373-6964: Accumulator Group-hydraulic

Description: An Accumulator is a pressure storage reservoir that allows a hyrdraulic system to manage extreme equipment demands. Attributes: • SAE #8 STOR Connection for 0.5 IN (12.7 MM) tubing • Cat accumulators store pressure, allowing the hydraulic system to use less powerful pumps to respond to temporary quick demands for pressure. WARNING: Consult your dealer for the proper procedures to relieve accumulator system pressure prior to servicing the accumulator. Failure to do so may result in injury or death. Application: Cat accumulators may be used in a variety of applications including hydraulic systems, allowing the system to manage pressure spikes, an example of which might be a heavy load. They might also be used in brake and suspension systems.
