ARBOR PRESS
Introduction:
An Arbor Press is a small yet powerful manual press machine used for precision work such as staking, riveting, installing, configuring, and removing bearings and other press-fit work. It operates using a hand-operated lever or wheel, applying mechanical force through a gear-driven ram or plunger. Arbor presses are widely used in various industries where compact size, control, and accuracy are required.
Dishaa Machinery & Tools supplies high-quality arbor presses to support industries like automotive, aerospace, fabrication, electronics, and metalworking. Our industrial-grade arbor presses are engineered for durability, smooth operation, and precise control over pressing operations. These machines play a crucial role in the assembly line by allowing workers to exert the necessary force without using hydraulic or pneumatic systems. The Arbor Press pairs well with Punching Machines for high-accuracy jobs.
Arbor presses come in various tonnage capacities (typically 1 to 5 tons) and are built from heavy-duty cast iron or steel to withstand daily industrial use. Their simple yet effective mechanism makes them ideal for manual press applications and prototyping environments. Whether used for broaching, pressing bearings, or metal marking, arbor presses deliver consistent results with minimum maintenance. Their cost-efficiency and easy-to-operate mechanism make them a preferred choice in workshops and factories.
An arbor press is a small yet powerful manual press used for precise pressing operations in industrial workshops. Commonly made from durable cast iron, it’s designed for applying controlled force in tasks like staking, riveting, broaching, and light assembly work. Arbor presses are especially popular in tool rooms, metalworking shops, and manufacturing units where compact, accurate pressing is required.
