A linear-actuated press machine comprises a press ram with a tool, a first linear actuator having a first actuator rod, a second line actuator having a second linear actuator rod, a high-speed motor coupled to the first linear actuator for providing a high-speed condition on the press ram, a first high-torque motor coupled to the first linear actuator, and a second high-torque motor coupled to the second linear actuator. The press machine (i) advances the tool toward the part by operation of the high-speed motor associated with the first linear actuator, (ii) forms the part with the tool by simultaneous operation of the first high-torque motor associated with the first linear actuator and the second high-torque motor associated with the second linear actuator, and (iii) retracts the tool from the part by operation of the high-speed motor associated with the first linear actuator.

A press machine comprises a moveable press ram, an actuator, a first motor system, a second motor system, and a belt system. The moveable press ram holds a tool that forms a part. The actuator linearly moves the moveable press ram by use of a male-female thread mechanism. The actuator includes an actuator sprocket coupled to the male-female thread mechanism. The first motor system produces a high-force linear movement condition to the press ram, and includes a clutch coupled to a first motor and a first motor sprocket coupled to the clutch. The second motor system produces a high-speed linear movement condition to the press ram. The belt system couples the actuator sprocket, the first motor sprocket, and the second motor sprocket. The clutch allows the first motor to partially or fully disengage from rotational movement of the first sprocket when the belt is being driven by the second motor.

A spindle drive having a spindle, a spindle nut which is arranged on the spindle, a housing which surrounds the spindle nut, and an overload clutch which is arranged in the housing. The spindle nut and the housing are connected to one another via the overload clutch. The overload clutch is set up to disconnect the spindle nut from the housing in a torque-free manner if a defined overload torque which acts between the spindle nut and the housing is exceeded.
