HYDAC

HYDAC International, founded in 1963 near Sulzbach/Saar in Germany, has grown from an accumulator specialist into a broad fluid technology group whose products touch nearly every hydraulic and lubrication system in industry. The company is the world's leading manufacturer of bladder and piston accumulators — the energy storage devices that make emergency valve actuation, surge damping and energy recovery possible in hydraulic systems — and pairs them with an extensive range of filtration technology (return-line, pressure and offline filters, filter elements, contamination sensors), heat exchangers, valves, cylinders, power packs, and a fast-growing electronics division offering condition monitoring, sensors and control devices. HYDAC's Fluid Care division supports oil analysis and cleanliness management, an increasingly formalized discipline in wind, mobile and industrial hydraulics. The group operates more than fifty subsidiaries with production in Germany, the USA, India, China and elsewhere, allowing local manufacture of even specialized accumulator variants. For engineers specifying fail-safe hydraulic actuation on valves and dampers, HYDAC accumulators and nitrogen charging equipment are the default choice, and its filtration products protect the pumps and valves that follow.
