Mini Accumulators for Challenging Space Applications

Key Features of our Mini Accumulators:

All Metal Construction: Ensures durability and reliability in the harsh conditions of space. This feature eliminates the use of elastomeric components like O-rings, bladders, or pistons— minimizing wear, leakage, and stiction. This makes our accumulators maintenance-free, ensuring continuous operation in space.

Optimized Lightweight & Compact Designs: Optimizes weight and volume for mass-sensitive space applications. Our mini accumulators are designed to be lightweight, with existing models weighing under 200 grams and occupying less than 10 cubic inches of space. This compact, low-mass design makes them ideal for applications where every gram matters.

Wide Range of Materials: Compatibility with the unique requirements of space missions due to our mini accumulator’s ability to be fabricated from a variety of materials, including stainless steels, high nickel alloys, and titanium.

Compatibility with Various Propellants/Fluids: Customizable to be compatible with a wide range of hypergolic and non-hypergolic propellants as well as coolant fluids and hydraulic fluids used in space applications.

Senior Metal Bellows’ mini accumulators exemplify engineering excellence— delivering exceptional reliability, performance, and adaptability for space applications. Driven by our commitment to innovation and expertise in edge-welded metal bellows technology, our mini accumulators have been utilized in numerous technical space programs.

We are proud to have contributed to the success of space missions since the Apollo program in the 1960s. Since then, our extensive product range has been utilized in numerous manned and unmanned space systems, launch vehicles, and satellites.
