SCHMIDT® ManualPress Rack-and-Pinion Presses
Hand lever presses from 1.6 kN to 2.5 kN, constant force over the entire stroke
Especially for small series, a manual workstation with mechanical presses is often the most economical solution. To help you achieve your production goals, we have continuously developed the hand lever presses. Do you need force over a longer stroke distance for assembly processes? Then SCHMIDT® Rack-and Pinion Presses are the right choice.
Features
- Long stroke
- Linear force progression
- Precise adjustment of the press depth via an integrated hardened adjustable stop
- Honed ram guide and ground rams ensure long service life and precise guidance

Rack-and-Pinion Presses 5
Nominal force 1.6 kN

Rack-and-Pinion Presses 3 and 6
Nominal force 2.4 kN

Rack-and-Pinion Presses 1 and 2
Nominal force 2.5 kN

Improved return stroke mechanism for rack-and-pinion-presses No. 3 and 6 with stroke 100 mm and 160 mm
The use of a spring package optimized specifically for large strokes improves ergonomics significantly. In addition, the use of the Ergohandle ensures that even with angles of rotation > 360° no hand position switching of is necessary. The force feedback on the hand lever is kept as constant as possible over the entire stroke by a balance weight.

Press Head
No. 1 and No. 2 have a ground guidance plate and Teflon-coated adjustable gibs for precise and torsion-proof guidance.
