Hydraulic workshop presses for bending & punching
Hydraulic presses for industrial use
Hydraulic presses are an especially popular and profitable way of producing and processing various components and workpieces. The original hydraulic press operates by relying on Pascals theory, which states that pressure applied to a fluid within an enclosed system remains constant throughout. Hydraulic presses therefore use two hydraulic cylinders to create a large compressive force. Fluid - usually oil - is poured into a smaller ‘slave’ cylinder, which is then pushed through to a far larger master cylinder. A piston in the larger cylinder then pushes the fluid back into the slave cylinder, resulting in a larger force. Most modern hydraulic presses generate the required pressure by utilising electronic motors in tandem with high performance pumps.
Variations of Hydraulic presses
Types of hydraulic presses vary according to requirements. Arbor presses are available in a variety of speculations but are generally used for lighter work, such as hole piercing and inscription marking.

C Frame presses only include a single press application and are mostly used for assembly work. They are specifically designed to maximise floor space in order to facilitate easy and safe movement within the workplace. Pneumatic presses work at high production speeds and can be effectively used for drawing,punching and assembling. However, the level of pressure they are able to generate is limited, and a trained full-time operator is required. It is possible to find machines with considerable pressing capabilities - some of which reach almost 80,000 tonnes of pressure - and ones which are capable of processing more than one press application, such as the H Frame. Smaller hand held versions of C and O frames are also widely available.
Applications of Hydraulic presses
Hydraulic presses are used in almost all industrial operations. The wide range of presses on offer combined with the full range of metal forming that can be achieved by their employment cater to the requirements of many industries.They can be used for metal forging, cutting, punching, reforming and clinching. Smaller scale presses are also used in the formation of powders within the cosmetic, food and pharmaceuticalindustries. This flexibility, combined with multiple production options and a rapid operating speed make them a very popular option, even for smaller businesses.
