How do hydraulic accumulators work, and what are their uses?

Hydraulic accumulators store pressurised fluid energy, which can be released when needed to supplement pump flow or absorb shocks and pulsations in the system. They consist of a gas-charged chamber and a fluid chamber separated by a flexible diaphragm or piston. Accumulators are used in applications requiring energy storage, emergency power, or dampening effects.
