540-2485 Hydraulic Accumulator
Cat® Uncharged Hydraulic Accumulator, Capacity: 0.32 L
Description
Accumulators (for example, part number 540-2485) are used in mining and construction equipment. They store and release pressure as needed to stabilize machine-specific hydraulic systems, allowing a lower-power pump to handle temporary peak pressure demands. Brake accumulators allow braking even when the engine is not running, nitrogen-charged oil accumulators absorb and reduce road shock, and blade accumulators help maintain machine control and minimize damage when the blade strikes a fixed object.
Warning: Always consult MECHSC on how to properly release accumulator system pressure before servicing an accumulator. Improper handling may result in injury or death.
Features
- Uncharged hydraulic accumulator
- Capacity: 0.32 L (0.08 GAL)
- Maximum Working Pressure: 10300 kPa (1500 psi)
- Operating Temperature Range: -40°C to 100°C (-40°F to 212°F)
- Canada-Registered Accumulator
Applications
Cat accumulators are versatile. For example, they are used in hydraulic systems, enabling the system to manage pressure surges – a condition that can produce enormous loads. They can also be used in brake systems and suspension systems. Refer to your Operation and Maintenance Manual or contact MECHSC for more information.
