Hydraulic Piston

Accumulators
High Pressure
1. DESCRIPTION
1.1. FUNCTION
Fluids are practically
incompressible and cannot
therefore store pressure energy.
The compressibility of a gas is
utilised in hydro-pneumatic
accumulators for storing fluids.
HYDAC piston accumulators are
based on this principle, using
nitrogen as the compressible
medium.
The piston accumulator consists of
a fluid section and a gas section
with the piston acting as a gas-
proof screen. The gas section is
pre-charged with nitrogen.
The fluid section is connected to the
hydraulic circuit so that the piston
accumulator draws in fluid when
pressure increases and the gas is
compressed. When the pressure
drops, the compressed gas
expands and forces the stored fluid
back into the circuit.
HYDAC piston accumulators
can be used in a wide variety of
applications and are also available
in different pressure grades
(see following brochures:
Hydraulic Piston Accumulators
no. E 3.301../.. and Accumulators
no. DEF 3.000../..).
The available brochure shows the
high pressure versions of the piston
accumulator (690/800/1000 bar)
with its main dimensions, materials
as well as gas and fluid
connections.

 1.2. CONSTRUCTION 2.3. MODEL CODE
The high pressure piston (also order example)
accumulator consist of:
SK800 - 20 / 2312 U - 800 ADE - VB - 18 P - 1
z a cylinder with very finely machined
internal surface.
Series
z end caps on the gas side and the
oil side, held in place by threads.
z a floating metal piston. Nominal volume in (l)
z a high pressure sealing system.
The piston floats on two guide rings Material and piston code
which prevent metal-to-metal Piston design type 2
contact between the piston and the
accumulator wall.
For use with certain aggressive or Piston material
corrosive fluids, the parts coming 2 = carbon steel
into contact with the fluid can also 3 = stainless steel
made entirely from
corrosionresistant material.
Suitable materials are also Material of cylinder and end caps
available for low temperature 1 = carbon steel
applications. 3 = stainless steel
1.3. SEALING SYSTEMS 6 = carbon steel (low temperature)
Precise information about operating
conditions is required in order to Material of seals incl. piston
select the most appropriate sealing
system. Important criteria for this 2 = NBR
selection are, for example: 5 = low temperature NBR
z design pressure 6 = FPM
z effective pressure differential
z switching frequency or cycles Certificate code
z temperature fluctuations U = PED 97/23/EC
z operating fluid
z cleanliness of fluid Permissible working pressure (bar)
(micron rating of filter)
z maintenance requirements Fluid connection
The high pressure piston is a Type of connection (see table 1)
modified piston type 2 especially
Standard or specification of the type of connection (see tables 2)
designed for high pressure
applications up to 1000 bar Size of connection (see tables 3)
(Filtration < 20µm absolute).
1.4. MOUNTING Gas side connection or gas valve
HYDAC piston accumulators Type of connection (see table 1)
operate in any position. Vertical Standard or specification of the type of connection (see table 2)
installation is preferable with the (no letter if type V connection)
