The importance of small hydraulic pressure accumulators with some examples of their use

16. November 2023

In the early days, before focusing on the production of precision rubber products, Hepako GmbH manufactured hydraulic accumulators and the accompanying rubber membranes indispensable for their function. At that time, Hans-Dieter Partosch, co-founder and managing director of Hepako GmbH for many years, published an article on the importance of small accumulators and examples of their application in the magazine Fluid - a German journal for hydraulics, pneumatics and component parts (edition Dec. 1979). Today's blog returns to this interesting and informative article, which has lost none of its relevance over the years. The original article is available as a download.
