How can I automate a manual hydraulic machine?
(OP)
can you guys help me, giving some ideas on how to automate a manual hydraulic machine that uses a hydraulic jack, or we can use other type of component to press any object.
Here the structure so far:


I would really appreciate if any of you guys could share any ideas, that would be awesome :)

actuator to replace the human pumping the handle? motor on the release screw?
replace with other hydraulic/servo press?
you don't give any details on its function/forces involved/budget/cycle times/etc.. so an alternate suggestion is impossible.

Be very careful. A mechanism like this is potentially subject to safety standards that apply to power presses. Due to the significant potential of someone having fingers, hands, or arms flattened, these standards are very stringent. If you don't have experience with this sort of thing, it is likely time to call in the experts - there are plenty of companies that specialise in power presses and would know what needs to be done.

When using a hydraulic press with high force capability, you need to be careful. It is very easy to damage parts being assembled when applying several tons of force. A manually operated hydraulic cylinder is actually a good idea in one respect, since it allows some feedback when cycling the pump lever.

If you truly want to automate it, you will need to do a lot of work or a little, depending on what the intended purpose is.

Of course pneumatic over hydraulic is another story.

Such a device is, in every meaningful way, STILL a hydraulic jack, with no significant worries due to the compressibility of the working fluid since it is merely used to operate the jack pump mechanism.
The term "air over hydraulic" does not properly describe the device I suggested in my opinion.

Great photo - havent seen one of those before - gets a star.
