Most hydraulic systems do not have accumulators.

both pneumatic & hydraulic systems are applications of fluid powers
A hydraulic drive system is a transmission system. This system uses hydraulic fluid that has been pressurized to make a machine work. Most of these systems utilize hydraulic cylinders.
By "Hydrostatic" systems one tends to mean "closed loop hydraulic systems". That is hydraulic systems comprising a pump and motor hwere the pump supplies the motor whose return side supplies the pump. The speed and direction of rotation of the hydraulic motor being changed according to the displacement angle of the variable displacement axial pison pump. "Open loop hydraulic systems" on the other hand comprises various motors often one or more "linear motors" (hydraulic cylinders). When using hydraulic cylinders in hydraulic systems one needs a reservoir to be able to hold the various volume need of the cylinder. (the displacement on the piston side is usually bigger than the rodside). The reservoir needs a "breather" due to the varous displacement needs hence the "open system".
Hydraulic lifts utilize a hydraulic piston or ram, typically oil filled, to supply the lifting force for raising or lowering an object/load. These hydraulic systems are usually subdivided by the initial force that drives the hydraulic pump which supplies pressure for the piston. Air/Hydraulics (air over hydraulics) and Electric/Hydraulics (electric over hydraulics) are the two most popular types of power supplies for hydraulic driven systems. Cables and pulleys are often incorporated in hydraulic systems to provide equalization between multiple hydraulic cylinders that must work in unison and to remotely transfer the lifting force to areas where a large cylinder would be impractical to locate.
A hydraulic accumulator contains a bladder filled with a compressible gas, usually nitrogen. The pressure of the gas in the bladder is known as the pre-charge, and will vary based on the ambient temperature. Hydraulic oil is pumped into the accumulator but outside of the bladder. As the oil is pumped in, the bladder compresses, which exerts a force on the oil. There is usually an pressure transducer in the system which will signal the hydraulic pump to turn off when a certain oil pressure is reached in the accumulator. A hydraulic accumulator can have several uses. It can be used to store hydraulic pressure for later use. It can be also used as a type of "shock absorber" for hydraulic systems.
In mobile hydraulics, those used in agricultural, industrial, and automotive applications a hydraulic accumulator works like a shock absorber for a hydraulic system. Often a hydraulic accumulator is composed of a housing with a diaphragm between the oil side and the gas side. Pressurized gas (usually dry nitrogen because of its low expansion/contraction properties in relationship to temperature). The accumulator will have a specification for the gas pressure and the hydraulic system can often be used to manipulate the pressure of the oil used in the accumulator depending upon a specific application. Rapid increases and decreases for hydraulic power demands (most often occurring in open-center systems) can shock the hydraulic pump, lines and valves. Open-center positive-displacement systems (constantly providing hydraulic flow while the engine is running) must return to sump when there is no hydraulic need. This is done by use of a relief valve or a 'dump'-valve on the pressure side of the system. There are moments when the relief valve may have a very slight delay. This delay can cause the system to build pressure in a very short period of time and this can strain hydraulic components. So the accumulator it used to soften the blow just a little. Another example would be when using a float application with a hydraulic system, an accumulator may help to buffer the changing oil directions within the hydraulic system.
An ABS hydraulic modulator systems can contain over 2700 psi. the accumulator must be depressurized.
A hydraulic accumulator is a device wherein its main function is to store energy in an efficient way. It does this by temporarily removing the stresses and pressures of external sources such as gasses. There are other types of accumulators as well.
Hydraulic systems are very expensive. Hydraulic systems require special care. Thehydraulic system requires expertise.
Not usually. Hydraulic systems use fluids. Pneumatic systems use gas.
Liquid is used in hydraulic systems.
Air and hydraulic brake systems.
The function of accumulator in hydraulic system is to receive and store excess oil pumped through the system, which is used to compensate sudden increase in loads.
Hydraulic oil and hydraulic fluid are different. Hydraulic fluid is used in small systems such as car brakes. Hydraulic oil is used in large systems such as loaders.
A hydraulic accumulator is an energy storage device. It is a pressure storage reservoir in which a non-compressible hydraulic fluid is held under pressure by an external source. That external source can be a spring, a raised weight, or a compressed gas. The main reasons that an accumulator is used in a hydraulic system are so that the pump doesn't need to be so large to cope with extremes of demand, so that the supply circuit can respond more quickly to any temporary demand and to smooth pulsations.
Pneumatic systems use air or an inert gas. Hydraulic systems use water or oil.
