363-5216: Hydraulic Accumulator

Description: Cat accumulator 363-5216 is used in mining and construction equipment. They store and release pressure as needed to stabilize machine-specific hydraulic systems, allowing the use of less powerful pumps to respond to temporary quick demands for pressure. Brake accumulators enable stopping even when the engine is not running, oil-with-nitrogen accumulators absorb and dampen road shocks, and blade accumulators help maintain machine control and minimize blade damage when a blade strikes a fixed object. Warning: Consult your dealer regarding the proper procedures for relieving accumulator system pressure prior to servicing the accumulator. Failure to do so may result in injury or death. Attributes: • Uncharged hydraulic accumulator • Capacity: 4.4 L (1.16 GAL) • Max Operating Pressure: 25,000 kPa (3,625 psi) • Seal Temperature Range: -43° C to 85° C (-45° F to 185° F) • Port Type: SAE -24 Port, 1-7/8-12 • Thread: 1/2-20 (3X) • Conforms to European Pressure Equipment Directive (PED) 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. Consult your owner's manual or contact your local Cat Dealer for more information.
