Manufacturer of Hydraulic Presses
A hydraulic press is a heavy-duty machine used to compress objects with a ram. They can also punch and cut metal components in different industrial assembly processes and applications. Typically, hydraulic press machines exude remarkable performance and are reliable, but just like any other equipment, they are susceptible to wear and tear over time.
Here are common problems that might be ailing your hydraulic press machine:
You should operate the hydraulic press at a temperature not exceeding 150°F to optimize its performance. High temperatures can damage sealing compounds and degrade the hydraulic press oil. Low and degraded fluid levels in the press reservoir and ineffective cooling circuits will lead to overheating. Therefore, it is essential to avoid overworking the press, clean the filters, and replace the oil regularly to keep the machine from too much pressure, friction, and overheating.
Generally, the hydraulic press should achieve the optimal pressure within one second. Any longer than that could mean the press pump has an issue, and its fluid is not being pumped to the ram properly. That can be due to dirt caught in the fluid and leaks in the hydraulic press. So, it’s smart to examine your pump and other components such as the motor and relief valve to ensure that everything is clean and working optimally.
Typically, oil leaks can be seen around the ram, hose end fittings, and hydraulic lines. If you notice this issue, it’s important to ensure that you use the oil type specified for the hydraulic press and that fittings are tightened properly.
Regular care and maintenance of your hydraulic press is vital in keeping the machine operational and prolonging its life. However, even with regular inspections, years of continuous usage can wear the press down. So, if you notice recurring electrical issues, cracked frames, and low pump pressure, it could be time to replace the hydraulic press or its components.
