ABSTRACT
Fabrication of a hydraulic press machine is the aim of this construction work and is a machine used in the workshop. A hydraulic press machines aid operators in many aspects right from fitting, bending, assembling of metal parts, removal of bearings from shafts, dismantling and fixing of equipment during assembly and servicing. The machine brings the concept of hydraulic systems closer to students that are pursuing engineering-related courses. This reviews the literature of existing hydraulic press machines, the principle involved, and the rationale behind this invention. Because of its being common and having high strength. Mild steel was used as the major material for the construction of different components of the press machine. The hydraulic press machine consists of a hydraulic jack, a stand, columns, movable base, spindle, locking pins, cylinders, supporting rods, tension springs, release valves, and a structural frame that was fabricated and formed. The methods applied in the fabrication of the machine are marking out, cutting, bending, assembling, and welding of parts together using electric arc welding. The machine was tested in the removal of bearing from a casing without any damage to the case using less effort.
