Bernardo WK 50 FH Pro – Professional 50-Ton Workshop Press
The Bernardo WK 50 FH Pro is a professional workshop press with a pressing force of 50 tons, suitable for heavy-duty straightening, pressing, bending, and assembling of mechanical components. It features a laterally movable cylinder (245 mm) and automatic piston return via an integrated spring. Thanks to the self-regulating hydraulics, piston advancement is smooth and effortless. The work table adjustment is simplified by the integrated winch, which allows for quick adaptation to various operational needs. The standard foot pedal leaves your hands free for positioning workpieces, while the option of using an optional set of pressure pins (10 pcs.) further expands its application possibilities. With a welded high-strength steel structure and a weight of 291 kg, the WK 50 FH Pro is the powerful and durable choice for professional workshops and maintenance departments.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between WK (manual) and PWK (pneumatic)?
WK presses have manual hydraulic operation — the operator pumps the lever to pressurize the cylinder. PWK presses are air-powered at 6–8 bar: the piston automatically descends by pressing the pedal, with constant speed and force regardless of the operator. PWK presses are more productive for repetitive serial operations; WK presses are more economical and do not require a pneumatic system.
Can the WK / PWK press press bearings and bushings?
Yes. This is the main operation they are designed for: inserting and removing bearings, bushings, plain bearings, pins, and inserts. With the correct force (calculated based on the diameter and interference fit), the operation is safe and precise. For H7/p6 fits on steel: force ≈ 1–3 kN per mm of diameter.
Is the manometer included as standard?
Yes — all Bernardo WK and PWK presses include a manometer for direct reading of the applied force in tons. Essential for not exceeding the maximum coupling force and avoiding damage to pressed components.
Are spare parts available?
Original Bernardo spare parts (seals, valves, manometers) available with 3–5 business days shipping. Customer support available in Italian.
What foundation is required?
WK and PWK presses do not require a special foundation — a standard industrial floor (15–20 cm concrete) is sufficient. Versions up to 50T are fixed to the floor with standard M12 bolts.
