Bernardo BHP 80 – Hydraulic Press with Sliding Cylinder
The Bernardo BHP 80 hydraulic press is a professional machine designed for power, precision, and reliability in workshops and industrial settings. With a pressing force of 80 tons and a piston stroke of 400 mm, it is suitable for straightening axles, shafts, and for inserting and removing bushings, bearings, and bolts. The laterally sliding cylinder and height-adjustable work table ensure great versatility in operations. The robust welded box steel structure ensures stability and long life, while the feed (8.8 mm/sec) and return (11.3 mm/sec) speeds allow for efficient work. With a 3.0 kW motor and a weight of 785 kg, the BHP 80 is the reliable and professional choice for workshops, maintenance departments, and companies requiring a powerful and high-quality 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.
Does the BHP 100t force apply even at the minimum piston stroke?
The nominal BHP 100t force is the maximum force developed at the maximum hydraulic system pressure. At the beginning of the stroke (piston at top dead center) the force is the same — it is constant along the entire useful stroke. The included pressure gauge shows the pressure in bar: by multiplying by the piston area, the actual force in kN or tons is obtained.
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 is required?
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 available in Italian.
Are spare parts and assistance available?
Original spare parts available with 3–5 working days shipping. Customer support available in Italian.
