Bernardo BHP 250 – Hydraulic press with sliding cylinder
The Bernardo BHP 250 hydraulic press is a high-performance professional machine, designed for industrial applications and heavy-duty work. With a pressing force of 250 tons and a piston stroke of 400 mm, it is suitable for straightening axles, shafts, inserting or removing bushings, bearings, bolts, and much more. The laterally sliding cylinder and the height-adjustable work table allow for maximum operational flexibility. Thanks to a robust welded steel box-section structure, it ensures stability and long life even under extreme loads. It is equipped with an integrated pressure gauge, overload valve, and includes prism supports. The advance (8.5 mm/sec) and return (10.8 mm/sec) speeds make the BHP 250 efficient and productive, while the 7.5 kW motor ensures constant power. Perfect for mechanical workshops and industries that need a powerful, versatile, and safe hydraulic press.

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 BHP 100t 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.
Is the BHP 100t force also valid at the minimum piston stroke?
The nominal force BHP 100t 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 bar: multiplying by the piston area gives the effective 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 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, verify the floor's capacity with a structural engineer based on the base footprint. Customer support in Italian available.
Are spare parts and assistance available?
Original spare parts available with 3–5 business days shipping. Customer support in Italian available.
