Pacific 300G16 Hydraulic Plate Shear

Heavy steel plate fabrications are used for the ram, bed, and extra deep side housings to provide maximum rigidity and resistance to deflection. Main frame members are designed to assure that each Pacific G-Series Hydraulic Plate Shear more than adequately absorbs and uniformly distributes the tremendous force inherent in plate shearing. Heavy-duty, non-binding guides maintain maximum contact with extra long, hardened steel slideways throughout the stroke. Pullbacks keep the ram guides in full contact with the slideways while the cut in in process. Pullbacks are designed to provide a constant load on the slideways and eliminate guide clearance, which could be added to the present knife clearance during the cut. The G-Series Plate Shear’s hydraulic system automatically transfers force from one cylinder to the other as the cut progresses. The smooth, full power stroke is made at a constant speed and provides a cushioned shearing action that is noiseless and shock free. This is important for longer knife life. Pacific G-Series Hydraulic Plate Shears feature complete control of all the variables of shearing. Knife clearance, rake angle, and stroke can all be quickly and easily adjusted for maximum production efficiency. In addition the two speed shearing feature provides the advantage of shearing at an increased strokes per minute.
