Abstract:
An adaptor and an assembly including a cylinder and the adaptor are provided. The adaptor is used to mount the cylinder to a fluid channel. The adaptor is formed of a unitary wall including a first portion adapted to mount to the fluid channel, a second portion adapted to be engaged with a tool extending from the first portion, and a third portion extending from the second portion and seated within an inlet passageway of the cylinder. The third portion includes locking features for locking the adaptor to the cylinder, and a sealing feature for sealing the adaptor to the cylinder. The sealing feature is distal to the second portion such that when a torque is applied to the adaptor, the sealing feature does not cause the adaptor to shear. The cylinder and fluid channel may be capable of being swiveled relative to each other around the adaptor, such swiveling may be up to 360 degrees and may be 360 degrees.
Abstract:
An apparatus for determining the position of a movable separation element which is arranged within an accumulator as a separator between a gas space and a fluid space, wherein the determination apparatus comprises at least one pressure sensor for the detection of pressure data, at least one ultrasonic sensor for the detection of ultrasonic data and at least one calculation unit for the evaluation of the data with the aid of which determination apparatus the position of the separation element can be determined.
Abstract:
An accumulator (100) includes: a housing (110) having an injection opening (112b) into which pressure gas is injected. A gas plug (150) seals the pressure gas in the housing (110). The housing (110) includes: a concave portion to which the gas plug (150) is fitted, and to which the gas plug (150) is welded with the welding portion (151) being melted on its bottom surface (110a). An inclined surface (110c) that extends from an edge portion of the concave portion toward an outside of the housing (110) such that a distance from a center of the injection opening (112b) increases, and the gas plug (150) includes a flange (152) which makes contact with the inclined surface (110c).
Abstract:
An example accumulator reservoir includes a housing. The housing contains a system fluid chamber, a working fluid chamber, and a residual chamber. Vent paths are configured to vent fluid from the residual chamber. Each of the vent paths extends nonlinearly between a first opening and a second opening.
Abstract:
A fluid system comprises a pressure vessel with a baffle oriented at a skew angle. The baffle divides the vessel into first and second volumes. A first port is provided to introduce a pressurizing fluid into the first volume, and a second port is provided to circulate a working fluid within the second volume. A purge aperture is provided to purge the pressurizing fluid from the second volume across the baffle into the first volume, and a flow aperture is provided to transfer the working fluid through the baffle between the first and second volumes.

Abstract:
An apparatus for determining the weight of a payload in a bucket of a machine where the bucket is attached to a chassis of the machine by a linkage. The apparatus comprises an energy storage device for storing potential energy of the bucket, payload, and linkage when the bucket is moved from a first suspended position to a second suspended position. A mechanism provides physical data corresponding to a physical change in the energy storage device caused by storage of the potential energy and a processor calculates the weight of the payload using the physical data.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a hydraulic fluid accumulator (30) having a high-pressure chamber (32) and a low-pressure chamber (33), wherein the high-pressure chamber (32) provided with an equalizing volume (36) is disposed in the low-pressure chamber (33). Provided at the hydraulic fluid accumulator (30) is an external connection (34) for the equalizing volume (36), by means of which connection the equalizing volume (36) can be filled with a gas having a predefinable pressure.
Abstract:
An accumulator (ACC) in which a container main body (1) and a closure member (5) are screw-joined together. A reverse-buttress internal thread or an internal thread having an included angle of 90 degrees is used as an internal thread of the screw-joined portion. The reverse-buttress internal thread is formed in such a way that the inclination angle (β) of a clearance flank of the buttress internal thread is the inclination angle (β) of a reverse pressure flank (20A) receiving a load, the inclination angle (θ) of a pressure flank is the inclination angle (θ) of a reverse clearance flank (2B). The internal thread having an included angle of 90 degrees is formed in such a way that inclination angles (α),(γ) of both flanks are equal and the included angle (δ) is about 90 degrees.
Abstract:
A metallic bellows, composed of precipitation hardening stainless steel, includes ridge portions and valley portions formed alternately and continuously, an average grain size of 10 to 15 μm, and compressive residual stress of not less than 500 MPa provided to at least surfaces of the ridge portions and the valleys by surface working.
