Product Description
The ca242-3nc is a gas-charged hydraulic accumulator for aircraft brake systems. It stores pressurized nitrogen to stabilize system pressure and absorb pump pulsations, providing reserve pressure during high-demand braking events. The accumulator smooths pressure fluctuations and helps the hydraulic pump meet transient demand without excessive cycling.
Installation requires pre-charging with dry nitrogen per aircraft maintenance manual specifications using approved servicing equipment. Proper maintenance and nitrogen servicing are critical for safe brake system 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.
