Hydraulic Press Plans – 50 to 100 Ton

Hydraulic press plans for workshop fabrication: a 50-ton press with an FEA-checked frame, a 60-ton heated platen press and a 100-ton press with locking pins. Each project is a downloadable CAD package: an editable 3D assembly plus, depending on the package you choose, 2D production drawings and a bill of materials.

Workshop Hydraulic Press Plans: 50, 60 and 100 Tons

The three shop press plans cover different jobs. The 50-ton hydraulic press plans describe a manual workshop press with a hand-crank winch and a hydraulic power unit, and come with a Nastran FEA report for the frame. The 60-ton heated platen press has upper and lower platens for pressing work that needs heat. The 100-ton hydraulic press plans are the heavy option for bending, straightening and bearing work, with the cylinder and locking pins modeled in full.

Hydraulic Press Drawings for Fabrication

The 2D packages contain dimensioned DWG and hydraulic press drawing PDF sets: frame weldments, cross-members, pin and plate details and the cylinder mounting. They are prepared for cutting, drilling and welding, so a fabrication shop can quote and build from them directly.

Hydraulic Press 3D Model in Inventor and STEP

Every project is built as a native Autodesk Inventor assembly, and the hydraulic press CAD model is also exported to STEP for Fusion 360, SolidWorks, FreeCAD and other systems. Use the 3D model to check the working height, the opening between the columns and the cylinder stroke, or to adapt the frame to the steel sections you can source locally.

Hydraulic Press Design Checked with FEA

The frame of a press carries the full cylinder force on every stroke, so the design of the hydraulic press frame matters more than any other part of the build. The 50-ton project includes a Nastran FEA report showing how the frame behaves under load, which is useful both as a check of this design and as a reference if you change the dimensions.

What Every Hydraulic Press CAD Package Includes

All projects are instant digital downloads, usually in package tiers:

  • 3D package: native Autodesk Inventor assemblies plus STEP for other CAD systems.
  • 2D package: dimensioned DWG and PDF production drawings.
  • Full Pro Pack: the complete 3D + 2D set with the bill of materials.

Package contents differ between projects, and each product page lists exactly which files are included. The rated forces describe the original design; use certified hydraulic components, fit guarding, and have any press you build checked and tested under the machinery safety rules that apply where you use it.
