Bladder accumulators are excellent for storing energy under pressure, absorbing hydraulic shocks, and dampening pump pulsation and flow fluctuations. They are a cost effective option with fast response time and are compatible with low lubricity fluids.
Parker's BA Series bladder type accumulator is a proven design which has served both the industrial and mobile hydraulic markets, providing energy management solutions for many hydraulic system applications. Offering a standard, globally certified bladder accumulator (ASME, PED(CE), CRN, and AS1210) is Parker’s approach at one accumulator design certified for most markets, geographies and applications. This new design meshes the very best of the Greer and Olaer Bladder Accumulator brands. As the global leader in motion control, Parker appreciates that our customers demand one product that is available and acceptable worldwide.
Parker hydro-pneumatic bladder accumulator products are made to the highest quality standard and because of our in-house bladder molding operations, we offer extremely competitive lead times. The heart of any bladder accumulator is the rubber bladder bag, and Parker bladders are engineered and manufactured in our own facility and subjected to our own high-quality inspection standards. Parker’s hydraulic bladder accumulators are ideal for shock absorption, auxiliary power, supplemental flow, noise dampening and much more.
