Flarings Application C Frame Press

C-frame presses are a commonly used type of hydraulic press. These presses get their name from the fact that the press itself is shaped like the letter “C”, however the press may be referred to by other names such as “gap-frame press”.Presses are typically used to press two things together or press two things apart, such as bearings, other shaft fitted metal parts or to bend or straighten materials. Certain smaller presses, such as C-frame presses, can also be used to hold materials together during assembly or to disassemble parts for maintenance.Press types are straight-side, BG (back geared), geared, gap, OBI (open back inclinable) and OBS (open back stationary). Hydraulic and mechanical presses are classified by the frame the moving elements are mounted on. The most common are the gap-frame, also known as C-frame, and the straight-side press.
