Press Brake Hydraulic Circuit – Core of The Hydraulic Bending System
Product Description
Press Brake Hydraulic Circuit – Core of the Hydraulic Bending System
The hydraulic circuit is the interconnected network of components in a press brake that enables precise hydraulic transmission. It includes the hydraulic pump, cylinders, valves, and reservoir, working together to generate, regulate, and direct hydraulic energy to bend metal sheets with high force and accuracy.
Primary Functions of the Hydraulic Circuit
Energy Conversion: Transforms electrical/mechanical energy into hydraulic energy via the pump.
Force Transmission: Delivers hydraulic pressure to the ram (slide) through cylinders.
Flow Direction Control: Ensures precise timing and movement through control valves.
Pressure Regulation: Maintains safe and consistent system pressure during operation.
Energy Recovery: In modern systems, unused oil can be redirected or recovered for efficiency.
⚙️ Main Components in the Hydraulic Circuit
Hydraulic Pump – Generates flow; typically gear, vane, or piston type.
Hydraulic Cylinder – Converts fluid pressure into mechanical motion (moves ram).
Directional Control Valves – Direct the flow of oil to various parts.
Pressure Relief Valves – Prevent overpressure by releasing excess oil.
Flow Control Valves – Adjust the speed of cylinder movement.
Reservoir (Tank) – Stores, cools, and filters hydraulic oil.
Filters & Cooling Units – Ensure clean and thermally stable oil for system longevity.
Hydraulic Lines & Fittings – High-pressure pipes, hoses, and connectors.
Types of Hydraulic Circuits in Press Brakes
Conventional Hydraulic System
Widely used, based on synchronous movement of left/right cylinders using mechanical balancing.Electro-Hydraulic Synchronous System
Features proportional valves and linear encoders for real-time correction and parallelism.Servo-Hydraulic System (Hybrid)
Uses servo motor-driven pump systems for energy savings and silent operation.
