PROCEDURE

Press to remove and install bearings, bushings, gears, ball joints, U-joints, and pulleys. Press will provide substantial pressure for press-out jobs. H-frame shop press can be used for electric motor and armature repair, installation and removal of pressure-fitted parts, and bending or straightening of metal.

  • Working distance: 1-3/4 in. to 25-1/2 in.
  • Width between channels: 17 in.
  • Raise and lower table for working distance

Tool Setup and Operation:

  • Use the Support Pins to adjust the height of the Press Apron.
  • Position the Press Apron as high as possible while positioning the workpiece as close as possible to the ram of the Ram Plate.
  • When pressing two items together, the items must be lined up vertically. If not, one item may forcefully eject sideways from the unit.
  • Place the item to press between the Arbor Plates.
  • Using the Ram Handle, jack down the Ram Plate until the ram of the Ram Plate contacts your workpiece. If you are pressing two items together, line them up vertically.
  • Continue to operate the Handle to press the workpiece.
  • When the task is completed, carefully release the Ram pressure. For safety, remove the Handle, and use it to slowly turn the Valve Release Screw on the Ram, allowing the Ram Plate to rise
