The operating principle of a hydraulic press is based on Pascal’s law, which states that the pressure exerted on an equilibrium fluid is transmitted equally to all points of the fluid and to the walls of the container that contains it.
The hydraulic shop press has several advantages compared to other types of presses, such as mechanical or pneumatic ones. Among the advantages, we can mention:
• Obtain a high force with a small thrust, thanks to the ratio between the areas of the two cylinders that make up the hydraulic press.
• Adjust the force and speed of the hydraulic press by varying the fluid pressure or pump flow.
• Have a constant and uniform force over the entire surface of the material, without jolts or vibrations.
• The possibility of adapting the hydraulic press to different shapes and sizes of materials, thanks to the flexibility of the fluid and the variety of molds and tools available.
Hydraulic shop presses are widely used in mechanical workshops to carry out various processes, such as bending sheet metal, dismantling bearings, carrying out repairs on engines or straightening materials. Since they are machines subject to continuous stress, it is necessary that their metal structure and the quality of the hydraulic and electrical circuits are able to cope with the work to be carried out. This is why at Sicmi we produce high quality hydraulic workshop presses, with superior technical and performance characteristics. All the hydraulic workshop presses produced by the Sicmi company are made entirely in Italy, with first choice materials and components. Furthermore, the Sicmi company exports its hydraulic workshop presses all over the world, satisfying the needs of various industrial sectors, such as automotive, aeronautics, steel industry, carpentry and mechanics.
