Senior Aerospace HIPRES® high pressure metal bellows maintenance free accumulators as well as our low pressure metal bellows accumulators are ideal for energy storage or pulsation damping applications for hydraulic, fuel, cooling or other fluid system applications. These units are suitable for use on commercial and military aircraft, weapons systems, combat vehicles as well as many other platforms.
Principal Advantages
Reliability and maintainability
Completely maintenance and service free
Absolute leak tightness
Never requires recharging
Elimination of unscheduled repair/replacement costs
Lower total cycle life costs
Design cost savings
Charging lines, valves, gauges and access panels can be eliminated
Locate anywhere on aircraft/vehicle – does not need to be accessible
Performance
Impervious to temperature extremes
Zero friction – repeatable performance with no wearing parts
Long predictable life under operating conditions
Indefinite storage life
Contaminant free storage and operation
Compatible with normal, exotic or corrosive hydraulic fluids
Qualifications
Decades of service on military and commercial platforms
HIPRES® is qualified to ARP 4378 and exceeds qualification requirements of MIL-A-8897
Large range of sizes – 3 in3 to 1000 in3 and larger
Construction Features
All welded construction
Elimination of elastomeric seals
Fabricated from Stainless Steel, High Nickel or Titanium alloys as influenced by specific operating parameters
Kevlar or Carbon fiber wrapped to meet fragmentation requirements
