Understanding the Basics of Shearing Machines

Shearing machines are essential in industrial production; shearing machines, as professional cutting equipment, can fulfill the cutting demands of various sizes, thicknesses, and materials.

What is a shearing machine?

A shear machine employs the blade to accomplish the up-and-down cutting movement, and the primary cutting material is metal.

Shears can be cut to the size and form you want;

When cutting material, shears create shearing force via the knife slide and act on the substance being cut.

Working Principle of a Shearing Machine

The shearing machine uses shear force to cut the material. The contact between the cutting edge and the table generates shear forces. The cutting edge is on top, while the workbench is on the bottom. The substance lies between the two devices. The cutting edge is pushed down to secure the material to the worktop. At the same time, a shearing force is created to divide the material into the desired form and dimensions.

Different Types of Shearing Machines

Hydraulic shearing machine

The hydraulic shearing tool causes the upper knife slide to push down through the hydraulic system, while the return cylinder is powered by nitrogen, causing the upper knife slide to return to the top. It is primarily used to process huge metal plates and is a metal shear machine. 

Mechanical shearing machine

Mechanical shears are the oldest form of machine, consisting mostly of a knife slide, shearing edge, worktable, transmission system, and so on. Its operating concept is to regulate the top cutting-edge downward pressure via the transmission system, and the metal plate will be cut into the desired shape. Mechanical shearing machines have a basic structure, use manual transmission, are inexpensive, have poor shear efficiency, and are ideal for processing tiny metal sheets.

Electric shearing machine

Electric shear uses an electric motor to push the upper cutting edge downward pressure, and its construction is similar to that of mechanical shear. Electric shears are simple to use and have a high shearing efficiency, making them ideal for small and medium-sized sheet metal processing.

Sheet metal cutters

It is a tool for manually cutting metal materials, with a wide range of options, designed to meet the basic cutting requirements of people’s everyday lives and manufacturing. And Can cut through iron, paper, plastic, wood, and other materials.
