hyd accumulator

[kubotakid USA]

slightly different application than the straight hyd motor you aluded to earlier..

Sorry soundguy, I wasnt trying to elud u

If you incorporate an accumulator in your design, make sure it has some kind of fail safe unloading device so the circuit doesn't stay energized when the pump isn't running. People have been maimed and killed by failure to observe this rule. A solenoid valve or a simple bleed down device can be sufficient.

BG,
My thought/plan has been to put it between the TCV,.{travel control valve} and the foward imput of the drive motor.
So it would only effect the foward circut flow, And have nothing to do with reverse. My thought/understanding is that when, I put the TCV lever in nuteral there will be no pressure left in the system....Unless of course it was on a steep down hill grade, And the parking brake was not applied.
I have used combines, front end loaders, and skid steers with accumulators incorporated in the lift system and love the benifits,.. But I have never heard of one used in a drive motor application.
So I dont have much to go on.

Saftey is a priority,.and I welcome all other comments, and concerns.

He wanted to use the, what you interpreted as a "straight hydraulic motor" as an accumulator. A piston accumulator, just with a spring behind it instead of nitrogen pressure.

Do any of you ever see spring loaded hydraulic accumlators on real systems? I have not so far.

i've seen something similar used as a shock dampener
