Pre-charge Pressure Too High This can cause operational problems or damage to accumulators. With a piston accumulator, the piston will travel too close to the hydraulic end cap and causing the piston to bottom out, reducing output and eventually damaging the piston and piston seal. The piston can, often, be heard bottoming, warning of impending […]

Pre-charge Without a Gas Check Kit
Checking for pre-charge without a check kit can be a quick and easy process that does not require any tools. It is, often, simple to do and can immediately give a thumbs up or down to the integrity of the accumulator. It’s not as accurate as using a pre-charge pressure check/charge kit, but it normally […]
