Overview
The Eagle SC Series is Eagle’s line of straight-sided crank presses built for low to medium tonnage applications. These machines deliver reliable performance for stamping, blanking, progressive die work, and other forming operations where repeatability and ruggedness count.
Key Features & Capabilities
- Tonnage Range:
- Covers approximately 100 to 1,200 tons, making the SC Series ideal for small-to-mid scale operations needing quality crank press power.
- Drive & Gear Options:
- Available with single-geared, single-end drives for lower energy demands, or twin-end drives for more power and more demanding production. Gear arrangement typically varies with bed size and tonnage requirements.
- Modern Control Options:
- Includes programmable cams, variable speed drives, hydraulic overload protection, automatic counterbalancing.
- Flexible Bed & Slide Design:
- Straight-sided frame provides stiffness and alignment; bed area and slide dimensions can be matched to die size. Bolster windows, feeder/transfer integration, and custom slide adjustments can also be added.
Applications & Ideal Use Cases
- Progressive die work, blanking, and smaller forming operations where high tonnage is not required.
- Shops that need a press with good speed, reliability, and serviceability, but without the complexity or cost of larger eccentric or link-drive presses.
- Retrofit or expansion projects where space, energy, or budget constraints push trade-offs between performance and scale.
Benefits
- Cost-effective press solution for medium & smaller tonnage applications.
- Reduced complexity (versus big link or eccentric drives) means easier maintenance and potentially lower operating costs.
- Good energy efficiency when properly specified (drive type, speed, control options).
- Strong support for modern safety features and production enhancements (feeds, transfers, tonnage monitoring, etc.).
Why Choose Eagle SC Series?
- A great match when you need reliable crank press power without jumping to very large tonnage classes.
- Well suited for shops doing small to mid-volume runs, or diverse jobs where flexibility and ease of setup matter.
- Eagle’s backing: rugged construction, good heritage, strong support in North America.
Typical Spec Checkpoints
When evaluating or specifying an SE Series press, be sure to provide us with:
- Capacity / Required Force — including any duty‐cycle or peak tonnage needs.
- Bed & Slide Dimensions — bolster size, slide R-L and F-B dimensions, die clearance.
- Stroke & Shut Height — needed daylight, slide travel, die height plus safety margin.
- Drive Type — single or twin end, geared arrangement suited for your production cycle.
- Cycle Speed / SPM — what speed or rate you need for production throughput.
- Options & Safety Features — cams, speed drive, overload protection, tonnage monitors, safety guarding, feeder/transfer integration.
Example Specs (From Typical SC Units)
- 400 tons, 108-in “A B C D” bed (slide/bostling dimensions) press with 48-in bolster.
- Stroke: varies per model, but SC Series presses are available in multiple stroke lengths depending on die clearance and part geometry.
