A method for manufacturing a hydraulic accumulator bladder includes the following steps: bonding a rubber sheet to the gas-filled air bladder to form a bladder blank; placing the bladder blank in a vulcanization device for vulcanization to form an initial bladder product; and releasing the gas in the gas-filled air bladder of the initial bladder product, taking the air bladder out, and naturally cooling the initial bladder product to a room temperature to form a finished bladder product. The bladder manufactured by the manufacturing method is integrally formed by one-step vulcanization, and has the advantages of uniform wall thickness, smooth inner and outer surfaces, long fatigue lifetime, a simplified process, high quality and good stability.

An epichlorohydrin rubber composition that includes 100 parts by weight of an epichlorohydrin-ethylene oxide-allyl glycidyl ether terpolymer rubber, 0 to 60 parts by weight of carbon black, and 30 to 60 parts by weight of a flat tiller. The crosslinked epichlorohydrin rubber is prepared by crosslinking the composition with a crosslinking agent. Materials for accumulators contain the crosslinked rubber.

An accumulator piston, in particular a piston for a pressure medium accumulator of a hydraulic unit of an electronically slip-controllable vehicle brake system, includes a cylindrical piston shaft, and a piston head covering the piston shaft. The piston head includes a circumferentially closed blind-hole-shaped recess having an opening. A cross section of the recess in a region of the opening has at least one smaller dimension than a cross section in a region of a base of the recess opposite the opening. The recess forms a mechanism configured to separate particles out from the pressure medium.

A three-dimensional monolithic diaphragm tank including a first portion having a first inner surface, a second portion having a second inner surface, and a deformable diaphragm extending from a peripheral junction with the first inner surface and the second inner surface. The first inner surface and the diaphragm defining a first chamber. The second inner surface and the diaphragm defining a second chamber. The first portion having an outlet port in fluid communication with the first chamber, and the second portion having an inlet port in fluid communication with the second chamber. The peripheral junction of the diaphragm and the first inner surface including an integral inner fillet having an inner radius.

A method for the production of a bladder accumulator (10) that separates two media chambers (16, 18) from one another in a storage housing (12) by a bladder body (14). The following production steps include extruding a plastic tube over the bladder body (14), shaping the plastic tube with the integrated bladder body (14) in a molding tool that corresponds to a predeterminable plastic core container (20), and winding at least one plastic fiber from the outside on the plastic core container (20) for the purpose of creating the storage housing (12).

A drop-in signal accumulator piston assembly replaces an original equipment (OE) signal accumulator piston in a vehicle transmission hydraulic circuit. The OE signal accumulator piston is positioned in a bore in a valve body that has an open end and a fluid port. The drop-in signal accumulator piston assembly includes a cylindrical sleeve having open first and second ends and a piston positioned in the sleeve. A spring is positioned in part in the piston and in part extending beyond and end of the piston. A plug is positioned in the bore adjacent the sleeve. The sleeve is positioned in the valve body bore, with the piston, and the spring, and the plug is positioned in the valve body bore to enclose the sleeve, the piston and the spring in the valve body bore. A method for replacing an original equipment (OE) signal accumulator piston in a transmission hydraulic circuit is disclosed.

A drop-in signal accumulator piston assembly to replace an original equipment (OE) signal accumulator piston in a vehicle transmission hydraulic circuit, the OE signal accumulator piston being positioned in a bore in a valve body having an open end and a fluid port. The drop-in signal accumulator piston assembly includes a sleeve having open first and second ends. The sleeve is configured to be positioned within the bore of the valve body with the first end closer than the second end to the fluid port. A piston is positioned in the sleeve and a spring biases the piston towards the fluid port. A plug is positioned in the bore closer to the second end of the sleeve than to the first end of the sleeve to thereby removably retain the sleeve, the piston, and the spring within the bore.

The present invention is an apparatus, system and method to properly align and install large pistons in cylinders that holds both the piston and cylinder being assembled, and has a number of alignment mechanisms such as but not limited to a laser.

An accumulator piston device having an accumulator piston which, on a circumference of a first shaft portion, has a first guide ring which surrounds the piston shaft and which protrudes radially over an externally dimensionally larger second shaft portion of the piston shaft.

Separator and hydraulic accumulator having such a separator. A separator, in particular for a hydraulic accumulator, such as a bellows accumulator, which is produced by a 3D printing process, consisting of one single diaphragm, which, when viewed in cross section, is deflected in an arcuate shape to form a multitude of bellows pleats at deflection points, which delimit the bellows pleats on the outside and the inside, and in that, to obtain an isotensoid or essentially isotensoid stress profile in the diaphragm, the notional extensions of the diaphragm surfaces adjacent to each deflection point form an acute angle with each other, at least in an initial state.
