Parker hannifin provides a complete line of piston, bladder and diaphragm accumulators and accessories, covering the full spectrum of mobile and industrial applications. The new piston accumulators provide exceptional levels of safety for the steering systems of wheel loaders and similar vehicles. These accumulators store energy from the vehicle`s hydraulic systems, providing a reserve of energy which enables the machines to be brought safely to a halt in the event of engine failure with its consequent loss to drive to the hydraulics. Operator and vehicle safety, and at the same time, speed and simplify installation by saving space, reducing pipe work, and simplify the order process are being ensured by the accumulators. . They incorporate a solenoid valve and check valve into a specially extended cap with side-mounted fluid port. Extensive field tests have demonstrated how energy stored in the accumulators enables a wheel loader to be steered, under control but without power, through a pre-determined series of manoeuvres and brought to a halt in a controlled manner. Hydro-pneumatic accumulator technology offers a range of proven benefits for manufacturers and operators of construction vehicles.
