What are hydraulic accumulators and why they matter?
Hydraulic accumulators store hydraulic energy and release it when your system needs instant power. They absorb shocks, damp pulsations and act as emergency fluid reserves which translates into fewer shutdowns, lower maintenance costs and longer equipment life.
Designed for heavy-duty hydraulic systems, our accumulators help cut downtime, protect critical components, and ensure consistent system performance.

Accumulators are vital parts of hydraulic systems that store energy by holding liquid under pressure. They typically use compressed gases (like nitrogen), separated from hydraulic fluid by a bladder, piston, or diaphragm. When system pressure rises, fluid enters the accumulator, compressing the gas. This stored energy is released when pressure drops, delivering immediate power and stability.
- Bladder Accumulators: Ideal for applications requiring high flow and fast response times.
- Piston Accumulators: Perfect for high-pressure systems needing large fluid volumes.
- Diaphragm Accumulators: Suitable for smaller volume applications with moderate pressures.
- Energy storage for peak demand and reduced pump size
- Shock and pulsation dampening for smoother operation
- Emergency backup power during system failure
- Improved efficiency and faster response times
- Leakage and thermal expansion compensation
- Enhanced system stability and performance
