Bladder Accumulators: High-Performance Energy Storage for Hydraulic Systems

Bladder accumulators are one of the most widely used types of hydraulic accumulators across industries due to their compact design, fast response time, and reliability. At Techknow Engineering Enterprise, we specialize in offering high-quality bladder accumulators that ensure smooth and efficient performance of hydraulic machinery and systems.

What is a Bladder Accumulator?

A bladder accumulator consists of a pressure vessel divided by a flexible bladder filled with nitrogen gas. The hydraulic fluid is stored on one side of the bladder, while the gas pre-charge fills the other. As the system pressure rises, fluid enters the vessel, compressing the gas and storing energy. When pressure drops or demand increases, the gas expands, pushing the fluid back into the system.

Key Features of Bladder Accumulators

  • Fast Response: Reacts quickly to pressure changes, ideal for pulsation damping

  • Compact & Lightweight: Space-efficient design compared to other types

  • Wide Pressure Range: Suitable for high-pressure systems

  • Maintenance-Friendly: Easy to inspect and replace bladder components

  • Versatile Applications: Available in a variety of volumes and pressure ratings

Functions & Benefits

  1. Energy Storage
    Stores hydraulic energy and delivers it when needed—especially during peak loads.

  2. Shock Absorption
    Damps pressure surges and hydraulic hammer, protecting components and pipes.

  3. Pulsation Damping
    Stabilizes pressure fluctuations caused by piston or gear pumps.

  4. Leakage Compensation
    Maintains pressure in case of minor internal leakage over time.

  5. Emergency Operation
    Delivers stored fluid during pump failure or power loss for critical functions.

Common Applications

  • Industrial hydraulic presses

  • Construction machinery

  • Material handling systems

  • Steel and aluminum rolling mills

  • Injection molding and die-casting machines
