0.5 Tonne Arbor Press

Heavy-duty cast-iron construction forms the backbone of this bench-mounted manual arbor press designed for intricate mechanical tasks where a hydraulic unit would be excessive. Capable of delivering up to 500kg of force, this compact tool is a staple for engineers and mechanics needing to seat small bearings, bushings, or carry out repetitive punching and bending operations. The precision-machined steel ram is driven by a smooth-acting rack and pinion mechanism, ensuring that force is applied vertically and consistently without the jerking motion associated with hammer-and-drift methods. Its four-position work table provides varied slot sizes to support workpieces of different diameters, allowing for clean pass-through of pins and shafts. Whether you are working on small engine components or precision fabrication, it offers the controlled pressure necessary to prevent component deformation. The small footprint makes it an excellent addition to any workbench where space is at a premium but mechanical advantage is still required for daily precision fitting and assembly work.

• Heavy-duty cast iron frame: Provides a rigid and stable platform that prevents flexing under load to ensure accurate alignment during pressing.
• Machined steel ram: Delivers smooth, vertical pressure to the workpiece, reducing the risk of damaging delicate components or small bearings.
• Four-position work table: Offers multiple slot widths to accommodate various pin sizes and provide maximum support for different workpiece shapes.
• Manual rack and pinion drive: Gives the operator tactile feedback and precise control over the speed and pressure applied for sensitive fitting tasks.
  
  Pre-drilled mounting holes: Allows the press to be securely bolted to a workbench, preventing the unit from tipping or moving during high-leverage operations.

• Cast steel frame with machined steel toothed arbor.

• 4-Position table with 10/15/20/32mm cut-outs for pressing operations.

• Throat Depth: 90mm.

• Max Table Height: 75mm.

• Suitable for repetitive manufacturing operations.
