BASANT Mechanical Works' Friction Screw Presses deliver powerful impact energy through a friction-driven flywheel and vertical screw mechanism. Unlike mechanical presses, friction screw presses do not have a fixed bottom dead center — the energy stored in the flywheel is transferred entirely to the workpiece, making them exceptionally versatile for both hot and cold forging, coining, and precision forming of a wide range of metals.
Key Specifications
Press energy is determined by flywheel speed — allows variable energy delivery per stroke for multi-blow forging sequences.
The screw mechanism automatically arrests at the die contact point, making the press self-adapting to workpiece height variations.
Heat-treated alloy steel screw and bronze nut assembly for long service life under heavy forging impacts.
Friction disc engagement enables controlled forward and reverse rotation for precise stroke energy metering.
Monolithic cast steel frame absorbs and dissipates forging shock loads without frame fatigue.
Simple, open die setup reduces tooling complexity and cost compared to mechanical eccentric presses.
