The present invention discloses a special hydraulic press for bulging pressing forming of an automobile axle housing and a pressing forming method. A hydraulic press body is a closed frame consisting of an upper cross beam, a lower cross beam, four stand columns I, II, III, and IV, four vertical pull rods I, II, III, and IV, and four transverse pull rods I, II, III, and IV, and is used for balancing a deformation force up to 3000 T in the vertical direction or the horizontal direction in the pressing forming process. During pressing forming, the downward speeds of a main hydraulic cylinder, small left and right vertical hydraulic cylinders are precisely controlled to prevent the left end, the right end and the middle of the tube blank from bending.

Embodiments provide methods and apparatus for manufacturing a microtablet from a precursor material such as a pharmaceutical powder. Various embodiments provide a method which includes compressing the powder to form a compressed mass of a selected density and repeatedly compacting the compressed mass to increase the density of the compressed mass and form a microtablet. Related methods and apparatus are provided.

A self-centering device for a liner press-fit wheel may improve center alignment when liners are pressed in bolt holes of the wheel, may reduce rejects generated when bolt hole materials are pressed out by alignment failures, and may improve a press-fit yield.

The invention relates to a die for arrangement in a press, wherein the die extends along an axial direction between two end faces and forms an inner peripheral surface between the end faces, wherein the die extends from the inner peripheral surface along a radial direction toward an outer peripheral surface and toward at least one centering surface that is disposed in the radial direction on a first diameter, wherein the die has a pressing zone that is spaced apart from the end faces and, in the vicinity of the pressing zone, the die has a greater maximum first stiffness, at least relative to zones of the die that are arranged on the end faces, compared to a pressing force acting on the inner peripheral surface in a direction of a normal vector, and wherein the maximum first stiffness is at least 10% greater than a minimum second stiffness that is present in at least one zone that is arranged on one of the end faces.

A press for waste has an actuator (42) that moves a ram (40) in a chamber (30). The actuator and the ram are connected by a fastening system (100). The fastening system allows the ram to be displaced in a direction perpendicular to the length and direction of travel of the actuator. In this way, as inner surfaces of the chamber wear the ram may adjust to the worn surfaces without applying large forces perpendicular to the length of the actuator. When the actuator moves forward, it pushes directly against the back of the ram. When the actuator moves backwards, it pulls a pin (102) that pushes on an inner surface (108) of the ram.

A toolpack for a can bodymaker with a vertically oriented, reciprocating, elongated ram assembly is provided. The toolpack includes a tool pack housing assembly, a number of die spacers, a number of dies, and a compression device. The tool pack housing assembly defines a passage and includes an inner surface, an upper sidewall, a lower sidewall, a first lateral sidewall, a second lateral sidewall, a rear sidewall, and a door. The tool pack housing assembly passage extends generally vertically. Each die spacer structured to support a die and defining a central passage. Each die including a body defining a central passage. The die spacers and dies are disposed in said tool pack housing assembly. The compression device is disposed at said tool pack housing assembly lower sidewall and is structured to axially bias said number of die spacers.
