Accumulator Types
Spring Loaded
Gas Charged (Nitrogen)
Weight Loaded
Hydraulic Counter Loaded
Accumulator Types
Spring Loaded Types
Sealed Piston
Piston may be sealed with
an O-ring, quad ring, or
square ring and may even
be backed up with a Teflon
cushion washer depending
on pressure requirements of
system and spring strength
Accumulator Types
Spring Loaded Types
Sealed Piston
Compound Spring
This accumulator system is often used
for variable loads or independent
pressure volumes for light load
extensions in sequential operation

Hydraulic Counter Loaded
Notice: 2 different size pistons allowing for mechanical advantage boosting
that are balanced by 2 springs working against each other (learn the math!!)
