Bladder Accumulators

Typical Capacity Ranging from 10 Cubic Inches to over 40 Gallons. Positive Sealing Between the Gas and Oil Chambers.

Bladder accumulators regulate the performance of a hydraulic system by providing an additional volume of system fluid, or by controlling the shocks and oil surges of a system.

A bladder accumulator contains an elastic barrier between the oil and gas. The bladder is fitted to the accumulator by means of a vulcanized gas-valve element, that can be installed or removed through the shell opening at the poppet valve. The poppet valve closes the inlet when the bladder is fully expanded, preventing the bladder from being pressed into the opening.

The advantage to the bladder accumulator is its positive sealing between the gas and oil chambers. Providing a quick pressure response for pressure regulation, as wells as applications that involve pump pulsations and shock dampening.

Selection criteria should be based on application. The variety of accumulator uses and the performance variations of each design make a single selection and sizing procedure impractical.
