Crankshaft Mechanical Press

[Lohaar]

Hello guys,
I am a student and looking forward to getting detailed knowledge on complete calculations and formulas related to force, torque, etc. of a 6-inch crankshaft mechanical forging press. I want to know how to calculate the force generated by the crankshaft, along with torque and any other useful details about it. Can anyone please help me with genuine sources like books, PDFs, or any source where all this is mentioned?

Thanks and Regards.

A class in statics should be all you need.

First, if you mean a flywheel driven oscillating mechanical press -

Theoretically, near the bottom of the stroke, the force is only limited by the strength of the press and the elasticity of the press and the resistance of the material. If the press is considered to be perfectly rigid, unlimited strength, and the material is unyielding, the theoretical force is infinite.

The main feature of the process is to store energy in rotation of the flywheel and transfer that energy into plastic deformation of the material being worked. How much force actually is applied is generally limited by how much the work piece fights back.

As a practical matter, I think operators of such machines figure out rather quickly what works and what doesn't and will just move to a larger machine if required.
