The hydraulic system is well-accepted in the machining world. Hydraulic systems offer strength and precision in automotive, construction, manufacturing, marine, material handling, and other industries.
The hydraulic tank, also known as the reservoir, is a vital component of the hydraulic system. It is responsible for storing the hydraulic fluid that the system relies on for effective operation. Therefore, we can safely conclude that the hydraulic tank is the system's powerhouse.
VEVOR manufactures various high-quality hydraulic machines and equipment. It is no wonder that VEVOR has high-quality hydraulic tanks in the market.
Understanding versatility and variability in needs, VEVOR and other hydraulic cylinder makers design and manufacture hydraulic tanks with different features to cater to variable needs.
You can choose the hydraulic tank based on your system's size and requirements, functions, operating conditions, and fluid volume. Here are some you can choose from:
These are the most basic hydraulic tanks, frequently fitted directly to the hydraulic system. They are made of a sealed container with openings for fluid entry, discharge, and venting. Traditional reservoir tanks are available in various types and sizes, and their design may include barriers to reduce fluid sloshing.
Pressure accumulators store hydraulic fluid under pressure. They have a gas chamber separated from the hydraulic fluid by a bladder or piston. When hydraulic pressure is applied, the gas compresses and stores energy. Pressure accumulators are commonly employed in applications that require rapid response, shock absorption, or emergency power.
Similarly, Diaphragm accumulators use a flexible accumulator that is compact and suitable for various pressure requirements to separate fluid and gas.
These tanks are classified based on the manufacturing materials. Steel is durable and corrosion-resistant, making it a good choice for heavy-duty applications.
Similarly, aluminum is corrosion-resistant but lightweight, making it suitable for portable applications. It also dispels heat better than the others.
Plastic tanks, made of high-density polyethylene (HDPE), are lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and affordable. They are a good choice for smaller hydraulic systems.
You can find a hydraulic tank anywhere you can find a hydraulic system everywhere! They play a vital role in maintaining the functionality and efficiency of hydraulic systems by storing hydraulic fluid and assisting in regulating pressure.
You can find hydraulic systems in various construction and manufacturing machinery. These systems use fluid dynamics to achieve the weight for demanding tasks like lifting and moving. These industries also rely on hydraulic system’s precise control and efficient operation.
The aerospace and automotive industry uses hydraulic systems for critical and heavy-duty functions. Hydraulic systems in aerospace can be seen in landing gear retraction, flap control, and brake systems. Similarly, the automotive industry uses hydraulic systems for power steering, braking, and transmission control.
The mining industry uses heavy-duty equipment, like excavators and haul trucks. These equipment use the hydraulic system to generate the power and control they need to function correctly. Similarly, equipment like forklifts in material handling relies heavily on hydraulic systems, which use hydraulic tanks.
Improper handling of a hydraulic tank can have dire consequences. Whether through wrong usage or accidentally, a hydraulic tank can develop issues. These issues may start small but usually lead to more significant problems. Therefore, knowing the issues and how you can mitigate them can help you so much.
Hydraulic systems operate at high pressures, and a leak in the hydraulic tank or associated components can be highly hazardous. Pressurized fluid leaks not only cause hydraulic power loss but can also pose environmental risks, damage to equipment, and potential worker injuries.
Inspect and maintain your hydraulic system regularly to detect and manage fluid leaks. Also, implement leak detection systems and use the appropriate fluid for your system.
Hydraulic system components, such as valves, seals, and hoses, are sensitive to wear and strain. Failures in these components can cause rapid pressure decreases, resulting in losing control over the machinery and perhaps causing accidents or damage to neighboring equipment. Use high-quality hydraulic system components for reliability.
Hydraulic systems can experience swift decompression, discharging stored energy through pressure and heat. This explosive decompression can be hazardous, causing equipment damage, fluid bursts, and, in severe circumstances, endangering personnel in the area. Install pressure relief valves or devices within the hydraulic system to avoid over-pressurization.

Depending on the industry and application, hydraulic system design and safety may be subject to special rules or standards. Adherence to these principles is critical for ensuring compliance and safe hydraulic systems operation.
The frequency of inspecting your hydraulic tanks depends on several factors, including the system usage, operating conditions, and the manufacturer's recommendations. However, the least is to check it annually as a regular inspection can help you promptly notice and address issues that arise.
Pressure-release valves dispel excess pressure to prevent over-pressurization in hydraulic systems. They are safety devices that help to avoid damage to critical components and maintain system integrity while protecting them against catastrophic failures.
