The hydraulic press has many uses and can be used for installation and removal of press fit parts as well as metal forming and punching. The press consists of a hydraulic cylinder that moves down towards the table as the handle is pumped and hydraulic pressure is produced. As long as the cylinder moves the force will remain fairly low. When the cylinder stops moving the hydraulic pressure system will start to build. As the force increases so does the chance of of something flying. 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 happening. |
