Designed for Heavy Continuous Industrial Applications

These precision-built FAMCO air presses are ideal for your delicate assembly work or specialty stamping operations. A frictionless diaphragm-type air cylinder with a spring return produces exacting force day after day. No motors, transmissions or other annoying, noisy mechanisms to slow or hamper the performance of your operators. During the work stroke, only a “whisper” of a sound can be heard.

A large working surface accommodates practically all sizes of stampings. Bolster mounting holes are provided for quick adaptation of dies.

Choose from four sizes of single-acting presses, with a variety of control options to fit your requirements.



1/2- to 3-1/2-ton capacities.

All fabricated steel frames plus double-acting air cylinders make these presses adaptable to your exact requirements. Select from a wide variety of frame sizes, with a choice of throat depth and open height. Ram stroke is also varied to meet your requirements.

The double rod end on the heavy-duty air cylinder allows for stroke adjustment from 0 to the maximum cylinder stroke. Air power on the return stroke efficiently lifts heavy die loads or accommodates stock stripping operations.

The sturdy ram housing provides a generous bearing surface for the large, round ram, which is keyed to prevent rotation. Lubricator, filter, gage and mufflers are furnished as standard equipment on all control models.

1 through 5 ton capacities.



Controls and accessories to meet your production requirements

• INTERVAL TIMER: Allows for time to dwell at either the bottom or top of the stroke. Available in maximum time cycles of 5, 15, 30 and 60 seconds or minutes. Infinitely variable from zero to the maximum cycle of the particular timer. It is necessary to specify when a time cycle is required.
• REPEAT CYCLE TIMER: Allows for separate time and dwells both at the bottom and top of the stroke. The time dwells may be individually cycled at the top and bottom of the stroke within the maximum range of the timer. For example, the time dwell may be set for 3 seconds at the top of the stroke and 5 seconds at the bottom of the stroke. Once set and started, the press is fully automatic and requires no further attention. Available in maximum time cycles of 3, 5, 15, 30 and 60 seconds or minutes. It is necessary to specify the time cycle required.
• DOUBLE ELECTRIC (DE) CONTROL: Two push-buttons must be operated to activate the solenoid air valve for downward movement of the ram. When contact with both pushbuttons is maintained through a full stroke, Ram will stay down until one or both pushbuttons are released. Ram then immediately returns to the original starting position.
• Pressure control: There are jobs where applied force is the most important factor. The pressure limit system has been designed to provide a controlled maximum ram pressure and the automatic return of the ram after the pressure has been reached. Adjustment of the pressure limit switch is possible in a range of 5 psi to 150 psi. May be added later to press, or may be specified on the original order.
• SPEED CONTROL VALVE: The speed control valve is available for all FAMCO Air Presses. It meters the air intake and thus regulates the speed of the lam on the down stroke. The regulation of the ram speed can range from zero to the maximum speed of the press. This simple, efficient speed control valve has proven to be a great asset to all air presses on which it has been installed.
