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.
