What is a mechanical press?

Mechanical press is a device designed to apply a very high force to create, shape or cut materials, compress solids or for extracting liquids. Mechanical presses range from very small units that are manually operated to large industrial units used in production and assembly lines. For example, a simple hand press can be used to remove the bearing from the machine assembly, or a large press can be used for a punching sheet in curved shapes used to construct the automotive bodies.

Industrial mechanical press is commonly used for cut, bending or to create sheet metal. It usually consists of a structural frame, a lower stationary base and an upper ram that moves along a vertical axis to apply strength. The component that moves along the axis and applies, the force is called RAM . There are various frames and mechanical RAM configurations to meet the functional requirements of the printing.

There are different mechanicsmsmsto generate the force used in a mechanical press. The hydraulic press uses one or more cylinders and liquid at very high pressure to move the cylinder piston and create force. Pneumatic presses are similar to hydraulic presses, but use pressure air versus liquid. The mechanical press is powered by an electric motor that drives a large flywheel, handle and clutch. The mechanical press controlled by the servomo uses high -precision motors to replace the insertion and allows better control of force throughout the RAM.

The amount of force that the mechanical press can generate is known as its capacity . Industrial presses are produced in a wide range of sizes and capacities, ranging from less tons to 10,000 tons or more. Mechanical presses used in industrial applications often apply several tons of force to the objects created.

and die is commonly used in a mechanical press that shapes, the dole orcuts the material. The center is mounted on the print base and has a profile that corresponds to the shape of the created part. Die provides cutting surfaces and recessed space for a stamp or stamped part to which it gets into.

There are many types of mechanical presses that suit different applications. The common industrial use of mechanical press is punching that creates an open hole in the sheet by removing the inner part of the material; stamp that forms a baking tray in a useful shape; and bending that forms a baking tray around a straight axis. Other uses include liquid extraction, such as olive oil extraction for olive oil production; and compressing solids such as mechanical presses used to crush cars in automotive scrap.
