Products / Parker / Cylinders and Actuators / Hydracushions – HCF Series
Parker Hydracushions are a cost efficient type of bladder accumulator ideally suited for the Mobile industry (172 & 210 bar/ 0.5 to 4 Litres).
Parker HCF series Hydracushions are non-repairable bladder
accumulators that have been specially designed for high volume, low
cost applications where it is more economical to replace a unit than
to refurbish it after a long service life.
The HCF series incorporates bladder technology within a robust
welded shell design. Engineered and manufactured to the highest
standards this product offers reliable and optimum performance for
your hydraulic system. A complete range of accumulator accessories
is available for the HCF Hydracushion series
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.
