Bernardo BRHP 250 QZ – Hydraulic Press with Movable Head

Bernardo BRHP 250 QZ – Hydraulic press with movable head

The Bernardo BRHP 250 QZ hydraulic press is a high-performance industrial model, designed for heavy-duty applications and large-scale processing. With a pressing force of 250 tons and a piston with a 400 mm stroke, it is suitable for straightening axles, shafts, inserting or removing bushings, bearings and bolts, as well as for demanding load tests. The movable head and sliding cylinder ensure maximum operational versatility, allowing precise work on different areas of the workpiece. Thanks to its welded steel structure, it guarantees stability and durability even under extreme loads. The advance (8.2 mm/sec) and return (11.8 mm/sec) speeds, combined with the 11 kW motor, ensure efficiency and continuity of work. Weighing 2650 kg, the BRHP 250 QZ is supplied as standard with a pressure gauge, adjustable table and prism supports, making it the suitable solution for workshops and industries that need a powerful and professional hydraulic press.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between the BHP, HWP and BRHP QZ series in the Bernardo press range?

The BRHP QZ series has a movable head with a cylinder on four columns (Quick Zone): the cylinder moves horizontally to position itself over any point on the table without moving the workpiece. With the BRHP 100t, it is suitable for pressing off-center parts, asymmetrical operations and operations where the workpiece cannot be centered under the fixed cylinder.

Is the BRHP 100t force also valid at the minimum piston stroke?

The nominal BRHP 100t force is the maximum force developed at the maximum hydraulic system pressure. At the beginning of the stroke (piston at the top end of its travel) the force is the same — it is constant throughout the entire useful stroke. The included pressure gauge shows the pressure in bar: multiplying by the piston area gives the effective force in kN or tons.

Is the pressure gauge included as standard?

Yes — all BHP, HWP and BRHP Bernardo presses include a pressure gauge for direct reading of the applied force. Indispensable for not exceeding the resistance of the pressed components (e.g. maximum interference of a bearing on the shaft) and for operations requiring a specific assembly force.

What foundation does it require?

Presses up to 100t are fixed to the floor with M12/M16 bolts on standard concrete (15–20 cm). For presses over 100t, check the floor's load-bearing capacity with a structural engineer based on the base footprint. Customer support available in Italian.
