What is a hydraulic accumulator?

Hydraulic accumulators or hydro accumulators can accumulate hydraulic fluids of a certain pressure and volume and discharge them back into the system as required. This allows valuable energy to be accumulated in the system and also provides relief for the hydraulic pump, making it smaller and less powerful.

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.

What is a hydropneumatic accumulator?

For the purpose of so-called hydraulic downsizing, hydropneumatic accumulators are an energy-efficient storage device in many safety applications (maintenance of function in the event of power failure), oil leakage compensation, pulsation damping and suction flow stabilization or energy recovery (recuperation).

Why should I install an accumulator to my hydraulic system?

Installing an accumulator to your hydraulic system can help to improve its performance and greatly reduce juddering when the system is in operation. LIJ is an expert provider of quality accumulators of varying types and for a multitude of intended applications. We offer a comprehensive service from initial design through to installation.

What are piston accumulators used for?

The primary applications for these accumulators are hydraulic applications with special media and large accumulator volumes. Because of the high-quality stainless steel housings and sealing systems used, piston accumulators are also used in seawater-resistant or seawater-protected applications.

How does a diaphragm accumulator work?

With the pressure increase, the diaphragm accumulator is filled and the gas is compressed. By a pressure drop, the gas volume expands and the stored pressure fluid is returned to the hydraulic circuit. Diaphragm accumulators are generally inexpensive and suitable for small installation spaces. In addition, they are lightweight and maintenance-free.
