Answer to Question #207626 in Mechanical Engineering for Bonolo

Question

Explain the nature of hydraulic accumulators and bottle jacks' application and biases.

Answer 1

Hydraulic accumulators are used in a broad range of sectors to store energy, maintain pressure, absorb vibrations, pulsations, and shocks, among other things. Accumulators can absorb, store, and release energy in the form of pressured fluid to enhance the efficiency of your hydraulic system.

Bottle jacks can raise up to 50 tons and may be used to lift a wide range of items. Typical applications include vehicle repair and building foundations. Larger, heavier-duty versions may be referred to as barrel jacks. This jack is best suited to short vertical lifts.
