Manual Hydraulic Press Machine

A hydraulic press is a machine press using a hydraulic cylinder to generate a compressive force. It uses the hydraulic equivalent of a mechanical lever, and was also known as a Bramah press after the inventor, Joseph Bramah, of England. He invented and was issued a patent on this press .At its simplest, a manual press consists of a metal frame, ram and lever. The worker mounts a part in the base fixture and sets the ram height. He then pulls on the lever to press the ram (with tooling) down onto the part. Simple operation is not the only appeal of manual presses, explains Rupprecht.
