Technology Type: | |||
Your choices are... | |||
Piston | Accumulator uses compressed gas as a spring cushion to store energy. A piston-type accumulator uses a piston to separate the compressed gas from the hydraulic fluid. This type of accumulator is known as "hydropneumatic." | ||
Bladder | Accumulator uses compressed gas as a spring cushion to store energy. A bladder-type accumulator uses a bladder to separate the compressed gas from the hydraulic fluid. This type of accumulator is known as "hydropneumatic." | ||
Diaphragm | Accumulator uses compressed gas as a spring cushion to store energy. A diaphragm-type accumulator uses a thin, flexible diaphragm to separate the compressed gas from the hydraulic fluid. This type of accumulator is known as "hydropneumatic." | ||
Spring | Accumulator is hydraulic only, and uses a spring to store energy. | ||
Bellows | Accumulator is hydraulic only, and uses a bellows as a spring cushion to store energy. | ||
Other | An accumulator that uses a technology type other than those listed above. | ||
Search Logic: | All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches. | ||
![]() | |||
Capacity: | The volumetric capacity of the accumulator. Accumulator capacities can vary greatly, from a few cubic inches to several hundred gallons. | ||
Search Logic: | User may specify either, both, or neither of the "At Least" and "No More Than" values. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria. | ||
![]() | |||
Operating Pressure: | The maximum working pressure the accumulator can accommodate. Maximum pressure depends greatly on the technology type used. Spring-loaded accumulators are usually limited to a maximum pressure of 500 psi, while piston, bladder and diaphragm accumulators can accommodate much higher pressures. | ||
Search Logic: | User may specify either, both, or neither of the "At Least" and "No More Than" values. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria. | ||
![]() | |||
Maximum Flow Rate: | The maximum flow rate the accumulator can support. Flow rates vary greatly depending on the technology type used. | ||
Search Logic: | User may specify either, both, or neither of the "At Least" and "No More Than" values. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria. | ||
![]() | |||
Nominal Bore Size: | The size of the bore, or opening of the accumulator. | ||
Search Logic: | User may specify either, both, or neither of the "At Least" and "No More Than" values. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria. | ||

Repairability Options: | Many bladder or diaphragm type accumulators are repairable, with removable components that can be replaced. Repairable accumulators are more expensive than their nonrepairable counterparts, but last much longer. | ||
Your choices are... | |||
Top Repairable | A top repairable accumulator can be repaired from the top of the component. | ||
Bottom Repairable | A bottom repairable accumulator can be repaired from the bottom of the component. | ||
Top or Bottom Repairable | A top or bottom repairable accumulator can be repaired from the top or bottom of the component. | ||
Search Logic: | Products with the selected attribute will be returned as matches. Leaving or selecting "No Preference" will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches. | ||
