The Roper Whitney Pexto PH-52 power squaring shear features compact, fully-integrated, hydraulically powered units that are ideal for many light gauge shearing applications. The shear offers triple-action shearing which includes relief on both edges of both the fixed and moving blades. The blade design eliminates blade-to-blade friction, provides “bite” to minimize sheet movement under shearing stress and produces double penetration in the cutting action. This shear will handle a 52″ sheet and has a maximum rated capacity of 16 gauge for mild steel.
Standard Features
- Fully enclosed control panel, with magnetic starter, selector switch and relays
- Single or continuous stroke operation.
- Heavy duty foot switch. If released anywhere in the stroke, crosshead returns to “up” position.
- Pressure relief valve to prevent overloading.
- Electric solenoid hydraulic valve for instantaneous response.
- Dial stroke control – accessible adjustment with stroke length indicator.
- Hydraulic power uniformly applied through double-acting cylinders.
