Metal data plate as safety wired to strut body marked simply with following:ASSEM. 551200-1S/N 624086ACUST. No. (LEFT BLANK - NOT STAMPED)CYLINDER ACCUMULATORPACIFIC DIVISIONBENDIX AVIATION CORP.NORTH HOLLYWOOD, CALIF.It's a beefy hydraulic accumulator - measuring about 36" length and about 3 inches. Weight is appx. 15 pounds. Original application notes it was rated for 3000 PSI rated hydraulic system. I recall seeing long accumulators like these in the North American Aviation F-86 "Sabre" series jets. Internally, this is an O ring system. This carries displacement volume capacity of 200 cubic inches. This one is still safety wired together. I see no visible damage. We'd removed this one from Lockheed PV-2D N7251C, where the former owner had used it as a replacement to the 8" hydraulic Houdeaille type ball accumulators. This long O ring system was ultimately easier to maintain in the field and being an O ring system it was easier to repair quickly if there was a hydraulic issue. This accumulator was removed from an aircraft that still had a lot of residual 5606 hydraulic fluid in the system, albeit damaged an inoperative for at least 30 years. I suspect with a disassembly, inspection and new O rings it'd ready for duty once again. Nice admonishment placard for servicing and adding pressure. This was a water transfer decal.Interesting piece. What you see in the photo series is exactly what you get. Ships cheapest via UPS or FedEx Ground, I'd imagine. Questions? Please ask seller. And thanks for looking!
