that save peak hydraulic horsepower energy levels and reduce capital
costs for pumping systems, whilst increasing control precision.
For use in mining hydraulic systems and in machine
tool work holding applications it is a necessity to maintain pressure
for relatively short periods in systems that are controlled by spool
valves that experience low levels of leakage. Small PipeGuards achieve
this requirement. Suspension or counterbalancing has required large
and heavy components; when converted to hydraulic linear actuators
or cylinders attached to hydraulic and hydro pneumatic accumulators
there is always a weight and cost saving. Bladder type accumulators
are not recommended for emergency standby power applications because
when the fails it is not progressive and determinate, it is sudden
and total.
