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.
