Bernardo HWP 160-1500 – Hydraulic press with sliding cylinder

Bernardo HWP 160-1500 – Hydraulic Press with Sliding Cylinder

The Bernardo HWP 160-1500 hydraulic press is a professional, high-performance machine designed for heavy-duty assembly, straightening, load testing, and part inspection. With a pressing force of 160 tons and a working width of 1500 mm between uprights, it is suitable for large components. The piston, with a 400 mm stroke and 125 mm diameter, achieves a maximum pressure of 255 bar, ensuring power and precision. Thanks to the laterally sliding cylinder and the height-adjustable table via chain and hydraulic cylinder, the machine offers great versatility. The piston can be operated manually with a lever or via a sensitive hydraulic pump, allowing stops at any position. With a feed speed of 7.48 mm/sec and a return speed of 9.35 mm/sec, a 3.0 kW motor, and a weight of 1430 kg, the HWP 160-1500 ensures efficiency, robustness, and safety, making it indispensable in workshops and industrial 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 column-type hydraulic workshop press: compact steel structure, sliding cylinder from above. With HWP 30t, it is suitable for assembly/disassembly of bearings, 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 end of the upward travel), the force is the same – it is constant throughout the entire useful stroke. The included manometer shows the pressure in bar: multiplying by the piston area gives the effective force in kN or tons.

Is the manometer included as standard?

Yes – all Bernardo BHP, HWP, and BRHP presses include a manometer 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 fastened 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 in Italian available.

Are spare parts and assistance available?
