Parker Hannifin’s A series of hydraulic piston accumulators are designed to improve the performance of mobile hydraulic systems. Parker claims that the new piston absorbs and reduces shock effects and maintains system pressure on hydraulic systems of up to 350 bar pressure. It says that shock absorption is desirable when loads are carried on lift trucks, tractor shovels loaders and earth moving equipment.
The A series of accumulators also maintains oil pressure to provide hydraulic power when the vehicle experiences problems, like a pump failure.
Parker Hannifin says that the new accumulators maintain high pressure for long periods, which can reduce pump wear and keep oil temperatures low.
