Separator and hydraulic accumulator having such a separator. A separator, in particular for a hydraulic accumulator, such as a bellows accumulator, which is produced by a 3D printing process, consisting of one single diaphragm, which, when viewed in cross section, is deflected in an arcuate shape to form a multitude of bellows pleats at deflection points, which delimit the bellows pleats on the outside and the inside, and in that, to obtain an isotensoid or essentially isotensoid stress profile in the diaphragm, the notional extensions of the diaphragm surfaces adjacent to each deflection point form an acute angle with each other, at least in an initial state.

Separator and hydraulic accumulator having such a separator

The disclosure relates to an hydraulic accumulator, in particular a diaphragm accumulator, having an accumulator housing and a separating element disposed therein, which separates two media spaces from each other, wherein a weld seam is formed by a laser or electron beam welding process without any filler materials, in that at least a part of the wall parts delimiting the transition point are melted to form the weld seam, which closes off the transition point towards the surroundings, in a manner that is free of protrusions with respect to an outer circumferential surface of a connection element.
