Product Description
The ca242-3c is a hydraulic accumulator that stores pressurized fluid to maintain system pressure and absorb shock loads in aircraft brake circuits. This gas-charged component uses a piston or bladder element sealed within a steel housing to supply emergency pressure during system demand and dampen pressure pulsations. Installed in brake hydraulic systems on general and corporate aircraft, it provides reserve energy for emergency braking while protecting components from transient pressure spikes.
Service and precharge procedures must follow the aircraft maintenance manual specifications for safe operation.
Please note: Product descriptions are provided for informational purposes. Always refer to your aircraft's Illustrated Parts Catalog (IPC) to verify part compatibility and specifications.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the ACCUMULATOR (P/N ca242-3c)?
