Comprehensive application expertise for path-controlled machines

Mechanical presses

Mechanical presses, such as automotive presses or C-frame presses, usually have hydraulically-actuated clutch-brake combinations. This requires press safety valves in addition to a reliable pressure and cooling oil supply. The press is protected against improper overload by (electro-)hydraulic overload protection. In addition, die cushion axes make an essential contribution to the component quality of the drawn parts by controlling the flow of material. HYDAC is your competent local contact for all of these applications. With global service.

Servo presses

Servo presses are characterised by their direct drive. This is made possible by replacing the clutch and the mechanically-driven flywheel with a servo motor. These press drives must be cooled and monitored with suitable braking devices to ensure efficient use. (Electro-) hydraulic overload protection reliably protects against mechanical overload of the press frame. Get to know our broad product and service portfolio for press technology - we have the right solution for any application.

Functional safety

Reliably at your side - the safety of your mechanical high-performance presses and servo presses is of the utmost relevance for efficient operation of your machines and systems. That's why we support you in-person on site and offer you the optimal solution for your application, from the component to the system. With HYDAC, you're always in good hands.
