How To Compute Tonnage Requirements in Hydraulic Press

This document provides guidelines for calculating the tonnage requirements for various metalworking operations using common formulas: 1. To determine tonnage for general pressing, multiply the pressure per square inch by the area and divide by 2000. 2. For press fits, a formula uses diameter, length, interference, and a pressure factor to calculate tonnage. 3. Punching tonnage can be estimated by multiplying diameter, thickness, and a constant (40 for steel, 20 for brass). Guidelines are also given for deep drawing, straightening, and determining strokes per minute for hydraulic presses. Engineering consultation is recommended for specific requirements.

How to compute tonnage requirements:

1. General - When pressure per square inch is known:


psi x area of work/2000 = 2 tons of ram force required
Example: Where it is known that 100 psi is needed to do a o! on a "# x $# wide piece.
100 x "# x $#/2000 = 2 tons
2. Press Fit - %o determine the force required to press fit two round pieces to&ether such as a
shaft pressed into a !ushin&' use the followin& formula:
( = ) x * x + x , x -/2
Where ( = force required in tons
) = diameter of the part to !e pressed in inches
+ = len&th of part to !e pressed in inches ./ote: the len&th of the interference fit onl0.1
, = interference in inches .usuall0 .002# to .002#1
- = pressure factor .3ee ta!le !elow1.

4. Example: ; steel shaft 2# in diameter pressed into a hole 4# lon&. %he interference fit !etween
the two diameters is .002#.
2# x 4.17 x 4# x .002# x .270/21 = 14."2 tons
7. Punching - ; quick &uide to determine tonna&e requirements for punchin& steel is:
)iameter x thickness x $0 = tons .where $0 is constant for steel. <se 2" for !rass.1
Example: ; 4# hole in .2"0# stock: 4# x .2"0# x $0 = 20 tons
(or noncircular holes' instead of the diameter' use 1/4 of the total len&th of cut.
Example: ; rectan&ular hole 7# x 2# in .2"0# stock: .7# = 2# = 7# = 2#/41 x .2"0# x $0 = 144.4
tons
". Deep Drawing - )eep-drawin& calculations can !e complex. %he press' dies' material'
radius' and part shape all ha>e !earin&. (or drawin& round shells' the followin& formula is a
simple &uide:
? x % x %s = tons
Where ? = circumference of the finished part@ % = material thickness in inches@ and
%s = tensile stren&th of the material.
2. Example: %o draw a "# diameter cup of .070# stock with a tensile stren&th of 72'000 psi would
require the followin& tonna&e:
." x 4.17121 x .070 x .72000/20001 = 17.77 tons
; 20-ton press would !e recommended

6. Straightening - %he pressure required to strai&hten a piece of metal depends on its
shape. Aelow is an approximate formula with a further definition for different shapes.
Where ( is the ram force in tons@ 2 is a constant@ < is ultimate stren&th of the material in psi@ B
is the section modulus .see !elow1@ and + is the distance !etween the strai&htenin& !locks in
inches.
Example: ; 2# diameter shaft' 1$# !etween the !locks' 100'000 psi ultimate stren&th.
How to determine strokes per minute for a hdraulic press
%he num!er of strokes per minute for a h0draulic press is determined !0 calculatin& a
separate time for each phase of the ram stroke. %he rapid ad>ance time is calculated' then
the pressin& time' .the work stroke1@ then' if there is no dwell time' the rapid return.
%he !asic formula for determinin& the len&th of time in seconds for each phase of the stroke:
Example: a h0draulic press with a 200 ,-C rapid ad>ance' 20 ,-C pressin& speed' and
200 ,-C rapid return. %he work requires a 4# ad>ance' 1# work stroke' and 7# rapid return.
20 D 2.155 = 26 c0cles per minute.
E Electrical actuation and >al>e shift time >aries dependin& on the t0pe of h0draulic circuit. Fne half
second is a reasona!le a>era&e fi&ure.
