Hydraulic accumulators
A hydraulic accumulator is essentially a type of
energy storage device, a pressure storage reservoir
in which a non-compressible hydraulic fluid is held
under pressure by an external source. The external
source can be a spring, a raised weight, or a
compressed gas. A hydraulic accumulator enables a
hydraulic system to:
- cope with extremes of
demand using a less powerful pump
- store power
for intermittent duty cycles
- provide emergency
or standby power
- respond more quickly to a
temporary demand
- smooth out pulsations
-
compensate for leakage loss
So if you’re
looking for a hydraulic accumulator, whether it’s a:
bladder accumulator, diaphragm accumulator or piston
accumulator, then you’ve come to the right place.
Our manufacturers section above shows just some of
the hydraulic manufacturers and brands that we can
supply. But don’t worry if you’re not sure on what
sort of hydraulic accumulator you need; our
experienced team can help determine the one that
will be best suited to your application.our technical reference section provides some useful articles and information that may be of interest.
