Beckwood Designs Hydraulic Presses for Extreme Off-Center Loading


Beckwood Press Company offers an answer to off-center loading problems with a press designed specifically to balance the hydraulic system for multiple load requirements. These machines are rigidly guided, and able to significantly reduce machinery costs by incorporating one press to handle multiple die sets and progressive die application needs.

Beckwood was recently asked to deliver a press that would handle three individual die sets for a leading agricultural and products supplier. Beckwood Engineers studied the application and designed one hydraulic press for their multiple, but pre-determined, load requirements. Beckwood was able to utilize its innovative guidance system, combined with customized hydraulic technology, to provide a simplified solution for the customer's off-center loaded application.

This hydraulic press was engineered to handle dedicated die requirements of 80 tons of force at press centerline and 48 tons to the right and left of press center. Each station can be operated independently of one another, or in tandem, for work with dedicated dies. Other press specifications include a 36" x 72" bolster, 12" stroke and an automatic ram slide lubrication system. Beckwood designs their presses specifically for each customer's exact needs, and can provide off-center loading presses with a wide range of options and specifications. More information about this specific example can be found by visiting www.beckwoodpress.com and typing in 315 in the "Press Example Number" search engine box at the bottom left side of the homepage.

The Beckwood Press Company utilizes proven and standard designs that are tailored to their customers' specific applications. They offer a variety of hydraulic and servo-motion presses from 2-2000+ tons. These presses can be made for virtually any industry, with an unlimited amount of capabilities and options. The company has recently celebrated their 30th anniversary and is located on the web at www.beckwoodpress.com
