Features of Piston Accumulators
Piston accumulators are a type of hydraulic accumulator that uses a piston to store hydraulic energy. These devices are designed to store pressure energy in a hydraulic circuit and can be used to provide a source of pressure energy for various applications, such as lifting heavy loads or operating a hydraulic motor.
Benefits
The main benefits of piston hydraulic accumulators are as follows:
- Much more compact than other types of hydraulic accumulators. This is especially beneficial in applications with limited space.
- Piston hydraulic accumulators can be used in applications that require high pressures.
- They do not require a safety valve.
- Higher efficiency than cylinder-type accumulators since the oil volume is smaller.
- More compact and have greater energy storage capacity.
- Piston hydraulic accumulators are easier to maintain and repair.
- Greater resistance to corrosion.
Lifespan of a Piston Accumulator
The lifespan of a piston hydraulic accumulator depends on various factors such as material quality, manufacturing precision, fluid quantity, fluid temperature, and fluid pressure. The typical lifespan is approximately 10 years.
