Shell: The shell of the bladder accumulator is manufactured from a homogenous, seamless tubing with one or both ends formed hemispherically by either spinning or hammering operation. Strict heat treatment and stress relieving is performed on all shells after the forging operation to ensure compliance with required mechanical properties.
Bladder: OilAir has developed a full range of bladders made from the most advanced elastomers capable of meeting exceptional stresses found in aeronautics and aerospace. The Buna bladders have a low temperature down to -45°F and a high temperature up to 180°F.
Fluid Port: The Fluid Port incorporates a poppet valve which prevents the extrusion of the bladder. Special care has been taken in the design of the fluid port assembly to prevent turbulent flow, pressure drop, and potential pre-closure of the poppet valve. A heavy duty spring prevents premature closure of the poppet valve.
WARNING: ACCUMULATORS CANNOT BE DISASSEMBLED UNDER PRESSURE
