Bridgetown micro hydraulic station accumulator

Why are accumulators important for electrohydraulic motion control systems?

Accumulators can conserve energy, make systems easier to control, and extend a machine's useful life, making them especially important for electrohydraulic motion control systems This file type includes high resolution graphics and schematics when applicable.

What is a hydraulic accumulator?

One of the most important, but possibly least understood components of a hydraulic motion system is not an active component at all. It is component that saves power, makes the system easier to control, and can extend a machine's useful life — the accumulator.

What is a HYDAC charging and testing block?

CHARGING AND TESTING BLOCK The HYDAC charging and testing block F+P is used to charge and test back-up-type hydraulic accumulator stations. It has connections for the charging and testing unit FPU-1 and the pressure gauge.

What is a piston accumulator?

max. 3. PISTON ACCUMULATORS a sealing system adapted to the particular application. The piston floats on two guide rings which prevent metal-to-metal contact between the piston and the accumulator wall.

What are accumulators used for?

Among the least understood system elements, accumulators have many purposes in hydraulic motion control applications. Three of the most important roles are storing energy, keeping the supply pressure constant and reducing shock.

Where should accumulators be mounted?

P0 = 1279 psig. Accumulators should be mounted as close as possible to where the energy is being used, not where it is being generated. This placement will reduce the pressure losses between the accumulator and the valve.
