What Is a Hydraulic Accumulator?

A hydraulic accumulator is a pressure storage reservoir in which hydraulic fluid is stored under pressure by an external force, typically a compressed gas. The primary purpose of an accumulator is to store energy, absorb shocks, maintain pressure, and improve the responsiveness and efficiency of hydraulic systems. They are widely used in a variety of industries, including agriculture, construction, manufacturing, oil and gas, and marine.

There are several types of hydraulic accumulators, but most used in industrial applications are bladder accumulators and diaphragm accumulators.

Bladder Accumulators

Bladder accumulators are among the most popular accumulator types due to their robust design and high level of performance. They feature a flexible bladder inside a high-strength shell. When hydraulic fluid is pumped into the shell, it compresses the gas inside the bladder, storing energy that can be released when needed to supplement flow, absorb shocks, or maintain pressure.

Our range of bladder accumulators at Pearson Hydraulics includes various sizes, pressure ratings, and connection types to meet different system requirements. These accumulators are well-suited to applications involving rapid cycling or systems requiring high discharge rates.

Key benefits of bladder accumulators include:

• Excellent energy storage and release capacity
• Reliable performance even in harsh environments
• Easy maintenance and replacement of bladders
• High flow rates and fast response times

If you're unsure which size or configuration you need, our technical team is here to help you find the right solution.

Typical Applications for Hydraulic Accumulators
Hydraulic accumulators play a critical role in many industrial systems. Common applications include:

• Energy storage: Store hydraulic energy to be released when demand exceeds pump capacity
• Shock absorption: Dampen pressure spikes and vibrations caused by sudden flow changes
• Leakage compensation: Maintain system pressure in the event of small internal leaks
• Emergency backup: Provide hydraulic power during pump or system failure
• Pulsation dampening: Smooth out fluctuations in flow and pressure in pump systems

From heavy-duty manufacturing lines to mobile agricultural equipment, our range of accumulators can help extend system life, improve safety, and optimise performance.

At Pearson Hydraulics, we supply a variety of diaphragm accumulators that offer excellent performance, durability, and resistance to contamination and wear. These accumulators are commonly used in agricultural machinery, automotive systems, and other compact hydraulic applications.

Advantages of diaphragm accumulators:

• Compact and space-saving design
• Quick response to pressure changes
• Cost-effective solution for lower-pressure systems
• Minimal maintenance required
