APPLICATIONS
COMMON APPLICATIONS
At SFP Hydraulics, our products are engineered to serve a broad spectrum of industries through a variety of applications that enhance system performance and reliability. Our hydraulic solutions are designed to manage energy storage, stabilize pressures, and supplement flow rates within complex systems. From preventing pump cavitation to ensuring continuous operation during power failures, our technology adapts to meet critical operational needs. Each application is built to offer specific benefits that uphold our commitment to quality, efficiency, and innovation. Explore our applications to see how SFP Hydraulics can optimize and protect your accumulators.
ENERGY STORAGE
This application stores hydraulic energy when system demand is low and releases it when needed, improving the overall efficiency and reliability of hydraulic systems by balancing load and supply.
PULSATION DAMPENING
Essential for reducing pulsations in fluid motion, this application ensures smoother operation and prolongs the life of hydraulic components by decreasing mechanical stress and vibration.
SUPPLEMENTING PUMP FLOW
Acts as a supplementary source of hydraulic fluid during peak demands to maintain consistent flow rates and pressure, preventing system drops and ensuring continuous operation.
MAINTAINING PRESSURE
Helps maintain a constant pressure within the hydraulic system, crucial for the consistent performance and reliability of hydraulic operations, particularly in systems with fluctuating loads.
FLUID DISPENSING
Enables precise control over the dispensing of fluids, crucial for applications requiring exact volumes and flow rates, thus ensuring accuracy and efficiency in operations like dosing and lubrication.
FLUID SEPARATION
Used to effectively separate different fluids or phases within a hydraulic system, this application is key in processes where fluid integrity is crucial, such as in oil and water separation.
PREVENTION OF PUMP CAVITATION
Prevents cavitation in hydraulic pumps by managing the pressure and fluid dynamics, thus protecting the pump from potential damage and failure due to air bubble implosion.
LEAKAGE COMPENSATION
Automatically compensates for fluid leakage within the system, maintaining operational efficiency and preventing system failure, which is vital for maintaining uninterrupted system operation.
EMERGENCY POWER SUPPLY
Provides an immediate power source in case of electrical failure. Ensures that critical hydraulic operations can continue without interruption, thus enhancing system safety and reliability.
HYDRAULIC SHOCK ABSORPTION
Reduces the impact of hydraulic shocks on system components, which helps minimize wear and tear, extending the life of hydraulic systems, and maintaining performance stability.

From our customers
I have been using SFP Hydraulics for my bladder accumulator needs for the last 7-8 years. In that time I have reached out to them on a number of items for which I have needed technical expertise for unique applications or commercial information, and without fail they have always come through and been able to get me on the right track. I rely on them for all of my bladder accumulator needs, and would recommend them highly to anyone.
Sean P. Carroll- Hydraulic Division Manager
I have been dealing with SFP since their formation in 2014. However, our relationship started well before that when the Core Group was with Oil Air. SFP’s products as well as their Product and Customer Service is always top notch. In the 10 years that I’ve been using SFP Products on a daily basis, SFP and their product lines have been a steadfast, reliable and resilient force in the Energy Sector. As I work in the Canadian Oilfield where temperatures range from +35 C (95 F) and above, to -40 C (-40 F) and below, resiliency is crucial. SFP is always up to the challenge.

SFP Hydraulics is the First Choice suppler for Accumulators and Safety Valves for Hydra-Fab Fluid Power. We have had very good success with using their accumulators since 2017. They have great customer service for sales and engineering, and their pricing is very competitive. Their delivery is also very good.
Derek Brazeau - Senior Hydraulics Designer
SFP Hydraulics has been a very reliable and insightful partner for Quantum over the years, especially when unique and stringent accumulator requirements were needed. Their products' quality has proven to be solid, well-engineered and dependable. They are always quick to respond with questions or concerns and very professional to work with. We have tried other accumulator manufacturers over the years, but SFP Hydraulics are at the top of the class.
