Hydrocare makes customer-specific piston accumulators. In hydraulic circuits, the accumulator allows:
Energy storage: saves energy without loss and redistributes when necessary, reducing installed power.
Pressure compensation: absorb pressure spikes from pumps or other components to control pressures and flows in a hydraulic circuit.
Volume control: absorbs variations in fluid volume caused by temperature changes in a closed hydraulic circuit and maintains a nominal pressure.
Maintains Fluid Flow: An accumulator can maintain fluid flow in the event of a pump failure and can also be used as a mobile fluid reserve under pressure.
Emergency Energy Storage: In the event of a main energy source failure, a battery can provide enough energy to complete an operation or complete a full hydraulic cycle.
Prevents the mixing of liquids: transfer of energy from one liquid to another without the risk of mixing.
Shock absorber: Suppresses shocks and vibrations in hydraulic systems of lifting vehicles (e.g. forklift trucks) and provides a real suspension of the load on a gas spring.
