Abstract
A new procedure is proposed for measuring press stiffness, including separated horizontal and vertical
loading of the press frame. The load can be eccentrically positioned for measuring rotational stiffnesses.
Two loading devices and corresponding measuring equipment for registration of press deflections are
designed. The press stiffness is presented as a 6 by 6 flexibility matrix. The approach has been tested by
measuring the stiffness of a 5000 kN O-frame, ring element, hydraulic press, a 10000 kN O-frame, pillar
element, hydraulic press and a 10000 kN O-frame, ring element mechanical press. Deflections in the size
of 0.5 mm were identified.
