The hydraulic workshop press AppTech PH6TAT1 rated at 6 tons is designed for professional use in workshops, garages and home use. The robust H-frame construction in steel provides exceptional stability during work with pressing, bending, straightening and assembly/disassembly of components. The press is delivered complete with hydraulic bottle jack, two prismatic V-blocks for round material support and reinforced steel frame with stable legs.

The 4-level height-adjustable work table enables quick changeover between different working heights with pin-based fixing. The stroke length of 140 mm provides generous working area for bearings, bushings and other components. The built-in pressure relief valve activates automatically when the load exceeds 6 tons, protecting both press and work pieces from damage. The hydraulic system with bottle jack and 26 mm piston diameter is easily manoeuvred via the hand pump.

The included V-blocks are special tools for safe placement of cylindrical and round parts such as shafts, pipes and round bars during pressing. The H-shaped frame construction guarantees that the press stands firmly without vibrating during operation. The manganese springs ensure slow and safe return after pressing. Compact dimensions of 900 x 500 mm make the press suitable even for smaller workshop spaces.

What is a Hydraulic Workshop Press and Why Choose It?

A hydraulic workshop press is an indispensable tool for disassembly and assembly of pressed components where powerful and controlled force is required. Unlike mechanical presses, hydraulic presses provide even force transfer throughout the entire pressing process, reducing the risk of damage to sensitive parts. The hydraulic principle also enables precise force control and the ability to maintain pressing force for longer periods when needed.

The PH6TAT1 model stands out through its extended stroke length of 140 mm compared to standard presses which often have 100-110 mm stroke. This provides greater flexibility when working with deep pressings and long bushings. The 4-level height-adjustable system offers quick changeover between preset working heights without time-consuming fine adjustment. The H-frame construction provides open access from three sides which simplifies placement and handling of workpieces.

The included V-blocks are special tools often purchased separately but included here in delivery. The V-blocks hold cylindrical parts safely centred during pressing which is crucial for straight and precise results when working with shafts, bearings and bushings. The pressure relief valve is crucial for safety and prevents the press from being subjected to excessive loads that can cause permanent deformations or structural damage.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What is the advantage of 140 mm stroke on this hydraulic workshop press PH6TAT1?

The stroke length of 140 mm provides significantly greater working area compared to standard presses which often have 100-110 mm stroke. This is crucial when working with deep pressings, long bushings and bearings seated deep in housings. The longer stroke length eliminates the need for extra spacers or modifications for hard-to-reach pressing work. Combined with the 4-level height-adjustable table (55-250 mm), the press can handle both small and large components without limitations.

How are the included V-blocks used during pressing with the PH6TAT1?

The V-blocks are placed on the work table with the V-grooves facing upward to support cylindrical parts such as shafts, pipes or round bars during pressing. The prismatic V-shaped grooves automatically keep round material centred and prevent parts from rolling or shifting under pressing force. This is crucial during press-mounting of bearings onto shafts, disassembly of bushings from cylindrical cavities or straightening of bent shafts. The V-blocks are used in pairs to provide even support along the workpiece length.

What difference does the 4-level height adjustment system make in practice?

The 4-level system offers four preset working heights between 55-250 mm that lock with pins, providing faster changeover than continuously adjustable systems requiring loosening and tightening of screws. When switching between different work tasks, it takes only seconds to move the pins to the next level. The system is particularly practical in workshops where similar work operations are repeated with components in standard sizes. The four levels cover the most common working heights for passenger car bearings, motorcycle bearings and industrial bushings.
