Abstract: A piston-type accumulator includes an accumulator housing provided in the form of a cylinder tube (1). A separating piston (15) separates two working spaces (5) and (6) from one another in the housing and can be displaced in an axial direction within a piston stroke area (19) of the cylinder tube (1). The cylindrical tube is closed at one axial end by a closure part (7). The closure part is defined by deforming a deforming area (9) of the wall of the cylinder tube (1). The deforming area adjoining the piston stroke area (19) is provided in the form of part that exists as a single piece with the housing. A stop body (25), which limits the movement of the separating piston (15) before reaching the deforming area (9), is provided inside the cylinder tube (1) at the location where the piston stroke area (19) transitions into the deforming area (9).

Abstract: A hydraulic accumulator includes a piston (3) capable of moving in an accumulator housing (1) in its axial direction and separating a gas side (5) from a liquid side (7) of the accumulator housing (1). Guide elements (9, 17) designed to co-operate with the accumulator housing wall (1), as well as at least one sealing element (15), are arranged at the periphery of the piston. The sealing element is arranged offset in the axial direction relative to the guide elements (9, 17), and is located between the guide elements. In the piston (3), a pressure compensating channel (19) forms, at the piston periphery, a liquid flow path between the liquid side (7) and a space (2) located between the guide element (17) nearest to the liquid side (7) and the sealing element immediately next in the axial direction. A device (25) reducing the cross-section of the passage of the pressure compensating channel (19) is located in it.

Abstract: A device damps water hammers in hydraulic accumulators, in particular in piston accumulators. The device is embodied in the form of the accumulator component which operates as a throttle on a fluid flow and is inserted between internal elements (12) of the accumulator and a hydraulic network (14) to which the accumulator is connectable. The throttle is formed by at least one transfer area (24) having a predetermined cross-section in a valve element (16) which interrupts the fluid flow up to the transfer area (24) at one of the valve positions and releases it at its other position. The transfer area (24) has at least one free end with a funnel-shaped enlargement (26,28) oriented towards the inside of the accumulator (12) or towards the hydraulic network (14), thereby substantially improving damping such that noise emission is reduced to the greatest possible extent.

The end faces of the accumulator housing are sealed by means of one respective cover part (20). Previously known production methods are further improved due to the fact that the cover part (20) is fixed on one side (40) thereof via the free longitudinal edge (32) of the accumulator housing (10), which is displaced towards the cover part (20) in order to do so, such that a functionally and positionally secure connection of a cover part is ensured within the housing of a piston-type accumulator without using standard threaded connections.

Abstract: A hydropneumatic pressure accumulator has an outer tube forming the accumulator housing. A flexible separating element is formed by a section of a hose, extends in the longitudinal direction inside of the outer tube and is anchored on the tube to form a seal. On the outside and inside of the hose, receiving spaces separated from one another are formed within the tube. A support body is surrounded by the hose and has fluid passages. At least in sections, the support body cross sectional shape is not round. The hose is closed on its one end and is anchored only on its other open end together with an adjacent end of the support body along the outer tube. The size of the outside surface of the hose is only slightly smaller than the size of the inside surface of the outer tube facing it. The size of the outside surface of the support body is slightly smaller than that of the inside surface of the hose facing it.

Abstract: A compensating device suitable for use in railway car transformers has at least one compensation receptacle in fluid communication connection with the interior of the housing of a transformer and having a fluid volume. A separating element limits the fluid volume in the compensation receptacle. When a change occurs in the fluid volume in the compensation receptacle, the separating element is subject to a change in position. The separating element is designed in the form of a roll-over membrane. The circumferential edge of the membrane is connected to the side walls of the compensation receptacle at a distance form the bottom of the receptacle in a sealing manner. The connection is such that the roll-over membrane, in its rolled-up state, has a position in which it allows for the largest amount of fluid volume by substantially extending in one plane at a distance form the bottom.
