Hydraulic presses

Precise force for every application

Hydraulic presses are indispensable in numerous industries for forming, bending, punching or pressing components. These hydraulic systems deliver enormous compressive force, making it possible to process metal, plastic and other materials with high precision. HK Hydraulik offers comprehensive solutions for the repair and maintenance of hydraulic presses in the field of sheet metal bending and metal forming to ensure consistent performance and reliability.

Application areas for hydraulic presses

Sheet metal forming and pressing

Hydraulic presses are often used in sheet metal and pressing where they shape materials under high pressure and manufacture precise components. Whether in the automotive industry or mechanical engineering – hydraulic presses make it possible to manufacture complex molds efficiently and with maximum precision.

Powder metallurgy

In powder metallurgy, hydraulic presses are used to compress metal powder under high pressure and shape it into components. This technology is often used in the production of gears, bearings and other machine components.

Recycling industry

In the recycling industry, hydraulic presses are used for crushing and compacting materials. They are able to compress materials such as paper, plastic and metal and thus reduce the volume, which makes transportation and further processing easier.

Typical hydraulic components in hydraulic presses

Hydraulic Pumps

Hydraulic pumps provide the necessary compressive force to deform or press the material. Hydraulic presses often use axial piston pumps of the series A2V, A4VSO, A7VO etc. from Brueninghaus for use.

Hydraulic Cylinder

Hydraulic cylinders are responsible for the power transmission in the press. They convert the hydraulic energy into linear movement and thus provide the required pressure force for the pressing process.

Hydraulic Valves

Control valves regulate the flow of hydraulic fluid and control the movements of the cylinders. They are crucial for precisely controlling the pressure force and achieving consistent results.

Services from HK Hydraulik

To minimize downtime, we offer you complete hydraulic service for press pumps of all leading manufacturers such as Müller Weingarten, Schuler, SMG etc. But we don’t just repair current series – because with our experience, we know how best to reliably repair older series, e.g. Hydro-Gigant 6250, CV series and 113.32.

As a hydraulics service company, we are also happy to help you with the repair and maintenance of hydraulic cylinders, oil care or with tubing.

Advantages of hydraulic presses

High compressive force: Hydraulic systems provide the necessary force to shape materials under high pressure. This makes hydraulic presses ideal for processing metal, plastic and other hard materials.
Precise control: Hydraulic presses enable sensitive control of the pressure so that precise results are achieved with every pressing process. Due to the wide range of control options and complex machine processes, maintenance requires a particularly powerful special test bench.
Reliability and efficiency: Hydraulic presses are designed for a long service life and reliable continuous operation, enabling them to deliver consistently high performance even at high production rates.
Flexibility: Hydraulic presses can be used for a wide range of applications, from sheet metal processing to plastics processing, and are therefore extremely versatile in use.

FAQ Hydraulic presses

Which components of a hydraulic press require regular maintenance?

Components that require regular maintenance include hydraulic cylinders, pumps, valves and seals to ensure constant pressure force and performance.
How often should hydraulic systems in presses be serviced?

The maintenance intervals depend on the intensity of use, but should be adhered to in order to minimize downtimes and extend the service life of the machine.
What signs indicate a defect in the hydraulic press?

The most common signs include loss of pressure and/or speed, leaks and delayed cylinder reactions. Unusual noises during the pressing process can also indicate a problem.
Does HK Hydraulik offer repair of hydraulic units for hydraulic presses?

Yes, we offer repairs for leading machine manufacturers.
