A press is a device for applying a large force to some object or set of objects. Typical forces are in the range of one to fifty tons. In many cases the objects are metallic. A press may be used to form an object, to make a hole in it, or to force two objects together, amongst other purposes.

If an electric motor or some other source of work other than human effort is used to drive the press then it is said to be a power press. If the press achieves the large forces required of it using, say, hydraulics then it is called an hydraulic press.

If it uses some form of mechanical gearing to achieve the large forces that it imposes on the objects being processed, and the press is powered, then it is a mechanical power press.

Probably the simplest form of mechanical press is shown in the top photograph in the article given by the link. Turning the handles at the top turns the screw which pushes the ram down onto the workpiece.

How does ship's engine works?

Turbine i.e., engine converts fuel energy to mechanical energy by means of combustion...This turbine will drive the generator shaft i.e., mechanical input and the output will be electrical power and this electrical power will feed into induction motor which will converts this electrical power to mechanical power i.e., to drive the propeller and the ship will propel. The turbine used may be gas turbine or hydraulic turbine which depends on the speed of the ship should advance.


How do you learn a mechanical machine I mean to ask what a mechanical machine consists of?

I'm guessing here. If you are asking what the parts of a machine (car) are called and what they do. It's hard to ask if the alternater is working if you don't know what an alternater is or what it does. The best way is to find someone to teach you. After that, a repair manual for the given machine and a dictionary for terms you may not be familar with. Neve hesitate to ask someone who knows more than you do for help. Most people are willing to spread their knowledge. You can learn about: * How Reciprocating engine works? * How rotory engine works? * How to transform Rotory to reciprocating and vice versa motion? You have to learn about : * slider-crank chain mechanism. * Turbine Engines * rack - pinion mechanism * fourbar mechanism Another Answer Check howstuffworks.com


What is the difference between hydraulic motors and pumps?

A hydraulic pump uses an external mechanical force to pressurize the hydraulic fluid. A hydraulic motor uses the pressurized hydraulic fluid to apply a mechanical force an external machine. See the difference between a pump and a motor.


How do mechanical press work?

a flywheel and clutch which is on the same shaft and a motor (which rotates the flywheel),also a ram(the moving assembly of press) is connected to the clutch..when motor rotates the flywheel and we apply electrical supply to the clutch..the clutch engaged with the flywheel.we get a motion into the ram.................................................................................................................................................................hun etho simple ni koi das sakda.............................


How does a diesel power plant works?

A diesel powerplant uses the diesel power cycle for energy generation. A diesel power plant is one using a diesel engine to run a generator coupled to it. A generator produces power when it rotates.
