Product overviewHydraulic accumulators store hydraulic fluid under pressure to balance supply and demand in hydraulic systems. They reduce pressure fluctuations, support energy efficiency and contribute to longer service life of hydraulic components. Corteco accumulators comply with applicable industry standards and certifications.
Functionality- Store hydraulic energy and release it on demand
- Absorb and hold fluid under pressure
- Reduce pressure fluctuations and act as shock absorbers
- Support transmission shifting and electro-hydraulic brake systems
- Provide backup pressure in case of pump failure
Applications- Chassis
- Suspension systems
- Steering systems
- Transmissions (including shift support)
- Electro-hydraulic brakes
- Agricultural machinery
Performance and safetyBy maintaining more consistent pressure, accumulators enable smoother and more efficient operation of hydraulic systems and reduce wear on components. They act as a safety element by damping pressure spikes and can supply temporary power to allow safe shutdown or continuation of critical operations during pump failure. Corteco accumulators are designed and tested to meet industry safety and reliability requirements.
