Radial force on press piston

NOTICE

Radial force on the PST Press piston rod may completely damage the Press.

If the piston rod is not supported enough to withstand radial movements, the piston rod may be completely damaged or the service life and PST Press accuracy will be reduced.

For vertical installation: Assemble the press vertical on the end surface to prevent radial movement.
For horizontal installation: Use a radial support in order to keep the piston rod level.

Max allowed Press tooling weight (mass) for vertical installation
