Overview
The Eagle SEL Series presses are built for heavy production with a design that reduces torque but still delivers high tonnage performance. These straight‐sided, eccentric link-drive presses are tailored for high throughput applications where power, reliability, and repeatability are essential.
Key Features & Capabilities
- High-Tonnage Performance
- Designed for very large press loads (3500+ tons), the SEL Series handles demanding metal forming tasks with confidence.
- Straight-Sided Link Drive Mechanism
- Uses an eccentric link drive design, which provides strong, consistent motion while reducing excessive torque on the frame compared to some other drive types.
- High Production Speed & Durability
- Ideal for high-volume stamping where cycle times and uptime matter. These presses are engineered to sustain long runs with minimal fatigue.
- Robust, Heavy-Duty Construction
- Includes features such as two- or four-point suspension (slide suspension), double gearing, and reinforced frames to handle large forces and maintain accuracy.
- Flexible Configuration
- While built for power, the SEL Series can be customized with options like variable speed drives, hydraulic overload protection, programmable cams, counterbalancing, soft clutches/brakes, and more.
Applications & Best Uses
- Very large stamping operations requiring 3500+ tons of force
- High-volume production where both speed and reliability are critical
- Tasks such as heavy blanking, deep drawing, transfer and tandem press lines
- Where reduced torque on press frames is desirable to improve longevity and reduce maintenance
Why Choose Eagle SEL Series?
- Reduced frame stress due to link drive design — helps avoid warp, distortion, and long-term damage.
- High throughput while maintaining precision and reliability under heavy loads.
- Customizable for your facility — SEL presses can be tailored to match your production layout, tooling, cycle time, and safety standards.
- Backed by Eagle’s legacy of mechanical press building, with decades of experience in the 3500+ ton market.
Typical Spec Checkpoints
When evaluating or specifying an SE Series press, be sure to provide us with:
