Homemade Hydraulic FORGING Press - EXTREME POWER!! 💪
Рет қаралды 275,875
Күн бұрынHope yall like my homemade hydraulic forging press! I originally made this H-frame hydraulic press based off of Ron "Bowie" Claiborne's design back in 2006. This is a mix between a rebuild and a restoration; so I hope yall like it!
It should be noted that these plans are for educational purposes only... They have not been evaluated by a structural engineer. Use these plans and build a press at your own risk.

There is a big difference in HP between an internal combustion engine, and an electric motor. I converted my gas powered log splitter to electric(to use it indoors), and educated myself on this subject pretty well. As a general rule you can use an electric motor with half the HP of gas… I used a 2hp 1750rpm electric motor to replace my 6hp gas and am actually still well within rated range requirements by the pump. Reason being is the torque rating on the electric motor is far greater, and it’s instantaneous! Nice job on the press, I’m building myself one also!

Yes. You can look up online calculaters that convert hydraulic, electric motor and gasoline engines. Once a fuel engine starts bogging down it loses power instantly. An electric motor can twist even at a stall condition.
@edwardlance2379 2 жыл бұрын
Also, induction electric motors will happily draw more amperage under load to output more power than what it's rated for. It's important, however, to understand that you can't run it this way continuously or you'll burn it up. The "rated" power is the output it will run at continuously without overheating. In applications where the motor is stressed intermittently, such as a press, it will work fine. The reason they will make more power has to do with how an induction motor works. With no load, the system experiences a high feedback in the system. This serves to lessen amperage draw in order to run at the rated RPM. Induction motors are "synchronous" in nature, meaning they want to run at the RPM it was designed. When you apply a load, the RPM's drop. This is known as "slip". Slip results in lessening the system feed back, thus increasing amperage draw. More amps means more power. The motor is trying to get back to its rated RPM. You can think of the feedback and slip as a "cruise control" of sorts. Just like when you have cruise turned on in your car, start up a hill, and more gas is applied by the control to maintain the same speed. Motors used in equipment that have to overcome a load at startup typically have a capacitor circuit ("capacitor start") to provide an extra jolt of power to allow it to get going under load, otherwise it might not be able to start.

Another excellent video. Thank you!! The thing about pressure gauges most people don't realize is that you never want a gauge that maxed out at the max pressure you are working at. Gauges work by bending an arm inside the gauge. The more it has to flex the more it will wear out the gauge plus a small amount of error in the reading comes into play, the more it has to flex, the greater the error will become over time. At most you want your max working pressure to be in the middle of the scale for the gauge you are using.

Great work, wonderful project and thanks for showing this off, Red!:) To contacts and grinding them: Plug contacts for the mains connection in particular have a protective coating, which is usually applied galvanically. This guarantees high mechanical strength(like abrasion resistance and impact resistance) with simultaneous protection against corrosion, which guarantees low contact resistance. This is particularly important for the protective conductor (residual current tripping, personal protection). So grinding the contacts was the worst thing you can do (In electrician circles: A crime worse than murder! Hehehe). Use either contact spray that is approved for electrical contacts and often also contains a rust remover and maybe polish very gently ... So it's better to use a new plug. It's better for life and limb :)

Loved your build and the video. Your instruction was excellent. I do need to make one comment about your rational regarding the motor and pump bases and not wanting to use shims. As a millwright and a certified vibration analyst I've seen hundreds of motor bearing failures over the years primarily due to motor shaft misalignment. The motor bearing is the weak link because of the close running tolerances. My key point here is that standard practice is that you need shims under the motor or pump feet so that you can have the ability to get the best shaft alignment possible. So for this reason I don't think intentionally eliminating shims is the best practice. Loved your build and coincidentally I just had a forge given to me so this press just became the winter project.

Fantastic video! I learned a ton and regret building our powerhammer instead of a press... but it was far cheaper.

I’ve been bedridden for about a week with pretty bad back injury. Finally healed up and I got sick now I’m sitting at home with 102° fever and I can’t sleep. Saw this video and it knocked me out right away. To the point that every time I wake up from my baby power naps I would restart the video because I wanted to see your progress with this. Awesome job looks great. Just for me please round out those corners on your rounding dies
