Accumulators

Stored Energy (in the form of Hydro-Pneumatic) Under Pressure, When You Need It.

Accumulators are a hydraulic component where system liquid is stored and compressed using a mechanical device, compressed gas, or weight to maintain pressure. They regenerate stored energy for system efficiency and for considerable reduction of horsepower loss. In a system, accumulators are the fluid power that uses stored energy to produce limited flow to expand the pump output or to supply fluid to operate the systems sub-circuits when prime movers and pumps are not operating.

A simple hydraulic system consisting of a prime mover (usually an electric motor, diesel engine, or gas engine), pump, lines, control valves, actuators, and liquid hydraulic fluid cannot store energy. The prime mover must continually operate to keep the system energized.

GS Global Resources (GSGR) can provide the correct accumulator no matter what the application. We offer a wide range of products and technologies including bladder, diaphragm, piston, and gas bottle devices. Our engineering team will calculate the best style and fit for a cost-effective application solution. Our accumulators can be easily integrated with in any of our hydraulic power units to provide efficiency and reliability.
