Frame Bearing, Shaft and Spacer Press
Description
The PQ-23 presses frame bearings, shafts and spacers in one machine, instead of a separate station for each operation. One machine to set up, maintain and train on, and one footprint on your floor.
The frame is held in a fixture and every press is servo-controlled, so each component is positioned to ±0.2 mm with ±0.1 mm repeatability – the same result on every frame, whoever is running the machine.
Pressing parameters are stored as recipes on the HMI, so each frame model runs with the settings approved for it. OPC UA is standard and it runs below 77 dB.
- Bearings, shafts and spacers in one press. One machine for the frame pressing operations.
- The same press position every cycle. ±0.2 mm positioning and ±0.1 mm repeatability.
- The approved settings, every time. Pressing parameters stored as recipes on the HMI.
- Quiet. Below 77 dB.
- Connected from day one. OPC UA as standard: send orders to the machine and read production data back from your office systems.

Frequently asked questions
Struggling to press bearings, shafts and spacers by hand?
Automate it. The PQ-23 presses frame bearings, shafts and spacers on one machine – the operator just places the frame and the components in the feeder, and the machine does the rest, with the pressing settings stored as a recipe for each frame model.
How consistent is it press to press?
Repeatability is +/-0.1 mm with a +/-0.2 mm positioning tolerance, and every setup is stored as a recipe on the HMI – up to 80 – so the press depth is the same on Monday morning as on Friday afternoon.
Can you adapt it to our line?
Yes. We design, machine, weld and program everything in-house in Portugal, so changing a fixture, a stroke or the HMI logic for your process is engineering work rather than a special request to a factory on another continent.
Can it talk to our factory systems?
Yes. OPC UA is standard on every machine we build, not a paid option, and every machine conforms to EU Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC. If you are working toward a connected line, nothing here holds you back.
