  • Patent number: 8082125
    Abstract: The invention relates to an apparatus (1) and a method for the condition-dependent maintenance of hydrostatic displacement units (2), in particular axial piston machines (3) operated as pumps or motors. Mounted on the hydrostatic displacement unit (2) are acceleration sensors (4) and/or contamination level sensors (5) which capture vibration data and/or contamination data of the hydrostatic displacement unit (2) and are connected to an evaluation unit (6) which temporarily stores the vibration data and/or contamination data. A communication unit (7) connected to the evaluation unit (6) retransmits said data.

  • Patent number: 7860683
    Abstract: The invention relates to a device (1) for state monitoring in hydrostatic displacement units (2), in particular in axial piston machines (3) operated as a pump or as a motor. The device (1) comprises an acquisition unit (4) with a multiplicity of sensors (5) which are attached to the hydrostatic displacement unit (2) and serve to acquire monitoring data (6) and operating data (7), and an evaluating unit (8) which has a device (9) for analysing the monitoring data in the frequency range and a device (10) for analysing the monitoring data in the time range. A diagnostic unit (11) with an output unit (13) is connected to the evaluating unit (8).
