What is HYDAC accumulator technology?

HYDAC Accumulator Technology can reflect on over 45 years' experience in research & development, design and production of Hydac accumulators. Bladder, piston, diaphragm and metal bellows accumulators from HYDAC together form an unbeatable range and as components or units, support hydraulic systems in almost all sectors.

What is a spring-loaded hydraulic accumulator?

Spring-loaded hydraulic accumulators are small, lightweight devices that are suitable for mobile applications with low volumes and pressures below 500 psi. Hydraulic accumulators use a bellows as a spring cushion. Raised mass or weight-loaded devices often use concrete discs loaded onto an oversized piston.

What does a pressure accumulator do?

Pressure accumulators are used as pressure compensation vessels and balance temperature-related changes in volume and pressure peaks in hydraulic systems. Acting as a buffer accumulator, they also absorb the energy caused by pressure changes and release it later when necessary.

When might a hydraulic system need an accumulator?

An accumulator might be able to help you out if your particular hydraulic system is noisy or has vibrations, making it hard to read gauges and sensors, or if you need to maintain pressure while the pump is off. Not all hydraulic systems will require an accumulator.

How does a hydraulic accumulator work?

The gas side of the hydraulic accumulator is pressurised with gas at the required pressure before the system starts operation. If the fluid side of the system become subject to increasing pressure, the pressures in the two sides are equalised by the movement of the separating component and compression of the gas.

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.
