Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

  1. What is an eccentric press?

It is a mechanical press that works with a flywheel and crank system.

  1. How is the number of connecting rods decided?

It is determined during design based on the table size.

  1. What is the nominal tonnage (force at bottom dead center)?

It depends on the stroke length and type of work to be done.

  1. What’s the main difference between eccentric and crankshaft systems?

Main selection criteria are press capacity, stroke length, and speed. Crankshaft systems are usually not preferred for strokes over 300mm.

  1. Are mechanical presses suitable for single-stroke or robotic use?

Yes, with proper design. To reduce brake wear, hydraulic brake/clutch systems are recommended.

  1. Can stroke length be adjusted on mechanical presses?

Yes. At Ales Press, all models have fully automatic stroke adjustment.

  1. What is the allowable table deflection in eccentric presses?

According to DIN 8651, it’s 1mm per 8 meters, or 0.125mm/m.

  1. How much ram tilt is allowed in eccentric presses?

Also per DIN 8651, 0.03mm per 100mm stroke.

  1. What is the noise level of an eccentric press?

Depends on the production process. Ear protection is recommended for noise over 80 dB.

  1. Can press noise be reduced?

Yes, about 20 dB reduction is possible with partial or full sound insulation.

  1. How much energy do eccentric presses consume?

Roughly half of installed power, but exact data requires a separate electric meter (offered optionally).

  1. Can energy efficiency be improved?

Yes, by using regenerative drives in motors to recover reverse forces.

  1. How much air does an eccentric press consume?

Mostly depends on the clutch system and is calculated accordingly.

  1. Is a special foundation needed for an eccentric press?

Depends on the type. Vibration isolating springs under the press reduce force and vibration transfer to the ground.

  1. How much unbalanced load is acceptable on the die?

Up to 60/40 imbalance is typically allowed depending on design.

  1. Can the press operate at maximum tonnage?

Yes, but for longer life, 80% of max capacity is recommended.

  1. Can deep drawing be done on eccentric presses?

Partially yes, depending on stroke and press specs. For deeper drawing, hydraulic presses are better.

  1. What are the main standards for building an eccentric press?

  1. Can a servo system be used in an eccentric press?

Yes, for better precision. But it’s expensive and used in special applications.

  1. Is a special road permit needed to transport the press?

Depends on size and weight. Usually required for presses over 200 tons.

  1. Can the press be controlled remotely?

Yes, with PLC and industrial PC + remote systems. Full remote use is usually limited for safety.

  1. Can the press operate without an operator?

With full automation and robots, yes — but operator supervision is still needed for safety.

  1. Can the press run without oil?

No. It needs specific oils to lubricate gears and components via a central lubrication system.

  1. How is production efficiency calculated?

Based on part cycle time, downtime, breakdown rate, and energy usage.

  1. What happens if the press doesn’t have a CE label?

It’s unsafe, cannot be sold/used legally in Europe, and poses serious risks.

  1. What should you check when buying an eccentric press?

Check tonnage, table size, stroke, speed, safety systems, energy efficiency, and service support.

  1. What is the warranty period and when does it not apply?

Typically 2 years for parts made by the manufacturer; third-party components follow their supplier’s warranty. Warranty is void if due to operator faults, unauthorized access, or lack of maintenance.

  1. Is buying a second-hand press okay?

Yes, if cost-effective — but it must pass full inspection, crack and balance tests, and safety system checks. Older machines may not meet CE requirements.

  1. What affects the press price the most?

Main factors are tonnage, table/stroke size, automation level, brake/clutch type, and brand of components.

  1. What other operations can be done besides cutting, punching, and bending?

Forming, deep drawing, flattening, etc., are also possible with special dies, depending on the press.

  1. Is certification required to operate an eccentric press?

Yes. Operators must be trained and have a Ministry of Education (MEB)-approved certificate for heavy machinery.

  1. Which industries use eccentric presses?

Automotive, white goods, HVAC, furniture fittings, electrical panels, kitchenware, and panel radiator production.
