Steering System Accumulators

Parker Hannifin offers Steering System Accumulator. The piston accumulator provides exceptional levels of safety for the steering systems of wheel loaders and similar vehicles. The accumulator stores energy from the vehicle"s hydraulic system, providing reserve of energy, which enables the machine to be brought safely to a halt in the event of engine failure with its consequent loss of drive to the hydraulics. The new accumulator system ensures operator and vehicle safety and at the same time, speeds and simplifies installation by saving space, reducing pipe work, connections and assembly work, and simplifying the order process. The system is based on a standard Parker ACP series piston accumulator. It incorporates a solenoid valve and check valve into a specially extended cap with a side-mounted fluid port. Extensive field tests have demonstrated how energy stored in the accumulator 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. The company also manufacturers complete line of piston, bladder and diaphragm accumulators and accessories, covering the full spectrum of mobile and industrial applications.
