Bernardo BHP 30 – Hydraulic press with movable cylinder
The Bernardo BHP 30 hydraulic press is a compact and robust machine, suitable for workshops and maintenance departments. With a pressing force of 30 tons and a piston with a 300 mm stroke, it is perfect for straightening axles and shafts, and inserting and removing bushings, bearings, and bolts. The laterally movable cylinder and height-adjustable work table ensure great versatility, easily adapting to different processes. The welded box-section steel structure ensures stability and long life, while the feed (10 mm/sec) and return (18 mm/sec) speeds allow for quick work. Equipped with an integrated pressure gauge, overload valve, and prism supports included, the BHP 30 is the reliable and professional choice for those looking for a quality hydraulic press in a compact format.

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 movable 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.
Does the BHP 100t force also apply at the minimum piston stroke?
The nominal force BHP 100t is the maximum force developed at the maximum hydraulic system pressure. At the beginning of the stroke (piston at the end of the high stroke) 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. 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 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 with a structural engineer for the floor's load-bearing capacity based on the base footprint. Customer support in Italian available.
Are spare parts and assistance available?
Original spare parts available with 3–5 working day shipping. Customer support in Italian available.
