Hydraulic accumulator
2 000 - 5 000 psi, 3.6 cu. in.
Vektek
Piston-type, inert gas precharged accumulators compensate for pallet pressure changes during machining
Available in two operating pressure ranges provide up to 3.6 cu. in. of pressurized fluid reserve
Small system accumulators have same functions as the larger ones, except for smaller total volume circuits
Hydraulic fluid compresses the precharged inert gas across the piston during circuit pressurization. The pressurized gas provides additional fluid to the circuit to reduce pressure changes in the event of small seeps, or thermal expansion or contraction while the pallet or tombstone is in the machine. The 2,000 - 5,000 psi operating pressure model has gas precharged to 1,500 psi. The 1,000 - 3,500 psi operating pressure model has gas precharged to 750 psi. Perform annual maintenance in accordance with the instructions provided with each accumulator. Contact Vektek for additional copies of the annual maintenance instructions or to arrange for factory performed annual maintenance.
