Across hydraulic and pneumatic systems, having consistent pressure levels is absolutely necessary for upholding the most efficient and reliable operations. One of the key components that ensures this stability is the accumulator, a device designed to store and release energy in the form of pressurized fluid. In this blog, we will explore the basics of accumulators in detail, covering their functionality, common designs, and the role they serve in maintaining system pressure across applications. Equipped with this knowledge, you will be able to best approach procurement with more informed purchasing decisions.
