Hydraulic Pressing Machine Types and Characteristics

21 Feb.,2024

 

In the mechanical industry, hydraulic pressing machines have various structural forms. The structural forms of hydraulic presses for different purposes are also different.

What is a hydraulic press? A hydraulic press is a kind of machine that uses hydraulic oil as the power source. Through the force of the hydraulic pump, the one-way valve makes the hydraulic oil circulate in the oil tank so as to make the cylinder/piston can do work in a cycle to complete a certain mechanical action as a productivity.



From the direction of the force: vertical and horizontal. Most hydraulic presses are vertical. The hydraulic press for extrusion is mostly horizontal.

From the frame: column type, single arm type and frame type. The column type is divided into four columns, double columns, three columns and multi-columns.

From the number of working cylinders: single cylinder, triple cylinder and multi cylinder.
