Design, Analysis and Manufacturing of Hydro-pneumatic Press Machine

A Hydro-pneumatic press is a press machine utilizing both air and oil in its operation and gives higher outlet hydraulic pressure with lower inlet pneumatic pressure. In this project the press is design and manufacture for pressing sleeve bearing into the circular casting part. Casting part is thick cylinder and sleeve bearing is kind of cylindrical bearing. Two actuators are used in the press one is for vertical pressing and other is for horizontal pressing. This paper includes the concept development, design, analysis and manufacturing of press machine. Various parts of the press are modelled by using Pro-E modelling software. Structural analysis has been applied on the parts of press machine by using analyzing software ANSYS.
