The frames of hydraulic presses welded steel O-frames (straight-side frames) (Figure 26.1). In smaller presses
the frame is built in one piece
in larger presses
in three pieces. The three main elements
bottom platen, side columns head are held together with tie rods.

in larger presses
by adjustable axial or radial piston pumps.
The operating pressure for hydraulic presses is between 200 and 300 bar. Too low a pressure
would require an oversized piston

Chapter 26 - 17
In the double-action hydraulic deep drawing percussion press shown in Figure 26.5, a drawing press is combined with a hammer. The die cushion to operate the blank holder
is built into the lower part of this press, under the platen. It is driven separately,
so the drawing ram and the die cushion can be controlled completely independently of one another.

Homework: 2, 3, 4, 5
26.5 Exercise on Chapter 26 1. Explain the drive layout of a hydraulic press. 2. How is the ram speed raised on the return stroke? 3. Why is high speed on the return stroke desirable? 4. What is the difference between a doubleaction and a single-action press? 5. What kind of operations are double-action or triple-action presses needed for?
