Hydraulic Press Machine – The Inexhaustible Beast, Find Out How!
Forming sheets of metal from metallic objects, thinning glass, crushing cars, and making powders are some of the tasks of a hydraulic press machine. The hydraulic press machine is widely used in industries for various operations. Working Principle of hydraulic press machine Two cylinders containing hydraulic fluid are connected. One larger cylinder is called Ram. The other smaller one is called a plunger. Hydraulic cylinder contains liquid only for a special reason as liquid doesn’t get compressed easily. A small amount of force on the plunger presses the liquid downwards. This uplifts ram due to the even distribution of pressure. As a result, presses the material placed between both the cylinders. This is how the hydraulic press machine works based on Pascal’s Law, which says that pressure will remain the same in both the cylinders i.e. ram and plunger even though their difference in sizes (the larger cylinder – Ram, the smaller cylinder -plunger).
