Hydraulic Piston Accumulator

A hydraulic accumulator is a pressure vessel that performs many tasks in a hydraulic system. They are used to maintain pressure, store and recapture energy, reduce pressure peaks, power chassis suspensions, and dampen shock, vibration and pulsations.Piston accumulators store large amounts of fluid and benefit from high compression ratios and flow rates. Compared with hydraulic accumulators that use a different separating element (i.e. bladder or diaphragm), piston accumulators require a higher level of fluid cleanliness.
