A manually operated, hydraulically actuated, mobile press with an adjustable pulling force from 10 to 100 kN and a stroke of up to 200 mm has been introduced by Roemheld (UK).

Supplied with a separate power and control unit, to which it is linked via electrical and hydraulic connections, the press is designed for mounting bearings and bushes from 40 to 145 mm in diameter into their seats.

Weighing 20 kg, the press has to be suspended from a load balancer or mounted on a trolley and is intended for two-handed manipulation. Two versions are available for use either horizontally or vertically. As the press is mobile, it is equally suitable for maintenance work in the field as it is for assembly operations in a factory.

Its mobility leads to a further advantage over a static press in that there is no need to disassemble, move or line up large, heavy components, as they can simply have their bearings installed or exchanged in situ.
