What is a hydraulic accumulator?

Experience Freudenberg Sealing Technologies, its products and service offerings in text and videos, network with colleagues and stakeholders, and make valuable business contacts. A hydraulic accumulator is a pressure vessel that performs many tasks in a hydraulic system. Learn more about piston, diaphragm and bladder accumulators.

Can a hydraulic accumulator dampen a forklift lift mast?

Freudenberg Sealing Technologies has developed a compact hydraulic accumulator that optimally dampens the lift mast of forklift trucks under varying load.

What is a hydraulic forklift?

A hydraulic forklift lifts and holds the load in the air while the forklift moves. A forklift hydraulic system is the heart of the machine because it is responsible for moving pallets. And the heart of your company’s safety program is proper hydraulic forklift training and certification! The levers control the hydraulic system in a forklift.

Why should you use hydraulic accumulators?

Compared to previous solutions that employ several hydraulic accumulators, this not only reduces the installation space and the number of hydraulic connections, but also gives the driver a clearer view from the cab. Hydraulic accumulators have proven themselves not only as energy accumulators but also as pulsation and vibration dampers.

What are accumulators used for?

They are used to maintain pressure, store and recapture energy, reduce pressure peaks, power chassis suspensions, and dampen shock, vibration and pulsations. Under gas pressure, accumulators store a volume of fluid that can be re-fed into the hydraulic system when it is needed.

What are the advantages of a compact hydraulic accumulator?

Freudenberg Sealing Technologies has now developed a new compact hydraulic accumulator that offers several advantages all at once. The main advantage of the new development is that the damping can be adjusted to suit different load conditions of the forklift truck with only one piston accumulator.
