What is the Olaer VGU Charging Kit?
The Olaer VGU Charging Kit is a convenient, portable device designed for safely pre-charging hydraulic accumulators. Built to withstand the demanding requirements of industrial and marine environments, the kit features all necessary parts to track and service nitrogen gas pre-charge pressure effectively.
It’s particularly designed for application with Olaer accumulators but also broadly compatible with numerous other top brands because of its standardized fittings and adjustable gauge system.
Features of the Olaer VGU Charging Kit
Solid Build
Made with industrial materials, the kit provides ruggedness and reliability in rugged work environments.
Pressure Gauge Range Options
The kit contains a series of replaceable pressure gauges, usually between 0-25 bar and up to 0-400 bar (or higher), enabling people to measure accurately and set pressure levels by necessity.
Nitrogen Bottle Compatibility
The VGU kit comes with connectors to enable drawing nitrogen from commercial grade gas bottles securely, rendering it highly useful for shop and field applications.
Safety First Design
Integrated bleed valves and lockable hose fittings provide controlled pressure adjustment and prevent overcharging risks.
Portability
The whole assembly is contained in a tough, foam-lined case for convenient carrying and safe storage.
Applications
The Olaer VGU Charging Kit finds extensive application in industries like:
Industrial Hydraulics – For servicing accumulators in presses, injection molding machines, and production lines.
Marine & Offshore – Onboard equipment tends to make use of accumulators to drive steering or stabilizing equipment.
Energy & Utilities – Particularly wind turbines and hydropower plants, where power storage and emergency power backup systems depend on well-serviced accumulators.
Mining & Construction – Heavy equipment such as loaders and excavators need to operate with exact accumulator pressure to achieve optimal efficiency.
Why Pre-Charge Pressure Matters
Hydraulic accumulators rely on a nitrogen gas pre-charge to store and release energy efficiently. If this pressure drops below the recommended threshold, system performance suffers—leading to energy loss, equipment damage, or even catastrophic failure.
Using the Olaer VGU Charging Kit ensures:
- Longer Accumulator Life
- Energy Efficiency
- Improved Safety
- Reduced Downtime
