Building A Hydraulic Forging Press

Illustrations: 35. This book and drawings are designed to help you build your own 24 ton Hydraulic Forging Press. A two horsepower 220 volt single phase motor running at 1725 RPM powers a 5.5 gallon per minute 'Hi-Lo' hydraulic pump. Ram force of 24 tons is applied by a 5' diameter double acting hydraulic cylinder at 2500 psi pressure. The movement of the ram die is controlled by a 4 way, 3 position hydraulic valve.

The 10 minute video below takes you through every component of the forging press and its construction allowing you to take inspiration and even build your very own if you have the skills, materials and equipment.

Ever wanted to fab up your own industrial shop press? This bad boy gets into the pretty thick stuff! These plans will handle up to a 50 ton hydraulic ram! Don't go out and spend $8k+ on name brand equipment, build it yourself and save thousands of dollars with these easy to follow welding plans. Versatility of the hydraulic forging press for the blacksmith and the knife maker. It provides a comparison between the press and other machinery, the different types of presses, which type of press is right for your application, should you build one or buy one, focuses on tooling that you can make to get the most out of your press and much.

“Forging is a process used to form metal into large quantities of identical parts. It is often used in the manufacturing process of automobiles and to improve the properties of the metal being used. The products made by forging may be large or very small, and can be made of steel or any other metal. Forging changes the shape and size, but not the volume, of a part.

In the forging process, force is applied to the metal so that it stretches beyond the yield point. The force used in forging must be strong enough to change the material, but not so strong that it breaks it. When the material forms into a new shape, this is called the yield point, and when it breaks, this is called the fracture point.

There are many different machines used in the forging process. A forging press is used to form car wheels, bushings, gears and other parts. It uses hydraulic pressure to exert enough force to press the steel or other metal into the required shape. The press may be positioned either vertically or horizontally.”
