Difference between mechanical press and hydraulic press

1. The concept of mechanical press and hydraulic press
A mechanical press is a machine tool that can perform pressing, punching and shearing on metal materials. Its working principle is to use a motor to drive a cam to achieve pressure transmission, thereby achieving processing. A hydraulic press is a mechanical device that uses oil to convert energy and realizes processing through hydraulic transmission.
2. The difference between a mechanical press and a hydraulic press
1. Different structures
The structure of a mechanical press is relatively simple, mainly composed of a drive device, a cam, a slider, a workbench, etc.; while a hydraulic press requires accessories such as an oil pump, a hydraulic cylinder, and a hydraulic control valve, and the structure is more complex.
2. Different prices
Because the mechanical press has a simple structure and low manufacturing cost, the price is relatively cheap; while the hydraulic press has a complex structure and requires a variety of accessories, so the price is higher.
3. Different precision
The mechanical press has relatively low precision and is suitable for some simple processing; while the hydraulic press has higher precision and processing capacity, and is suitable for some complex processing.
4. Different scope of use
Because mechanical presses have low manufacturing costs, simple structures, and easy maintenance, they are suitable for some simple processing operations; while hydraulic presses are suitable for some operations that require higher processing accuracy and complex processing.
