The work is based on the development of a concept for a hydraulic drive for a high-speed spiral door. The weight of the closing surface is to be balanced by an appropriately precharged hydraulic accumulator. A mathematical calculation model has been presented to properly design a hydraulic accumulator as a component to compensate the weight of the closing surface. The results of the mathematical model are used to determine the parameters for designing the system. Knowing which parameters and how they affect the design of the hydraulic accumulator as a subcomponent to compensate the weight of the closing surface is key to the optimal operation of doors driven by newly developed hydraulic system. As part of the measurements, the mathematical model is validated and the design of the hydraulic system is evaluated to ensure that the design requirements are met. Based on the results of the mathematical model and the measurements, guidelines are given for further development and improvement of the hydraulic drive of high-speed spiral doors.
