The OMCN 163/W two-speed electric hydraulic press is a workshop machine designed for pressing, extraction, straightening and controlled assembly of mechanical components. Its 70 ton capacity and 3 kW motor power make it suitable for professional use in industrial maintenance, assembly departments, mechanical workshops, automotive service, machine construction and production areas where high force must be applied progressively and repeatably.

The internal constructive layout includes a special treated and chrome-plated steel cylinder ram, a motorised two-speed power unit with automatic engagement, a 3-position lever-operated distributor and a calibration valve for adjusting the power according to the operation. This configuration allows the ram to approach the workpiece quickly and then move into the working phase with better thrust control, improving productivity and safety during pressing operations.

The adjustable-height bed makes it possible to adapt the available working area to the component and to the accessories being used. The main dimensions are A= 2210 mm, B= 900 mm, C= 1755 mm, D= 880 mm, E= 1120 mm, F= 265 mm, G= 310 mm and H= 90 mm, with an indicative weight of 800 kg. Working speed is 595 mm/min, while approaching speed is 260 mm/min; this helps reduce idle time while maintaining good sensitivity when the ram reaches the component.

This press is suitable for straightening shafts after heat treatment and before grinding, removing or fitting bushings and bearings, separating or assembling interference-fit parts, carrying out thrust tests, preparing mechanical assemblies and working on metal components that require force applied on axis. The standard pressure gauge allows the operator to monitor force during the operation and helps prevent overloads, unwanted deformation or uncontrolled pressing.

A practical workshop recommendation is to prepare the workpiece with clean, parallel and well-centred supports in relation to the ram axis, avoiding improvised spacers or non-flat surfaces. For straightening operations, force should be applied in small increments while checking the elastic return of the material; when working with bearings and bushes, suitable sleeves, V-blocks, plates and supports should be used to distribute the load correctly. Dedicated compatible accessories are recommended to make full use of the press for assembly, disassembly and straightening tasks.
