separately for positive and nega-
tive signals to the requirements of the hydraulic system. The
actual course of the characteristic curve through the zero point
is not stepped, but linear. (Characteristic curve, see page 5)
Amplitude limiter (5)
The command value is limited to approx. 110 % of the nomi-
nal range.
Current regulator (6)
The current is regulated in dependence upon the command
value.
Current output stage (7)
The current output stage generates the clocked solenoid cur-
rent for the proportional valve. The nominal solenoid current
is 1000 mA per output. The output stage outputs are short-
circuit-proof. In the event of an internal fault signal or missing
enable, the output stages are de-energised.
Clock-pulse generator (8)
The clock-pulse generator generates clock frequency f of the
output stages.
f = 150 Hz 400 Hz, adjustable with the help of potentiome-
ter f (pre-set to 240 Hz)
Fault detector (10)
Monitors the solenoid cables for cable break and the output
stage for overcurrent.
Command value inversion (11)
The command value generated from the input signal and the
zero point offset signal can be inverted by means of an external
signal.

Important notes / adjustment information
Risk of explosion in the case of incorrect installation !
To achieve the prescribed level of safety when operating one of the listed valves in a potentially explosive atmosphere,
this amplifier module must be connected to safety module VT-MUXA2.
In this context, read operating instructions RE 30290-B0 for the safety module!
This amplifier module and safety module VT-MUXA may only be installed outside potentially explosive atmospheres!
The amplifier module is not subject to Directive 94/9/EC (ATEX Directive) !
Further notes:
The amplifier module may only be wired when disconnected from the power supply!
Do not lay signal cables near power cables and lines!
Do not use free-wheeling diodes in solenoid cables!
The distance to aerial lines, radio sources and radar equipment must be at least 1 m!
Always shield command value cables and connect the shield to the protective earth (PE) on the module side!
Also shield solenoid cables!
For solenoid cables up to 50 m length, use cable type LiYCY 1.5 mm
2
!
In the case of greater lengths, please consult us!
For applications and use in conjunction with safety module VT-MUXA, please observe the installation instructions in the
associated operating instructions RE 30290-B0.
Use relays with gold-plated contacts for passing on command values (small voltages, small currents)!
Measurements on the module may only be taken with instruments with Ri > 100 k.
For adjusting the potentiometers, use a screwdriver with a blade width of 4 mm!
In the case of strongly fluctuating operating voltages, it may be required to install an external smoothing capacitor having a
capacitance of at least 2200 F.
Recommendation: Capacitor module VT 11073 (see RE 29750), sufficient for up to 3 amplifier modules
In conjunction with safety module VT-MUXA, the operating voltage must be directed via a capacitor module.
The solenoid current connections to safety module VT-MUXA must be routed via ferrite sleeves. These ferrite sleeves are in-
cluded in the scope of supply of safety module VT-MUXA.
The clock frequency is factory-set to 240 Hz. Turning of potentiometer f results in a change in the valve hysteresis and can
cause annoying noise.

The VT-MUXA2-1 safety module is an associated piece of ap-
paratus in accordance with Directive RL 94/9/EC. It serves
the purpose of technical safety by monitoring and limiting the
solenoid currents of a proportional valve of the Increased
Safety explosion protection type, device group II, zone 1, gas
explosion protection.
The safety module contains two current circuits that are rele-
vant to safety. The solenoid currents are limited so as to pre-
vent the solenoids from overheating and potentially causing
sparks that would ignite the explosive atmosphere.
The solenoid currents required to operate the valve are sup-
plied by an amplifier (order separately).
The amplifier has been adapted in line with the nominal current
data of the solenoid (nominal current = 1.03 A). With a set-
point input of 10 V, it delivers an output current of 1.0 A.
The amplifier can supplier a current greater than 1.0 A in the
event of a fault or incorrect operation. Then, explosion protec-
tion is no longer guaranteed. The series-connected safety
module detects the excess current and reduces the setpoint
or shuts off the solenoid current.
Risk of explosion if incorrectly installed!
The following rules are essential!
1. The amplifier and the safety module must be installed
outside the potentially explosive area.
2. The safety module must be connected between the
amplifier output and the solenoid and between the
control output (setpoint input from higher-level
controller) and the amplifier input (see circuit diagram).
3. Valves with a maximum solenoid current of less than
1.0 A must not be connected.
Only connect valve solenoids with a maximum current
that matches the monitoring current of the safety
module.

Function
Power pack (1)
The internal power pack supplies the auxiliary voltages that
are required internally.
A green LED (power) indicates that the power pack is
functioning.
Power pack monitor (2)
If the internal supply voltages are missing, the signal NTF
causes the relay to be switched off. There is no additional
monitoring of voltages that are essential in order to trigger
the relay.
Ammeter (3)
The solenoid currents I
A
and I
B
are measured on their advance
and return paths (AV, AR, BV, BR). Both measurement results
are evaluated independently of one another. Protective diodes
are provided to ensure protection against reversed polarity.
The two currents I
A
and I
B
are added together, as neither the
individual solenoid current nor the sum total of currently may
exceed the specific limit value.
Symmetry monitor (4)
As the advancing and returning currents have to be identical,
the total currents IVS and IRS are also identical. In the event
of deviations, e.g. on short to ground or incorrect current meas-
urement, the fault signal DI is generated to trip the relay.
Corrective signal generator (5)
Corrective signals are used
a) as an auxiliary signal for the correction (absolute value re-
duction) of the setpoint conveyed to the amplifier as soon
as the maximum permitted solenoid current is exceeded.
b) as an auxiliary signal for shutting off the solenoid current
circuits if measure a) is ineffective.
Setpoint correction (6)
The setpoint emitted by the controller for the solenoid current
is conveyed to the valve amplifier unaffected, provided that the
solenoid current lies within the nominal range. If the maximum
permitted current is exceeded, however, within a few seconds
the setpoint value is reduced with a ramp-type characteristic,
until the current drops to the limit value. This prevents the
current from being shut off abruptly. If the corrected setpoint
reaches a value less than approx. 50 % of the nominal value
and the solenoid current does not decrease, it will be shut off
by the relay contacts.
The setpoint correction is not redundant in design. In the event
of circuit failure or a faulty setpoint signal, shutoff will always
be executed by the relay contacts if the solenoid currents have
exceeded the permitted level.
Relay trigger (7)
The relays for switching the solenoid currents on and off each
feature their own trigger electronics with the inputs DI, NTF
and the signals from the corrective signal generator (5).
Shutoff
Shutoff takes place when the permitted maximum current is
exceeded, as soon as at least one corrective signal does
not produce a reduction in current, or one of the redundant
ammeters reveals differences in measured values (symmetry
monitor). Furthermore, the relays remain off whilst the self-test
is running after switch-off or reset.
Switch-on
The relays are only ever switched on after the self-test has
been successfully completed.
Safety measures
In order to ensure compliance with Safety Category 3 as per
EN 954-1, the following technical measures have been imple-
mented in the circuitry:
Power pack monitoring
Redundant current measurement
Symmetry monitoring of current measurement
Redundant corrective signal generation
Redundant relay triggers and relays
Relay with positively driven contacts
Self test.
Self-test (8)
The self-test is necessary to ensure compliance with Safety
Category 3 to EN 954-1, since any errors that occur in the
redundant safety functions must be detected. The setpoint cor-
rection circuit (6) is not checked during the self-test. The self-
test is performed each time the operating voltage is switched
on and each time the electronics are reset both manually and
electronically. The self-test is started manually by pressing the
Reset button S1. The electronic reset is caused by a positive
edge at the 24V reset input.
Unintentional movement of plant/machine possible!
If the self-test is activated during operation, both relays
are opened. This considerably disrupts hydraulic function.
To prevent inadvertent actuation, the function of the S1
Reset button can be suppressed by a 24 V signal at the re-
set input. This 24 V signal must be removed again in order
to perform the self-test and check the safety module.
OK output (9)
As soon as the Test OK signal has been transmitted and both
relays have switched, this is indicated by a 24 V output signal
and by the LED.

The Type HED 8 hydro-electric pressure switch is a plunger-
type model.
It basically consists of a housing (1), cartridge unit comprising
plunger (2), compression spring (3), adjusting element (4) and
micro-switch (5).
The micro-switch (5) is operated if the monitored pressure lies
below the set value. The monitored pressure is available at
the plunger (2) via the nozzle (7). The plunger (2) rests on the
spring disk (6) and acts against the infinitely adjustable force
of the compression spring (3). The spring disk (6) transmits the
motion of the plunger (2) to the micro-switch (5), which is then
released once the set pressure is achieved. This then switches
the flow of electrical current on or off, depending on how the
circuit is arranged. The mechanical stop of the spring disk (6)
protects the micro-switch (5) from being destroyed in the
event of a sudden drop in pressure, and prevents excessive
compression of the spring (3) in the case of excess pressure.
Note:
To increase service life, the pressure switch should be
fitted in a such a way that it is not subject to high vibration
protected against hydraulic pressure surges.
