Back-Geared Press
Many manufacturing operations struggle with forming thicker materials or running complex dies using standard flywheel presses that lack the torque and control required for high-volume output. This often leads to excessive tool wear, inconsistent part quality, and costly downtime. Sangiacomo Presses Americas solves this challenge with high-performance back-geared press machines engineered for demanding industrial environments.
Our rugged C-frame designs and precision gearing deliver the power, reliability, and repeatability needed to maintain production efficiency. Backed by Italian engineering and U.S.-based support, our industrial stamping press solutions are built to keep your operation running at full capacity.
High Tonnage Stamping Press Performance You Can Count On
When your application calls for a high-tonnage stamping press, Sangiacomo delivers. Our back-geared models in the C-frame configuration are purpose-built for applications requiring significant force without sacrificing control or safety. With options up to 450 tons, these presses can accommodate everything from automotive parts to industrial brackets, appliance components, and heavy-gauge metal products.
Each unit features:
- Programmable stroke adjustment
- Centralized lubrication systems
- Vibration-dampening construction
- Integrated overload protection
Back-geared presses have a higher tonnage rating point, which means that they have more working energy available for the stamping process. They can also lower maintenance costs by reducing stress on tooling and minimizing shock during operation.
Key Benefits of Our Back-Geared Press
Sangiacomo’s back-geared press machines are known for combining torque, control, and consistency. This makes them an excellent fit for metal stamping applications where material thickness and die complexity demand slower, more forceful strokes.
Their reduced slide velocity also helps protect tooling and reduces impact shock on each cycle, which is key for extending the life of your dies and reducing maintenance intervals.
Built for Demanding Production Environments
Every Sangiacomo back-geared press is designed to stand up to industrial workloads. Our machines can be configured for standalone use or fully integrated into automated stamping lines with coil feeders, robots, and conveyors. With available capacities up to 450 tons and customizable shut height and stroke options, these presses support high-volume production without compromising precision.
Tailored to Your Stamping Operation
No two manufacturing lines are alike, which is why our industrial stamping press solutions can be tailored to your facility. From bed size to stroke length and automation readiness, we work with you to deliver a press that aligns with your material type, part geometry, and production speed. Every machine is built at our ISO-certified Italian facility and backed by U.S.-based service and support.
Frequently Asked Questions About Our Back-Geared Press
Choosing the right back-geared press for your operation can involve several technical considerations. Below are answers to some of the most common questions we hear from plant managers and manufacturing engineers.
What’s the difference between a back-geared press and a flywheel press?
A flywheel press operates at higher speeds with less torque, while a back-geared press uses a reduction gear to increase torque at lower speeds, providing more working energy and better control for thick or complex materials.
Can Sangiacomo presses be integrated with my existing automation equipment?
Yes. Sangiacomo presses are engineered for flexible integration with coil feeding lines, conveyors, and transfer systems to support full automation or semi-automated workflows.
Where are Sangiacomo back-geared presses manufactured?
All presses are manufactured in Italy at our ISO-certified facility, using precision machining and rigorous testing before being distributed via our U.S. headquarters in Huntsville, Alabama.
Is technical support available in the U.S.?
Absolutely. Sangiacomo Presses Americas offers local technical support, spare parts, and service across the U.S., Canada, Mexico, and Central and South America.
