Parker BA05B3T01P2 Bladder Accumulator 5 Gallon

Product Description

The PARKER BA05B3T01P2 is a bladder-type hydraulic accumulator with a 5-gallon (1,095 cubic inch) fluid capacity. Bladder accumulators store hydraulic energy by compressing a gas-charged bladder against incoming fluid, then release that stored energy to maintain system pressure, absorb shock, and dampen pressure spikes. The BA05B3T01P2 measures 34.1 inches in height and weighs 120 pounds. It is designed for use in industrial and mobile hydraulic circuits where energy storage, surge dampening, or emergency power is required. Installation is performed by qualified hydraulic system technicians or fluid power specialists.

This accumulator is suited for hydraulic power units, presses, injection molding machines, and similar industrial fluid power systems that require reliable energy storage or pulsation control. The SAE 24 port thread size makes it compatible with standard SAE hydraulic fittings commonly found in industrial plumbing configurations. It is typically installed in-line with a hydraulic circuit and pre-charged with dry nitrogen gas to the system-specified pre-charge pressure before operation.

Key Features

• 5-gallon (1,095 cubic inch) fluid capacity for substantial hydraulic energy storage
• Bladder-type design separates gas charge from hydraulic fluid, minimizing contamination risk
• 34.1-inch overall height accommodates standard industrial mounting configurations
• SAE 24 port thread size for compatibility with common industrial SAE hydraulic fittings
• 120-pound construction reflects robust, heavy-duty build for industrial service

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style bladder accumulator for industrial hydraulic fluid power systems utilizing SAE 24 port connections. Consult system design specifications to confirm pre-charge pressure and flow requirements before installation.

Installation Notes

Bladder accumulators must be installed by a qualified fluid power technician familiar with hydraulic system safety procedures. Always depressurize and isolate the hydraulic circuit completely before connecting or disconnecting the accumulator. Pre-charge the bladder with dry nitrogen only — never use oxygen or air, as this creates a fire and explosion hazard. Verify that mounting supports are rated for the combined weight of the unit and fluid load, and follow all applicable fluid power safety standards during installation and maintenance.
