Accumulators

With more years of experience than any other name, Parker Hannifin’s Global Accumulator Division is the industry leader in accumulator solutions for energy optimization. Parker supply the broadest hydropneumatic accumulator product line, including pistons, bladders and diaphragms. In fact, the well-known Greer bladder accumulator line is part of today’s Parker advantage.

Hydro-pneumatic accumulators are the most widely used type of accumulator in industrial and mobile hydraulic systems. They use compressed gas to apply force to hydraulic fluid.

Identical in their operating principle, Parker’s piston, bladder and diaphragm accumulators use different mechanisms to separate the gas from the fluid. It is this difference – and the resulting performance characteristics – which determines the appropriate style accumulator for different applications.

Adding an accumulator to a hydraulic system can:

• improve system efficiency
• absorb shock
• supplement pump delivery
• provide emergency power
• compensate for leakage
• maintain pressure
• dispense fluid
• compensate for slow component response
