Hydraulic Press Glossary

C-Frame Hydraulic Press--A C-Frame hydraulic press, also known as a c-style hydraulic press, or a gap frame hydraulic press has a frame configuration that resembles a “C." The C-frame hydraulic press is designed to have a minimal footprint on the shop floor. Other advantages of C-frame hydraulic press construction include an increased open work area, which increases accessibility. C-frame hydraulic presses are used to form a wide range of materials, including rubber, plastics, and composites.

H-Frame Hydraulic Press--Commonly known as a 4 column hydraulic press, an H-Frame hydraulic press has a construction style that resembles the letter H. An H-frame hydraulic press can typically field multiple press applications simultaneously. TMP manufactures a complete H-frame hydraulic press line from 3-200 tons, serving the rubber, plastics, composite, and printed circuit board markets.

Post Press--This basic hydraulic press design utilizes four corner posts to support and guide the press platens and bolster assembly during the forming process.

Slab Side Hydraulic Press or Straight Side Hydraulic Press--Typically this style of hydraulic press uses solid side construction to guide press and platen operation in larger applications. Slab style construction keeps press components properly aligned, within specified tolerances, and minimizes deflection.

Bench or Laboratory Hydraulic Press--A smaller sized hydraulic press suitable for research and development, prototyping, or laboratory use.

Vacuum Press--A hydraulic press with vacuum enclosed platen working areas to remove air, gas vapors, and fumes during the forming process. A vacuum style hydraulic press ensures consistent material flows, as well as precise control over temperature and pressure.

Window Frame Hydraulic Press--A hydraulic press with a large open feed area, or window, designed especially for larger dies, or where access to work area is important. A window style hydraulic press offers minimal deflection and optimal crosshead parallelism.
