What is a hydraulic accumulator?

An accumulator is a vessel that stores, maintains, and recovers pressure in a hydraulic system. You might be familiar with most hydraulic components, such as pumps, valves, motors, and actuators, but the accumulator is another very important component. Figure 1.

What are some uses of HYDAC hydraulic accumulators?

HYDAC hydraulic accumulators are used to increase the energy efficiency of hydraulic systems and for many other tasks. They are versatile, make your machine more convenient to use, secure your hydraulic system and are used to increase the energy efficiency of hydraulic systems and for many other tasks.

Are hydraulic accumulators dangerous?

Hydraulic accumulators are basic devices with minimal moving parts, but maintaining them can be dangerous. Accumulators are pressure vessels, just like compressed gas cylinders, and may require special third-party inspection.

How does a hydraulic control system function?

A hydraulic control system directs the flow of fluid to different devices within the system. Most accumulators don’t require any input signals from the control system directly—the fluid is usually piped directly into and out of the accumulator.

How do accumulators work?

Accumulators work by absorbing excess pressure in a system. When the temperature rises, the volume of the fluid increases. If there is no room in the system for the fluid to expand, the pressure could cause a rupture. Accumulators allow this excess pressure to fill the accumulator, preventing damage to the system.

What types of accumulators are available?

HYDRAULICS ARE YOUR HOME: Bladder accumulators, piston accumulators, diaphragm accumulators, and metal bellows accumulators are among the accumulator types available. Our hydraulic specialists can assist you in selecting the right design and determining the suitable accumulator model.
