Imagine taking a pair of scissors in your hand and cutting a tablet of paper. What happens? If you have enough strength to cut thru a tablet of paper, the pages are distorted. The actual amount of pressure at the tip of the scissors is going to be lower than the initial pressure applied. The actual pressure is 100% beginning the cut, 50% halfway thru and as low as 30% at the tip of the scissors.
A Uni-Hydro Plate Shear begins a cut at 100%, has a gain to 107% halfway thru and completes the cut at 115%. How is this possible?
The Uni-Hydro patented mechanical linkage system.
This system provides you a gain in power performance
Single cylinder design
Built for forklift handling or lifting with overhead eyelet’s
Cylinder is center mounted on the blade and uses pivot arms to transfer energy to three pressure points
Independent hydraulic hold-down
36” Front operated manual back gauge, 24” squaring arm
Excellent visibility of cut
Electric Controls including foot switch
Even distribution of energy across the blade avoids “flexing” of the blade
Minimal adjustments of blade gap when switching from thin to thick material
