Conway Hydraulic Press - C Series (15/20 Ton Press)

Combines all the advantages of a hydraulic press with the speed of a flywheel press.

The cylinder's piston-ram is the only load carrying moving part! There is no flywheel, clutch brake or crankshaft. Shut height and stroke are adjustable and easily set. Stalling the press causes no damage. Its quiet, fast cycling capability comes from Conway's patented, dual-speed cylinder.

Features:

  1. Dual speed cylinder with high speed extend and retract.
  2. 4 inch stroke, fully adjustable within 9 inch cylinder travel.
  3. Open frame design allows unlimited part length both front-to-rear and side-to-side.
  4. Welded steel frame for maximum rigidity and minimum deflection.
  5. Easily adjustable ram shut-height.
  6. Instant ram return when closing signal is broken.
  7. Change setup in only a few minutes.
  8. Rapid, long-life spring return with over-travel protection.
  9. Bench or stand mountable.
  10. Low maintenance & low power consumption.
  11. Durable, easily accessible, and serviceable with 4.5 gallon oil reservoir with minimum heat rise. Environmentally friendly with less oil in use.
  12. Heavy, 2 inch thick top and bottom plates.
  13. Ample conveyor clearance under press.
  14. 2 Year Warranty against manufacturer's defects
Choosing a C-Series Model
The Conway Press C-Series is available in (3) models (C-15-C, C-20-C and C-20-C+) varying in stroke speed, tonnage capacity, and AC power requirements, etc. Please consult the comparison table below for detailed specifications and model differences.

Try our online Press Stroke Calculator and Tonnage Calculator to help determine the best press to meet your needs. By entering the Advance and Return stroke distances, the calculator will compute the theoretical strokes/minute for each of the C-Series models.
