What Is an Accumulator? | An Illustrated Guide to Its Structure, Function, and Inspection Methods

Hello, everyone.

This is Enta.

This is about the accumulator I mentioned the other day.

First of all, you might be wondering, “What exactly is an accumulator?” But,

To put it simply, drilling machines, etc.Device for Suppressing Hydraulic PulsationsThat's it.

Wikipedia states the following, as shown above.

With our drilling machines, for example, the hydraulic hoses may vibrate quite a bit.

You'll probably notice this when you hold it in your hand—it vibrates so much it actually hurts your hand.

If this is the case, either the nitrogen gas has already leaked out of the accumulator, or the rubber inside the accumulator has ruptured.

If the rubber in the photo breaks, nitrogen gas will leak and the accumulator will stop working.

We'll replace the tire with a new one and refill it with nitrogen.

Generally speaking, drilling machines are equipped with about 2 to 4 accumulators, both low-pressure and high-pressure.

 

When hydraulic hoses vibrate, they rub against each other, causing them to burst.

If the hydraulic hose starts to vibrate, you should replace or repair the accumulator as soon as possible.

 

It's just a small thing, but I think it's good to keep in mind.

 

See you later.

We need to make sure we can repair our own machinery ourselves, because the number of repair shops is dropping sharply.
