Bernardo BHP 50 – Hydraulic Press with Sliding Cylinder
The Bernardo BHP 50 hydraulic press is a robust and versatile machine, designed for professional applications in workshops and industrial settings. With a pressing force of 50 tons and a piston stroke of 400 mm, it allows for precise and reliable operations such as shaft straightening, mounting and dismounting bushings, bearings, and bolts. The laterally sliding cylinder and height-adjustable work table ensure flexibility and adaptability to various operational needs. Equipped with an integrated pressure gauge for pressure control, an overload valve, and included prism supports, the BHP 50 is a compact yet powerful hydraulic press. With an advance speed of 9.3 mm/sec, a return speed of 13.1 mm/sec, and a 2.2 kW motor, it offers an excellent combination of efficiency and reliability. The welded box-section steel structure ensures long durability and stability.

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.
Does the BHP 100t force apply even 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 end of its travel), 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 kind of foundation is required?
Presses up to 100t are fastened 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 days shipping. Customer support in Italian available.
