Bernardo BHP 100 – Hydraulic Press with Sliding Cylinder
The Bernardo BHP 100 hydraulic press is a professional-grade machine designed for heavy-duty work and industrial applications. With a pressing force of 100 tons and a piston stroke of 400 mm, it is suitable for straightening axles, shafts, and for inserting and removing bushes, bearings, and bolts. The 1000 mm clearance between uprights and the 635 mm work surface allow for handling large components. The laterally sliding cylinder and height-adjustable work surface ensure maximum operational versatility. With an advance speed of 10 mm/sec and a return speed of 14 mm/sec, the BHP 100 is a fast and efficient press. The welded box-section steel frame ensures robustness and durability, while the 4.0 kW motor provides reliable and continuous performance. Complete with a pressure gauge, overload valve, and prism supports, this press is the powerful and professional choice for workshops and industries.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between the BHP, HWP and BRHP QZ series in the Bernardo press range?
The BHP series has a sliding cylinder: the piston moves downwards while the table remains fixed. The 100t BHP force is applied from top to bottom with a wide stroke — suitable for pressing bearings onto long shafts, straightening structural elements, and vertical load tests.
Does the 100t BHP force apply even at the minimum piston stroke?
The nominal force of 100t BHP is the maximum force developed at the maximum hydraulic system pressure. At the beginning of the stroke (piston at top dead center) the force is the same — it is constant along 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. Essential 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 is required?
Presses up to 100t are fixed to the floor with M12/M16 bolts on standard concrete (15–20 cm). For presses over 100t, check with a structural engineer the load-bearing capacity of the floor based on the footprint of the base. Customer support available in Italian.
Are spare parts and assistance available?
Original spare parts available with 3–5 working days shipping. Customer support available in Italian.
