What does tonnage mean on a press?
The tonnage rating of any press is the largest load, in tons, that the press can withstand without causing structural damage to the machine frame, slide-adjusting mechanisms, pitman (connection rods) or main gear bushings. De-rated tonnage is a term used to describe this reduction in available force.
What is a 20 ton shop press?
A shop press removes pressed-in objects, crushes things, and provides up to 20 tons of force to operate simple tools. In olden times, parts were made to be disassembled and serviced instead of thrown away. Wheel bearings, for example, were made from several different components and housed inside the brake-rotor hub.
How is press force measured?
To calculate hydraulic press force, first find piston area from piston diameter. Then multiply the pressure in psi by cylinder area in inches. Divide force in pounds by 2,000 to get force in tons.

How do I choose a forging press tonnage?
The tonnage of the screw press must be adapted to its characteristics….1）P= p/q=（64～73）F/q
- P—Screw press tonnage (KN)；
- p—Deformation force required for die forging (KN)；
- F—Forged piece together with the projected area of the flash (㎝2)；
- (64～73)—The coefficient of complex forgings is 73, and the simple forgings is 64；
