4.2 Functional description
In order for you to be in a position to identify problems in a axial piston unit pump
and to perform repairs effectively, knowledge of the functionality and the overall
structure of the device is essential.
This section gives you a high level overview.
The A6VM is an axial piston variable motor with axial tapered piston rotary group of
bent-axis design, for use in open and closed circuits. Flow is proportional to drive
speed and displacement. The flow can be steplessly changed by adjusting the bent
axis. For Axial piston uniten with bent-axis design, the pistons (3) are arranged at
an angle to the drive shaft (1).
Open circuit In the open circuit, the hydraulic fluid flows from the reservoir to the hydraulic
pump from where it is transported to the hydraulic motor. From the hydraulic motor,
the hydraulic fluid flows directly back to the reservoir. The drive direction of the
hydraulic motor can be changed, e.g. by a directional valve.
Closed circuit In the closed circuit, the hydraulic fluid flows from the hydraulic pump to the
hydraulic motor and from there directly back to the hydraulic pump. The drive
direction of the hydraulic motor is changed, e.g. by reversing the flow direction
in the hydraulic pump.
A detailed functional description is contained in the product-specific instruction

manual 91610-01-B.
