What are hydraulic brakes and clutches?

September 26, 2012 By Paul Heney

Clutches-and-Brakes-1

A clutch is a device used to transmit power from a driving member (motor/engine) to a subsequent one. As opposed to a mechanical clutch, a hydraulic clutch uses a fluid coupling device to transmit rotational power at variable operating speeds and without problems of shock loading. The fluid coupling device contains a driving turbine or […]

What are hydraulic accumulators?

September 26, 2012 By Paul Heney

Accumulator

Accumulators are pressure vessels that store hydraulic energy and deliver that energy back to the system on demand. This is analogous to the way a car battery stores energy. In hydro-pneumatic accumulators, compressible gas (nitrogen) is used to keep stored fluid pressurized. Hydro-pneumatic accumulators are used extensively in the global fluid power industry. In process […]
