  • Patent number: 10670052
    Abstract: A double-rod ram (1), preferably for an extruder, comprising an outer cylinder (10), an inner cylinder (20) installed therein and arranged concentrically therewith, a double-acting work piston (41) provided in the inner cylinder to be displaceable and a bypass device (50) with at least one bypass valve (52), wherein the work piston (41) divides the inner cylinder (20) into two compartments (42) and can be loaded with a hydraulic fluid from both compartments (42), wherein the bypass device (50) is so arranged that in a bypass position of the bypass valve (52) a fluid connection between the two compartments (42) is formed by a direct connection, preferably at least one bypass line, and in a work position of the bypass valve (52) no such fluid connection is present.

  • Publication number: 20200038928
    Abstract: A bar and tube extruding press for thrilling metal ingots into profiles, tubes, bars or the like includes a male die and a female die, through which a metal ingot can be pressed by the male die a container, and a driving device, in which the driving device has at least one main cylinder tor applying the main pressing force of the male die to the metal ingots, characterized in that on the one hand the driving device having at least one speed-controlled internal gear pump for providing the hydraulic oil to the at least one main cylinder, with which the at least one main cylinder can be driven, and at least one hydraulic advance and/or return cylinder for moving the male die in relation to the female die or at least one electrical drive for moving the male die in relation to the female die and with which the male die can be moved into a position in which the speed-controlled internal gear pump only then interacts with the at least one main cylinder in such a way that the main pressing force is applied to the mal

  • Patent number: 9649680
    Abstract: The invention relates to extrusion and pipe presses (1), comprising a press frame consisting of a cylindrical spar (2) and a counter spar (4) connected thereto, in which a mobile billet container holder (7) supporting a billet container (8), which puts a billet (18) to be pressed, which was introduced by a loading device, into a press position in front of the counter spar (4) with the associated tool (38), and a mobile punch crosshead (6) are provided. In the cylindrical spar (2), a main cylinder, or press cylinder, is arranged, which in the cylinder housing (9) thereof receives a press piston (11), which at the front end thereof that is supported by the punch crosshead (6) is connected to a press punch (19). A compensation tank (15), which delivers hydraulic oil to the press piston (11) by way of a slider plate (28), is assigned to a main cylinder housing (9) connected to a tank line.
