Products / Parker / Cylinders and Actuators / High Pressure Bladder Accumulator (UK)
The Parker UK Series is ideally suited for the UK Industrial market and is fitted with a bonded seal fluid port and ¼” BSP gas connection as standard (more options available). Available in carbon steel (20 to 80 bar) and stainless steel (20 to 40 bar)
The UK bladder accumulator offers a reliable and efficient solution
for storing energy under pressure. Utilizing comprehensive tools and
resources including an applications database, CAD/CAM, finite
element analysis, reliability studies and simulation we have
optimized the design and performance of the accumulator. Parker
Olaer bladder accumulators are suitable for use in more than 35
countries (all hydraulic accumulators for Europe are CE marked) and
they can meet an extensive range of international and industry
approvals.
Rigorous product testing and continuous product development help to
ensure our hydraulic accumulators operate at optimum efficiency and
can perform in the most demanding environments. Parker accumulator
accessories such as Safety Blocks, Burst Discs and Permanent
Charging Sets, can aid the safe installation and operation of the
accumulators in any hydraulic system.
Parker Olaer have developed very sophisticated simulation software
to optimize sizing recommendations for hydraulic accumulators. You
can download the accumulator sizing software from the Product
Support tab.

Function:
Hydraulic accumulators are an essential component for the optimum
operation of a hydraulic circuit. The accumulator enables:
• Energy Storage: Saves energy without loss and redistributes when
required therefore reducing installed power.
• Pressure Compensation: Absorbs pressure spikes from pumps or other
components to control pressure and flow rates in the hydraulic
circuit.
• Volume Control: Absorbs fluid volume variations induced by
temperature changes in a closed hydraulic circuit and maintains a
rated pressure.
• Emergency Energy Storage: In case of failure of the main energy
source, these accumulators can provide sufficient energy to complete
an operation or to realize a full hydraulic cycle.
• Hydraulic Spring/Shock Absorber: A bladder accumulator can act as
a gas spring suppressing shocks and vibrations in hydraulic systems
of lifting vehicles (e.g. Forklift trucks) and maintains real
suspension of the load on a gas spring.
