Arbor Presses

Whether you're staking, riveting, or doing other press work, an arbor press is an indispensable tool in any fabrication shop. With models ranging up to 3 tons of continuous force, there is an arbor press perfect for any task. Made from durable ductile and cast iron, these presses feature various anvil heights and ram sizes to perform a variety of different functions.

An arbor press can be used for a variety of tasks such as punching, bending, and installing or removing bearings. It can also be used for small stamping and riveting jobs. Additionally, an arbor press can apply a high amount of force with precision and control, making it useful for tasks that require a lot of pressure to be applied in a small area. Overall, an arbor press is a versatile tool that can be useful for a wide range of tasks in a variety of fields such as metalworking and automotive repair.

An arbor press has the following features. The base of the press provides stability and support for the press during operation. The ram is the part of the press that moves up and down, applying force to the workpiece. The bed is the surface on which the workpiece is placed. It is usually made of cast iron and may have grooves or T-slots to hold the workpiece in place. The handle is used to raise and lower the ram, and can be used to apply a specific amount of force to the workpiece. The spindle is a cylindrical rod that runs through the center of the press. It can be used to hold tools such as punches and dies, which are used to shape the workpiece. Gibs are the adjustable plates that allow for precise alignment of the ram and the bed. A safety shield is usually provided to protect the operator from flying debris and from injury caused by the press. Some Arbor press come with a scale to indicate the amount of force applied on the press. Some Arbor press also come with a micrometer adjustment to fine-tune the position of the ram.
