Accumulators

Advantages of using a bladder accumulator.

Using an accumulator as an energy storage device effectively reduces the required flow rate capacity of the hydraulic pump, this results in a reduction of the installed power.
The energy stored in an accumulator is used to avoid the accidental interruption of the working of the power generator by guaranteeing continuity of the safety function for a specific time.
An accumulator which is kept constantly under pressure allows for instant and/or repetitive operations as required (braking, opening of doors etc).
An accumulator on account of the low inertia of its bladder can dampen the pulsations generated by the pump.
 

Different accumulator types

  • Bladder Accumulators
  • Transfer Barrier Accumulators
  • Stainless Steel Accumulators
  • Piston Accumulators
  • Hydra Cushions
  • Diaphragm Accumulators

Whatever type, size or brand of accumulator you have,
we can supply replacement units or seal kits for it.


Accumulator Test and Service

We always have a large stock of accumulator spares. We also offer a
free strip and quote service, where by customers can be assured that they won't incur any expense before they know the full extent of the cost.

Accumulators are pressure vessels and therefore carry strict guidelines as to their manufacture and repair. All of our service engineers carrying out service of accumulators must attend accredited courses to ensure that they are fully conversant with all legislation governing accumulators.
