Bernardo WK 10 TH – Workshop Press
The Bernardo WK 10 TH is a compact workshop press, suitable for straightening, bending, press-fitting, and inserting and removing bushes, bearings, and bushings. With a pressing force of 10 tons and a welded steel structure, it guarantees robustness, reliability, and long life. The machine features automatic piston return, a pressure gauge for easy pressure reading, and a height-adjustable work table via locking pins. Its solid construction and low weight make it suitable for mechanical workshops, maintenance labs, and use in small production departments. Compact in size yet powerful, the WK 10 TH is a functional solution for professional workshop tasks.

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 operated by compressed air 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 series operations; WK presses are more economical and do not require a pneumatic system.
Can the WK / PWK press bearings and bushings?
Yes. This is the main operation for which they are designed: inserting and removing bearings, bushings, sleeves, pins, and inserts. With the correct force (calculated based on the diameter and interference of the fit), the operation is safe and precise. For H7/p6 fits on steel: force ≈ 1–3 kN per mm of diameter.
Is the pressure gauge included as standard?
Yes — all Bernardo WK and PWK presses include a pressure gauge for direct reading of the applied force in tons. Essential for not exceeding the maximum force of the fit and avoiding damage to the pressed components.
Are spare parts available?
Original Bernardo spare parts (seals, valves, pressure gauges) are available with 3–5 business day shipping. Customer support is 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.
