Hydraulic presses offers a range of advantages over mechanical presses. They provide high performance and superior reliability in almost every application. To ensure flexibility, various levels of sophistication are available right from simple mechanical control to digital control. At Santec, engineers and research professionals consistently work to improve the products' technology to make them suitable for different types of applications. These improvements are applied to standardize the designs for better efficiency and rigidity. All these efforts ensure following advantages: Heavy Duty Guide Bushings Ram slide bushings are designed to be low maintenance, non-wearing components. There is no wear of the bushing surface, if ram is periodically lubricated. The bushings are designed to last the life of the press. Service and Reliability Every system is engineered using proven methods. Once engineered, they are subjected to rigorous testing. Regardless of the level of sophistication, each system undergoes an exhaustive review for continuous duty cycling, insuring hydraulic system integrity and performance at peak production rates. Full Power Stroke Unlike mechanical presses where full power is delivered only at the bottom, full pressing force can be delivered at any point in the stroke in hydraulic press. Full tonnage is achieved throughout the stroke. Other advantages include faster set-ups and no time consuming job of adjusting the stroke nut on the slide to accommodate different dies. Built-in Overload Protection A 100-ton hydraulic press exerts only 100 tons pressure. Therefore, no need to worry about overloading or breaking the press or smashing a die. When hydraulic press reaches its set pressure, that's all the pressure there is. The relief valve opens at that limit and there is no danger of overload. Low Operating Costs Hydraulic presses provides dual benefits of low operating costs and low initial costs. The significant cost advantages is because of few moving parts. Breakdowns are very rare and if occur, they are usually minor. Typical maintenance include replacements of packing, solenoid coils and occasionally valves. Larger Capacities Stroke lengths of 12, 18, and 24 inches are common, however extra stroke length is easy to provide. Open gap can also be added without much additional cost. In addition to this, large table areas and small presses with big bed areas can also be provided. Tonnage of the press is not indicative of bed size. Large 200-ton presses with relatively small beds are available.
More Control Flexibility Hydraulic press power is easy to control. Various factors can be adjusted to fit a particular job such as ram force, direction, speed, release of force, duration of pressure dwell, etc. Jobs with light dies can be done with the pressure turned down. Timers, feeders, heaters, coolers and a variety of auxiliary functions can be brought into the sequence to suit the job. The ram can be made to approach the work rapidly, then shifted to a slower speed before contacting the work. Greater Versatility Within its tonnage range, a single hydraulic press can perform a wide variety of jobs such as deep draws, forming, shell reductions, urethane bulging, blank and pierce, press fits, stake, punch, straightening, metal forming, abrasive wheel forming, bonding, broaching, ball sizing, plastic/rubber compression and transfer molding.

Proper selection of a hydraulic press for a particular application has prime importance. If you find it confusing to decide the set of specifications required, then consider the following points to arrive at a conclusion.

Usually the tonnage required to do a job by hydraulic press is similar to that of mechanical press. There is no real difference. However, the tooling is usually interchangeable. There may be certain applications like deep drawing where the full power stroke of a hydraulic press reduces the tonnage. But, there are no known instances where using a hydraulic press requires more tonnage. Often, selecting press tonnage in the typical press room is little more than guesswork. As for example, a job is successful on a 100-ton mechanical press. The job may never have been tried at 75 tons or at 50 tons. With a hydraulic press, tonnage can be quickly and easily adjusted, tuning the press to precisely the right tonnage for each specific job.

The effect of the stroke on the work is almost same as with a mechanical press in most cases. However, there are some specific limitations. Drop hammers and mechanical presses do a better job on soft jewelry pieces with sharper coining action. However, the full power stroke of the hydraulic presses produce significantly better results in actions like deep drawing, etc. Otherwise there are very few examples where the application of 100 tons of hydraulic force produces any significant difference.

Depending upon the end-requirements, press selection type is chosen. As for example, open-gap presses provide easy access from three sides. At the same time, 4-column presses ensure even pressure distribution. Additionally, straight-side presses offer the rigidity required for off-center loading in progressive die applications. Several other factors also play important role in deciding the type of press. For example, more critical the work and the more demanding the tolerances, the greater the reserve tonnage capacity should be.

Hydraulic presses are offered with a wide array of accessories such as:

• Touch screen controls
• Dwell timers
• Sliding bolsters and rotary index tables
• Die cushions
• Ejection cylinders or knockouts
• Distance reversal limit switches
• Servo system feedback for precise, consistent, repeatable stroke control
• Pressure reversal hydraulic switches
• Automatic (continuous) cycling
• Electronic light curtains and other devices

There are presses for light-duty, which are capable of spanking the work momentarily and reversing. On the other hand, there are heavy-duty machines designed for general purpose metalworking applications. Here are just a few construction points that will provide a basis for comparison of one machine with another:

• Frame construction-rigidity, bolster thickness and dimensional capacity
• Cylinder
• Maximum system pressure
• Horsepower rating
• Duration, length and speed of the pressing stroke
• Speed

Secondary process such finishing and surface treatment is done with the help of conventional tools and equipment. The photographs below provides the glimpses of our well equipped factory.

Personnel who operate, service or design fluid power systems should have a complete understanding of the physics and properties of fluids and their behavior under different circumstances. Liquids and gases have tendency to flow freely, and for that reason both are called fluids (from the Latin fluidus, meaning flow). A fluid may be defined as a substance which changes its shape easily and adapts to the shape of its container. This applies to both liquids & gases.

The fluid serves as the medium by which power is transferred in hydraulic machinery. Common hydraulic fluids are based on mineral oil or water. Because hydraulics can transmit high forces rapidly along lightweight pipes of any size, shape and length, they are the prime source of power in aircraft systems such as flying controls, flaps, retractable undercarriages, wheelbrakes, etc.

Since the first use of water as a hydraulic medium in the late 18th century, hydraulics has become an indispensable discipline of engineering science. This reference text bring different components and principle of hydraulics to provide the readers deeper insight to the subject. Basics of hydraulics such as transmission of force, atmospheric pressure, vacuum pressure, gas laws, etc are discussed in detail to provide a better and precise understanding of the complexities involved.

Oil—How Clean Does It Have To Be? Oil cleanliness has a major effect on wear within equipment.
Clean, dry oil can extend equipment life between failures up to 8-10 times the normal operating life. The Timken Co., a bearing manufacturer in Canton, OH, reports that reducing water levels from 100 ppm to 25 ppm increases bearing life two times. British hydraulics research indicates that if solids contamination with particles larger than 5 micron is reduced from a range of 5000-10,000 particles/ ml of oil to 160-320 particles, machine life is increased five times.

It is clear there is great benefit to be gained in having clean oil and that it may well be worth spending a lot of money to achieve it. This would be the case where expensive equipment was used and the cost of maintenance was high or where the equipment was costly but not highly profitable to operate. Increasing the equipment life and the period between maintenance up to 10 times normal would be highly profitable in both cases. On the other hand, if the cost of replacement equipment is inexpensive, it is unlikely to be justifiable to spend money on oil filtration. Grading Oil Cleanliness Solid particle counts in oil can be done with optical equipment (microscope, light extinction), with an electron-scanning microscope (ESM), or by sifting through screens. Each procedure produces slightly different particle counts due to the varying sensitivity in detecting particles of different sizes. The ESM detects many more smaller particles than the optical methods.

Counting standard ISO 4406-1999 is used internationally to rate solids contamination of oils. This standard classifies the cleanliness of oil and provides a basis to define acceptable solids contamination. It also means oil filters can be tested to prove their performance meets acceptable standards. Table 1 is part of the ISO 4406 method of coding the level of solid particles in an oil sample. The solid particle content of oil gets a classification that represents the number of particles of a particular size range.

Where calibrated automatic counting devices are used to measure contamination, three scale numbers are used to describe solids contamination: 4 micron and larger, 6 micron and larger, and 14 micron and larger. When the count is done by optical microscope two size ranges are used: 5 micron and larger and 15 micron and larger.

For example, oil solid particle contamination can be described as ISO 20/18/16. This means there are between 5000 and 10,000 particles larger than 4 micron/ml sample. Also there are between 1300 and 2500 particles larger than 6 micron/ml of sample and between 320 and 640 particles larger than 14 micron. If a two-scale number is used, the contamination result could be 18/16. In this case there are between 1300 and 2500 particles larger than 5 micron/ml of sample and between 320 to 640 particles larger than 15 micron.


Contaminated Oil Destroys Equipment Dirty oil spells rapid death for hydraulic machinery and lubricated equipment. Fine tolerance equipment can have clearances between parts of 5-10 microns. Solid particles larger than the clearance gap will jam into the space. The solid particles will be further broken up and mangled while ripping out more material from the surfaces.

In equipment with larger tolerances, the oil film between parts can get as thin as 3-5 micron. Solid particles larger than the oil film will be broken up into smaller pieces and produce more solids contamination. Fig. 1 shows a shaft in a journal bearing lubricated by oil.

Oil samples can be taken and analyzed in a laboratory. The analysis can measure a large range of parameters and factors that influence oil quality. Typically these include tests that quantify:

• The number and size of particles.
• The types and quantity of contaminants present.
• The condition of the additives in the oil.
• Changes to oil chemistry caused by the working environment.
• The amount of water present.
• The viscosity of the oil (slipperiness).

It is not necessary to do all tests on all oils in all situations. The selection of the type of analysis depends on the oil and where it is used. The oil used in combustion engines, gearboxes, hydraulic systems, and gas turbines is not the same and the conditions under which it operates are different in each situation. For example, soot would be present in internal combustion engines but it would not be present in gearboxes. There is no value in paying money to measure the amount of soot in a gearbox. But the amount of soot in the oil of a diesel engine is of critical importance.

Testing laboratories are required to follow internationally recognized procedures when measuring oil contamination. Equipment used to measure contaminants also needs to be calibrated to recognized international standards. However, just as there are clean and dirty maintenance shops, there are clean and dirty laboratories. Results from laboratories without good calibration procedures and sample hygiene practices or from people who do not fully understand the equipment and procedures should not be trusted.

Not all solid particle counting laboratory equipment can count particles down to very fine sizes. Results from these laboratories would give false figures showing less contamination at low micron sizes than was actually present. Some laboratories use equipment and methods that do not count particles larger than 100 micron. Results from these laboratories would show incorrect large particle counts. In the future, these large particles would be smashed up and broken down, and the resulting smaller particles would quickly contaminate the oil.

If the sample itself is too heavily contaminated, optical counting methods cannot be used because the light emitted by the analyzer will not pass Solid Particle Oil Film Thickness Fig. 1. Solid particles in bearing oil film. 16 LUBRICATION & FLUID POWER/JANUARY-FEBRUARY 2004 through the sample in the same way the equipment was calibrated to receive. Optical counters can mistakenly count water droplets as solid particles. At times it can be necessary to confirm laboratory results by alternate means to prove the results are reliable.

The method and cleanliness by which an oil sample is taken has a critical effect on the accuracy of the laboratory results. If the sample is falsely contaminated by taking it from the wrong point or in the wrong way, or if the sample-taking equipment or method introduces contaminants, then false contamination levels will be reported.

Agood sample is one that is cleanly taken from the circulating oil flow. The proper sample-taking method and procedure should be agreed with the laboratory and if necessary the laboratory should be asked to provide training for the sample takers. How clean should oil be? Many original equipment manufacturers have accepted the indisputable evidence from numerous field and laboratory trials that oil cleanliness has a major effect on wear within their equipment. Some of them are now specifying how clean the oil used in their equipment must be if warranty claims are to be honored.

For example, Caterpillar Inc. specifies new oil to have a particle count of ISO 16/13. If new oil is above this level of contamination it will not warranty the equipment. When new oil from a leading international oil manufacturer was tested before putting it into new Caterpillar equipment, the solid particle contamination was found to be 17/14. This was new oil from a never previously opened container. In this case the new oil had to be further filtered to bring it to below the required specification

Oil filtration For extremely low wear rates and long equipment life, the evidence indicates that oil needs to be filtered down below 5 micron size and preferably down to 1 micron size. Care needs to be taken that the filter does not remove any solid additives, such as graphite, in the oil. Additives dissolved in the oil will not be removed unless the additive is attached to a solid particle.

Oil filtration can be done under full oil flow or with bypass flow or offline. There are several filter types such as pleated paper and wrapped fibre cord. In all cases the filter must capture a large proportion of greater than 5 micron particles if it is to clean the oil. Filter performance The correct way to measure filter performance is by use of the Beta Rating. which compares the number of particles entering a filter to the number leaving. It is an accurate way to measure true in-service performance. Nominal filter micron size ratings from manufacturers are meaningless. And absolute filter micron size ratings are unreliable since the softer particles in the oil can be squeezed through the filter and reappear as contaminants.

Numerous tests on a range of hydraulic (e.g., piston pump) and oillubricated equipment (e.g., truck engine) have been conducted that confirmed filtering oil and removing particles deliver exceptionally long equipment life. The cost of suitable filtration systems is not expensive. For expensive hydraulic and oil-lubricated equipment the cost of filtration is easily and quickly returned by the large gain in equipment working life and reliability.
