How BTM's Air Toggle Presses Work

How THIN Air Toggle Presses Work

BTM's patented THIN Air Powered Toggle Press uses a unique rotary rectangular piston driving a toggle ram & linkage. This mechanism produces high output forces using 80 psi (5.5 bar) shop air. As the air pressure causes the piston to rotate through its arc the toggle is driven over center, multiplying the force.

The Air Powered Toggle Press develops its force in a curve. As the air pressure causes the piston to rotate through its arc, the toggle is driven over center; multiplying the force. As the ram extends, the force increases more rapidly. Maximum force is reached nearest the end of the stroke. This mechanism produces high output forces using 80 psi (5.5 bar) shop air
