Hydraulic Reservoirs & Tanks

Hydraulic Reservoirs
Reservoirs store the hydraulic fluid used by the system and serve several key roles:

Allow fluid expansion and contraction

Enable entrained air to separate

Aid in cooling the fluid

Provide space for contaminants to settle

Reservoirs are passive hydraulic components, yet their design and sizing are critical. Poorly designed reservoirs can lead to cavitation, overheating, or fluid foaming.
