A 4 ton ratcheting arbor press

An arbor press is a small hand operated press. It is usually used to do smaller jobs, such as staking, riveting, installing and removing bearings and other press fit work. They are usually rated by the maximum load they can apply.[1]

Design

The base is usually a cast metal. A ram provides the force; it may be square or round. The ram is usually driven by a rack and pinion setup. Higher force arbor presses have another gear reduction.[1]
