IAM accumulator manifold replaces diaphragm accumulators in pilot circuit applications. A piston-type accumulator is integrated directly into an aluminum manifold, making the manifold itself an accumulator while saving space and reducing gas permeation. It is rated for operating pressures to 1000 psi and displacements to 20 in.3 In case of engine failure, pressurized fluid energy is discharged into the hydraulic system to pilot the directional control valve.
