A press is a machine that applies pressure on a workpiece, like a metal, to change its shape and form. Presses are applied in a wide range of fabrication processes, like cutting and stamping. The machines come in a wide range of styles and designs and Hydraulic press forming machines are some of the most common types of presses. This write-up discusses various things you need to know about hydraulic press forming machines.
What is a hydraulic press machine?
A hydraulic press forming machine, also known simply as a hydraulic press machine, is a device that uses static pressure from a liquid to process various products. The machines have the term hydraulic in their title because they use fluid as their working medium.
What is the working principle of hydraulic press machines
These machines use Pascal’s law as their working principle. Pascal’s law states that the intensity of pressure in a static liquid or a fluid is usually transmitted equally in all directions.
How do hydraulic press machines work?
These machines are made up of two cylinders. The cylinders feature different diameters. Naturally, one is larger than the other one. The larger cylinder contains the ram. On the other hand, the smaller cylinder contains the plunger. Both cylinders are connected using a pipe. The pipe contains the fluid through which the pressure is transmitted.
A small force is applied to the plunger when the start button is pressed on a hydraulic press machine. The force is applied in the downward direction. This produces pressure on the liquid that’s in direct contact with the plunger. The pressure is then transmitted equally in all directions.
On the other hand, the ram receives the pressure as it acts on it upward. Depending on the type of machine, the ram may either be stationary or in motion. The pressure also differs depending on the amount of the operation.
It is also worth mentioning that hydraulic press machines are also made up of a power unit and a piston. The role of the power unit is to facilitate the movement of the piston within the cylinder. This movement is what causes the internal fluid pressure to rise and the cylinder to move along the piston axis.
