Hannifin OGF-38 38-Ton Hydraulic Press | C-Frame | 12" Stroke | 460V

1978 Hannifin OGF-38 38-Ton Hydraulic C-Frame Press | S/N 50700-3 Open Gap Design | 12" Stroke | 18" Daylight | Made in the USA

This Hannifin OGF-38 is a classic American-made "workhorse" press, designed for high-performance assembly, straightening, and forming. Built in 1978, this unit features the heavy-duty cast-iron frame construction that Hannifin became famous for—offering superior rigidity and minimal deflection compared to modern welded-plate imports.

The C-Frame (Open Gap) design provides unrestricted access from three sides, making it perfect for long workpieces or integration into a larger production cell. With a 38-ton capacity and a versatile 12-inch stroke, this press is powerful enough for heavy industrial use while remaining compact enough for a standard tool room or maintenance bay.

• Legacy Durability: 1970s-era Hannifin builds are known for frames that virtually never fatigue, ensuring decades of continued service.
• Open-Gap Versatility: 10-inch throat depth and 18-inch daylight allow for a wide variety of die sets and tall workpieces.
• Industrial Hydraulics: Utilizes standardized Parker-Hannifin components, making replacement seals and valves easy to source globally.
• Precise Control: Manual or foot-pedal actuation with adjustable pressure relief for consistent tonnage application.
• Solid Foundation: Floor-mounted design with a massive steel bolster plate for stable, high-accuracy pressing operations.
