Gas-charged accumulators are ubiquitous on modern hydraulic systems. They carry out numerous functions, which include energy storage and reserve, leakage and thermal compensation, shock absorption, and energy recovery.
While accumulators present a number of advantages in hydraulic system operation and can provide many years of trouble-free service, they are a maintenance item.
For example, the correct gas pre-charge pressure must be maintained for proper functioning and optimum service life. Also, periodic inspection, testing and certification can be required by law – accumulators are pressure vessels after all.
Accumulator Types:
The three types of gas-charged accumulators you’ll encounter on hydraulic systems are bladder, piston and diaphragm.
Control Hyraulics specialise in the repair of Hydraulic Accumulators. We also carry many Bladder Kits in stock to be able to offer a fast turnaround on all accumulator repairs for our valuable customers
CONTROL HYDRAULIC SERVICES
Every project is unique in scope, but process is systemically applied to each hydraulic project.
We seek to get involved early in the design phase so that we can manage the project more efficiently, provide effective building solutions, and identify challenges early on to mitigate design changes after construction commencement.
This involves detailed planning crucial to successful construction and on-time delivery, and allows the client and team a clear pathway to the bidding process, construction phase, and through to completion.
