A '''hydraulic press''' is a machine tool that uses a hydraulic cylinder to generate a compressive force. They are often used in shops to press interference fit parts together, such as gears onto shafts or bearings into housings.

Some of the other uses include bending and forming metal. Some presses use a manual pump to produce the force while others use compressed air or a power unit driven by an electric motor.

====Overview====

====Operation====

The press consists of a pump and hydraulic ram that moves down towards the table as the handle is cycled.  The hydraulic press has a 58 mm diameter ram and can produce 30 tons of force. Some of the many uses including installation and removal of press fit parts as well as metal forming and punching.  The ram can also be powered using compressed shop air, but should never be attempted without the shop techs supervision.  The ram can be adjusted laterally as need to accommodate a specific part.  As long as the ram keeps moving the force will remain fairly low. When the cylinder stops moving the hydraulic pressure in the system will start to build. As the force increases so does the risk. Pieces that are subjected to a high amount of force can shatter or explode. Make sure you are aware of what is happening and don't keep pumping on the handle and increasing the force without knowing what is occurring.

Make sure you have a full understanding of what you are attempting to accomplish before possibly getting into a risky situation. Ask a supervisor if you have any questions. Its important to properly set up the press before performing a job. It is good practice to observe the setup from various angles to ensure part alignment. If there is any risk something could fall on the floor during the process have a box or padding to catch the part. The table needs to be moved to the proper height to accommodate the work piece and ram travel. You want to avoid extending the ram farther than needed to prevent material from tipping over. Always make sure you will have enough ram travel to perform the task at hand. The release valve handle will need to be turned fully clockwise to allow the system to build pressure. It is imperative that you keep the work piece from tipping or slipping to the side while applying force to prevent flying parts and or damage. You should use a guide when pressing in a pin to prevent the pin or rod from slipping while installation. Keep an eye on the force gauge to verify your work piece is not sticking or hanging up. When the piece is pressed to its maximum travel pressure will start to build and could cause damage if you keep cycling the handle. Be aware that a part or piece could bottom out and avoid applying more force at the end of your parts travel than needed.

If there is any risk something could fall on the floor during the process have a box or padding to catch the part. The table needs to be moved to the proper height to accommodate the work piece and ram travel.  The table plates have two sides.  One side is flat and the other has a V shape for holding round parts. The plates have a pin in each corner that prevent the plate from sliding off the table. You want to avoid extending the ram farther than needed to prevent material from tipping over.

====Demonstration====

====Demonstration====

Demonstrate you can setup the press and safety install a pin with a press fit into an aluminum block.  You will also press the pin out after insertion.  The pin has an outer diameter of .375" and the block has 4 holes that have been reamed to .374" The dowel pin, plate, guide, and extraction tool will be provided.  Remember the guide will help keep the pin straight during installation. The extraction tool has a pin with a smaller diameter that will assist in pressing out the dowel pin. You will also need an extra person to help adjust the table height.

====General Procedure====

====General Procedure====

==Safety==

==Safety==

When operating a hydraulic press be aware that extremely dangerous forces can be produced which could cause parts to shatter and fly like mini bullets.  It's very important to keep an eye on the force gauge while increasing force and to be aware of the dangers of flying parts.  Always keep you hands away from the ram and parts being pressed. Keep stacked parts as short as possible to prevent tilting or buckling. If you have questions ask a supervisor prior to attempting a project that could be potentially dangerous.  Be aware that you may be working with heavy material located several feet above the floor and there is potential to drop metal on your feet.

Make sure the 4 locking pins located on the table plates are engaged to prevent the plates from sliding off the table.
