AccumulatorsBladder accumulator technology is more responsive than piston style units as there is no requirement to overcome static friction. They are particularly suited to systems where high frequency pressure cycling occurs and provide excellent performance when subjected to high vibration, lateral and vertical G loading. Another benefit of the bladder accumulator is its ability to be mounted in any orientation
Bladder accumulators are of a cassette style assembly, therefore, customer housing designs can be accommodated. Accumulator shells can be manufactured in Aluminium, Titanium, steel, or other custom materials. Unlike piston style accumulators, bladder accumulators do not need to be parallel, allowing various shapes to be considered.
Our expertise in the design of the bladder allows us to offer custom bladders, or we can design and supply the complete unit. The accumulators are successfully used in applications with pressures typically between 30 - 160 bar, with storage volumes from 12 - 300cc.
Material selection is dependent on the application, which can vary from hydraulic, water, and fuel.
