Bernardo HWP 160 – Hydraulic press with sliding cylinder

Bernardo HWP 160 – Hydraulic Press with Sliding Cylinder

The Bernardo HWP 160 hydraulic press is designed for professional applications and heavy-duty workshop tasks. With a pressing force of 160 tons and a piston stroke of 400 mm, it offers high performance in assembly, straightening, load testing, and part inspection. The laterally sliding cylinder and the height-adjustable table, managed by a chain and hydraulic cylinder, provide great flexibility. The piston can be operated manually with a lever or via a sensitive hydraulic pump, allowing stops in any position. Fast forward (7.48 mm/sec) and return (9.35 mm/sec) speeds ensure efficiency, while the welded steel box-section frame guarantees stability and robustness. Equipped with a pressure gauge, overload valve, and prism supports, the HWP 160 is a powerful, reliable, and indispensable press for mechanical workshops and industrial maintenance departments.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

The HWP series is the workshop hydraulic column press: compact steel structure, top-sliding cylinder. With HWP 30t, it is suitable for bearing assembly/disassembly, shaft straightening, and crimping operations in mechanical workshops and industrial maintenance.

Does the HWP 30t force apply even at the minimum piston stroke?

The nominal force HWP 30t is the maximum force developed at the maximum pressure of the hydraulic system. At the beginning of the stroke (piston at the top dead center), the force is the same – it is constant throughout the entire useful stroke. The included pressure gauge shows the pressure in bars: multiplying by the piston area gives the actual force in kN or tons.

Is the pressure gauge included as standard?

Yes – all Bernardo BHP, HWP, and BRHP presses include a pressure gauge for direct reading of the applied force. Indispensable for not exceeding the resistance of 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 secured to the floor with M12/M16 bolts on standard concrete (15–20 cm). For presses over 100t, consult a structural engineer to verify the floor's capacity based on the base footprint. Customer support in Italian available.

Are spare parts and assistance available?
