Abstract:
A hydrostatic drive system (1) with a hydrostatic pump (3) driven by a drive motor (2) and connected in a closed circuit with a hydrostatic motor (4). The hydrostatic motor (4) is connected with a consumer (5). The closed circuit is formed by a first hydraulic connection (6a) and a second hydraulic connection (6b). A pressure accumulator device (30) can be connected with the two hydraulic connections (6a, 6b) for the storage of energy and the output of energy. The pressure accumulator device (30) is a double piston accumulator (31) having a high-pressure-side pressure chamber (32) and a low-pressure-side pressure chamber (33). The high-pressure-side pressure chamber (32) can be connected with one of the two hydraulic connections (6a, 6b) of the closed circuit and simultaneously the low-pressure-side pressure chamber (33) can be connected with the respective other hydraulic connection (6b, 6a) of the closed circuit.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a hydropneumatic pressure accumulator, in particular a pulsation damper, comprising an accumulator housing (2) and a movable separating element (20), which separates a pressurized working gas-containing gas working space (24) from a fluid chamber (22) in the accumulator housing (2). The hydropneumatic pressure accumulator is characterized in that a gas storage chamber (12) is provided, which contains an additional volume of the pressurized working gas, said gas storage chamber (24) being connected via a connecting path (30) having a throttle point.

Abstract:
Disclosed herein is a three-stage hydraulic actuator. The three-stage hydraulic actuator includes a pressurizing chamber, a distribution chamber and an acceleration chamber. The pressurizing chamber has therein separated spaces respectively charged with compressed gas and compressed oil. The distribution chamber is provided to communicate with the pressurizing chamber and is charged with oil pressurized by the compressed oil charged into the pressurizing chamber. The acceleration chamber communicates with the distribution chamber through a distributing orifice. An acceleration piston is installed in the acceleration chamber and is moved forward when the pressurized oil is supplied from the distribution chamber to the acceleration chamber.
Abstract:
The invention is an accumulator system in which multiple elastomeric accumulators are attached in series or parallel in order to generate total differential pressure in excess of that generated in a non-series system. Also disclosed is a “stacked” accumulator system. The system stores energy when the accumulators deform from their original shape in response to the flow of a pressurized fluid. The stored energy is available for use when the fluid is released from the accumulators and the accumulators return to their original shape.
Abstract:
In one aspect of the present invention, a system for performing work has a hydraulic circuit adapted to store energy within a hose. The hose has an elastic inner layer pre-tensioned by a radial tensioning component disposed within the hose and at least one reinforcing layer of elastic thread disposed around and compressing the inner layer. A hydraulic fluid is in the circuit and in communication with the hose, the radial tensioning component and with a hydraulic actuator for doing the work. The circuit has a mechanism for pressurizing the hydraulic circuit in order to perform the work.
Abstract:
In an accumulator which is provided in a pipe of an equipment so as to temporarily accumulate a pressure within a piping flow passage or absorb a pulsation of a fluid pressure generated within the pipe by a pump or the like, in order to improve a durability against repeated bending and stretching motions of a bladder (3) under a low temperature environment not more than 0° C., and effectively prevent a cushion gas in a gas chamber from being reduced, the bladder (3) has a laminated structure, for example, constituted of a center elastic layer (321), a gas shielding layer (322) in an outer side thereof and an outer elastic layer (323) in a further outer side thereof, the center elastic layer (321), the gas shielding layer (322) and the outer elastic layer (323) are made of a polyamide resin, and the gas shielding layer (322) has a module of bending elasticity higher than that of the center elastic layer (321) and the outer elastic layer (323).
