  Hydraulic accumulator - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
It is a pressure storage reservoir in which a non-compressible hydraulic fluid is held under pressure by an external source.
In contrast to compressed gas and spring accumulators, this type delivers a nearly constant pressure, regardless of the volume of fluid in the cylinder, until it is empty.
According to Hooke's law the magnitude of the force exerted by a spring is linearly proportional to its extension.

 Hydraulic Accumulator,Hydraulic Accumulator Manufacturers,Hydraulic Accumulators,Manufacturer India
A hydraulic accumulator is a pressure storage reservoir in which a non compressible hydraulic fluid is retained under pressure from an external source.
As fluid is pumped to it, the pressure in the accumulator is determined by the compression rate of the spring.
The hydraulic accumulators are applicable for hydraulic shock suppression are suitable for leakage compensation.

 Hydrotrole - Hydraulic Accumulators and Hydropneumatic Accumulators
The pressure generated by a spring-loaded accumulator depends on the initial loading and spring rate of the spring, and thus is not constant throughout the stroke of the piston.
Accumulators of this type are compact and light, but best suited to systems where demand is intermittent and the fluid volumes required from the accumulator flow are not very large, as this type of accumulator is not normally made in large sizes.
An accumulator is a convenient source of pressure to operate a holding device at constant pressure, regardless of demand from other sections of the system, or for maintaining a high working pressure on a workpiece during a long stand-by period.

 WHAT'S AN ACCUMULATOR? - Tobul Accumulator,Inc. Bamberg, South Carolina
A hydraulic accumulator is a device in which potential energy is held under pressure in the form of a compressed gas or spring or by a raised weight to be used to exert a force against a relatively incompressible fluid.
Accumulators can be used to stabilize pressure changes in hydraulic systems when liquid is subjected to rising or falling temperatures.
They use a gas as a spring cushion in conjunction with a hydraulic fluid, the gas being separated by a piston or a thin diaphragm or bladder.

 Transmission, Driveline, Hybrid Drive engineering - hydraulic gas accumulator   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
Yet on current CVTs, even if there is no shifting (no displacement), the hydraulic actuator and pump still uses up a lot of energy to supply the "clamping force", which is the force the pulley halves must exert on the belt at all times in order to create the necessary friction drive force.
When activation is requied this pressure will provide the force to move the actuator and at the same time a pressure switch on the accumulator would engage the hyraulic pump to recharge the accumulator.
Accumulators are routinely used with "Offloading valves" specifically for this purpose.
