How Metal Shears Cut Through Thick Metal
Hydraulic-driven metal shears generate immense cutting forces, typically ranging from several hundred to thousands of tons.
• Industrial-grade shears can cut through steel plates several inches thick
• High-pressure hydraulic cylinders transfer force efficiently
• Enables cutting of high-tensile strength metals
Blades are crafted from high-strength alloy steels (tool steels or high-carbon, high-chromium steels) for durability.
• Exceptional wear resistance and hardness
• Precision edge geometry reduces required cutting force
• Maintains sharpness through extended use
• Optimized blade angle for thick metal penetration
The machine frame is constructed from heavy-duty materials to withstand cutting forces without deformation.
• Thick-walled steel or cast iron construction
• Adjustable blade clearance for different metal thicknesses
• Prevents frame flexing during operation
• Ensures cutting accuracy and consistency
