GENERAL TECHNICAL CONDITIONS OF THE LINEAR HYDRAULIC MOTORS
For production, supply and operation of the hydraulic cylinders
1. INTRODUCTION
These technical conditions (hereinafter referred to as “TC”) are processed, in technical and economical terms, for production, supply, use and operation of the linear hydraulic motors (hereinafter referred to as “LHM”) for road and constructional machinery. These hydraulic cylinders are specifically designed for use in the road and constructional machinery. They are binding for both supplier and customer and make part of the sale and purchase agreements.
2. SCOPE OF APPLICATION
2.1 Use
The linear hydraulic motors are the elements, which transform the pressure head into the mechanical i.e. axial force in the piston rod extraction or retraction.
The LHM constructed as single-purpose ones, for an integration into the hydraulic system of the road and constructional machinery. Their further utilization must be approved by a designer.
2.2. Conditional characteristics for the products are:
- keeping the manufacturer and customer informed on instructions for the tests, acceptance, supply, warranties, packing, transport, storage and maintenance requirements.
- they make an integral part at signing up of the economic agreements or contracts and solving the controversies between the manufacturer and customer.
- execution of modifications in the TC, which relate to the main technical parameters of the product, must be reciprocally approved between the manufacturer, customer and author of the TC

-recommended oils: hydraulic oils of the ISO-L HM classes and HV grade 32 to 68, or their ecological equivalents.
If an operation in difficult temperature conditions of - 40 C up to + 80 C is required, some modifications of material, technical and technological configuration of the LHM will be necessary. The modifications have effect on an advanced price and prolongation of the term of delivery up to about 4 months.
4.2 Operating position:
Operating position of the linear hydraulic motor is optional. The installation must be carried out in such a manner that the piston rod is stressed only by axial forces. Radial load of the piston rod by external forces is not allowed. Rotational movement of the piston rod out of the end positions is allowed only in a restricted range. Fixation method is determined by the LHM construction and no restriction of the hinge bearing inclination in the range specified in the STN ISO 12240 may occur.
5. QUALITY PARAMETERS
5.1 Criteria of the reliability indicators according to STN 010606 standard
-product class: 3
-time mode of the operation: operative
-reliability group: I.

-internal - leakage of the working fluid at a nominal pressure and kinematic viscosity of 40 . l0-6 mm/s2 maximum
L = 148 . 10-6. D2
L = Leakage cm/3 minutes
D = Piston diameter mm
7. TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION AND REQUIREMENTS FOR THE PRODUCT EXECUTION
7.1 Technical description
The linear hydraulic motor consists of a steel pipe, which the lids and fastening elements are screwed down and sealed or welded up to. The inlet openings are located in the rear lid or welded up on the pipe. A piston with a piston rod, which are bind together by a thread and sealed, are placed in the pipe. The piston sealing is carried out by a compact sealing set, which contains also a guiding part. The piston rod is sealed by a slot cup inserted into the front lid, its guiding is provided by the guide rings. A scrapper ring is placed outside in the front lid and it prevents from an intrusion of the impurities to the inside of the linear hydraulic motor.
7.2. Production

11. PACKING AND PROTECTIVE MEASURES
11.1 Preservation
Before sending any linear hydraulic motor to a customer the product must be furnished with preservation and packed according to the point 11.2 of these TC.
Internal spaces of the linear hydraulic motor are conserved with a test fluid having a preservation effect. The inlet opening must be tightly closed by a cover. Free end and unpainted areas are spread with preserving grease and covered by a foil wrapper.
Basic preservation period is 6 months. After expiration of this period the preservations must be restored. Date of the first preservation is specified in the certificate of product quality and completeness.
11.2 Packing
The packing must provide the product protection against damage, contamination and weather effects. The packing conditions are specified by an agreement with the customer and they will make part of an economic contract for the linear hydraulic motor supply.
11.3 Transport
Linear hydraulic motors may be transported by ordinary means of transport in a package, which will provide their protection against damage, contamination and weather effects. During the time of transport the packages containing the linear hydraulic motors must be properly fixed to the means of transport.
11.4 Storage
It is necessary to store the linear hydraulic motors being preserved in reserved and dustless places with a relative air humidity of max.70 % at a stagnation ambient temperature. Sudden ambient temperature variations are not allowed since they can cause a dew of the metal parts and whereby danger of an accelerated corrosion occurs.
The storage space must be protected against intrusion of aggressive substances and must not be used at the same time for storage of chemicals. The storage position is horizontal and in pallets. When 6 months expire after the last or first preservation, a new preservation of internal and external parts must be carried out according to the Art. 11.1.
11.5 Warranties
The manufacturer provides a warranty of 8 months from the supply date, maximum up to 106 cycles or 400 km of the slide way of the sealants used in the operation (by reason of the sealant lifetime) if not agreed otherwise with the customer.
When enforcing a complaint, it is necessary to submit the certificate of product quality and completeness or a photocopy of the certificate (from the dispatched lot), as well as a written protocol on the pressure test execution after the LHM installation (10 cycles with a rated load of the LHM).
Only purified LHM without connection and clamping elements of the customer and with the plugged inlet openings and without any intervention to the LHM, will be accepted for complaint. Warranty may be enforced only if the TC of the product in question and these TC are observed.
12. INSTRUCTIONS FOR SERVICE
12.1. Operation
Hydraulic circuit must be completely deaerated after the LHM integration into the object – this must be provided also after an operation termination of the LHM longer than 48 hours – by execution of several double strokes without load up to the extreme positions with a pressure holding time of min. 10 seconds.
No underpressure and LHM air intake during operation is allowed. At activation of the LHM there may be an increased quantity of oil on the piston rod in the first several tens of the operation cycles. It is the oil, which remains in the space between the oil scrapper ring and sealing ring after the installation. This phenomenon will discontinue after having taken max. 100 complete double strokes and it is not a reason for complaint enforcement for an external leakage.
It is necessary to protect the piston rod against any mechanical damage, impact by a hard object and the like, during the LHM storage or operation. The piston rod is equipped with a hard chrome coat, which provides a high wear resistance, but not a perfect corrosion resistance. Therefore in case of a longer discontinuity of the machine operation it is suitable to keep the piston rod inserted. If this is not possible and there is a longer work discontinuity (more than 5 days), then it is necessary to coat the piston rod with a preserving grease.
Before re-actuation of the machine it is necessary to remove hardened impurities from the piston rod. During the winter operation, before putting the machine into service, it is necessary to remove any frost deposit from the extracted piston rod (the frost will damage the sealing in one stroke).
12.2. Maintenance
Linear hydraulic motors do not require any special maintenance during the time of their operation; however, it is necessary to check regularly whether some foreign particles did not damage the piston rod or whether there was no excessive leakage of oil around the piston rod, eventually whether the scrapper ring was not damaged.
Repair or replacement of the damaged parts must be carried out in a specialist workshop dedicated for it and by a specialist assigned for hydraulic devices repair.
The eye bearings must be regularly and sufficiently lubricated.
13. WARRANTY CONDITIONS
13.1. Warranty
The manufacturer provides warranty for a failure-free warranty of the LHM for a period of 18 months or for 4 x 105 working strokes in accordance with the point 5.2 of the TECHNICAL CONDITIONS (TC).
