Schwabe SR Series Hydraulic Presses
The Schwabe SR series Hydraulic Press has significant advantages over other press designs:
The Schwabe Straight Ram design allows for full tonnage over the entire stroke of the platen.
- The press structure is simple and has only three moving parts namely: platen, center guide, and hydraulic cylinder rods.
- Because of this design simplicity the maintenance of the press itself is limited to lubrication.
- Side die loading is one option with this design which cannot be done with some other press types.
- The press dimensions can be customized without affecting the action of the press. This is because the platen guiding and cylinder mounting are centralized in the top structure.
- The bed height can be lower than pull down or base linkage presses since the beds only function is to provide a flat stiff structure.
- Hydraulic cylinders are removable from the open structure of the top piece not hidden in a table bed structure. Rod seals can be changed without removing the cylinders in most designs.
- The central large diameter guide column makes it possible to die cut against a soft pad without the need for positive stops. The floating design allows the platen to conform to moderate off-center loading.
- The SR can be fitted with various positive stop configurations: table, platen, and overhead mounted stops. The over head stops are especially suited for side die loading applications.
- The hydraulic cylinder placement, when used on a solid platen, tends to elastically match the deflection of the table bed rather than the separation that will occur with pull down press designs.
- Wear items are few consisting of the guide bushings, center guide, and anti-rotation cam roller and guide bar all of which have long life expectancies. Presses operating in abrasive or corrosive environments can be easily modified with protective bellows and material selection to suit.
