Accumulators - Eaton Hydraulics - #3

The Eaton Advantage

Eaton understands the need to improve machine performance, efficiency and reliability with cost effective hydraulic systems. Eaton accumulators help to achieve these goals while contributing to lower energy costs, reduced noise levels and a reduction in hydraulic system leakage and maintenance costs.

Manufacturing is conducted in a plant which is approved and monitored by various national and state agencies. For exam­ple, the plant is authorized to use the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) "U" Code to certify that the accumulator meets all requirements of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, Section VIII, Division 1. Other codes are also available upon request on a special order basis.

Eaton offers bladder, piston and diaphragm type accumulators in a wide range of sizes, bladder materials, port configurations and pressure ratings to provide optimum design flexibility. Eaton also offers a complete line of accessories needed for proper installation and maintenance including safety shut-off blocks, clamps, repair kits, and charging and gauging units. There is also the assurance that the materials used in construction and manufacturing are controlled to exacting specifications and backed by Eaton's no-nonsense warranty. The warranty can be found at http://hydraulic.eaton.com/products. Accumulators can be purchased certified for China, Japan, India, and most other countries on a special order basis.

Accumulator assisted hydraulics can reduce the size of the pump and elec­tric motor which results in a smaller amount of oil used, a smaller reservoir and reduced cooling capacity

Cost savings up to 33% are achievable in high per­formance industrial machinery using accumula­tors.

The ability to reduce sys­tem shocks will prolong component life, reduce leakage from pipe joints and minimize hydraulic system maintenance costs.

Low inertia accumulators can provide instantaneous response time to meet peak flow requirements.

They can also help to achieve constant pressure in systems using variable displacement pumps for improved productivity and quality.

Reduced pump and motor size coupled with system shock absorption lowers overall machine sound lev­els and results in higher operator productivity.

A wide range of accumula­tor types and sizes, includ­ing accessary items, pro­vides a versatile and easy to apply design approach. All accumulators meet a 4:1 safety requirement.

In addition to the standard products described in this catalog, Eaton has the capa­bility to provide special accu­mulator shells, bladders and fluid ports to meet specific customer specifications. Special coatings can also be provided to resist corrosive fluids or environments. Please contact your local dis­tributor or Eaton representa­tive to discuss your require­ments.
