Accumulator
Accumulators or Hydro-accumulators were developed to store energy or for use as energy collectors. But today their task goes much further. Thus modern accumulators are also use, among other things, for resilience and pulsation damping.
In modern accumulators, the hydraulic fluid is separated from the gas by a diaphragm a rubberised bladder or a piston.
Oil hydraulic nowadays are inconceivable without these hydro-accumulators. However, modern-day accumulators do a lot more than simply store energy. They are an essential part of many applications. Their other Functions include: energy supply For peak requirements and emergency energy supplies leakage compensation, Suspension systems, pulse damping, and volume compensation All machines with hydraulic
drives - such as presses, agricultural and building machinery, or modern industrial robots - need various types of accumulators in different sizes and designs. Accumulators are also increasingly being used in the automotive industry. Originally, they ware only used for suspension and automatic level control. Today, the energy they store is increasingly being used to intensify braking and clutch power, to activate the clutch, switch gears and, most recently, to adjust the camshaft and control the chassis.
Integral Accumulator supplies pressure accumulators that have been adapted especially to meet the needs of the customer using diaphragms and seal combinations that have been designed, developed and manufacture by Integral Accumulator. Integral-Accumulator's accumulators are used in the active suspension system in cars produced by the world's leading carmakers. New pressure accumulators in electro-hydraulic brake System are based on a different construction principle to those of the diaphragm and piston accumulators described above. A metal bellows accumulator was developed specially to cope with the specific requirements of the electro-hydraulic brake system. The main benefits of this new accumulator are that it is absolutely impervious to gas and has a long service life. The innovative feature behind this accumulator principle is that, for the first time, a flexible metal bellows is used as the separating element.
Accumulators from Integral Accumulator be characterized by:
- Optimized design
- High performance
- Different oil- or gas-connections available
- Different Diaphragm- and Shell-material available
- high burst pressure and high durability of dynamic stress
- Multilayer-diaphragms for maintenance free applications
