Baileigh HSP-30A Pneumatic Press
The Baileigh HSP-30A is a versatile 30-ton pneumatic and manual shop press built with industrial grade components and a fully welded steel frame, designed to deliver reliable pressing power for metal fabrication, automotive repair, and general workshop applications.
When you need serious pressing power without breaking the bank, the HSP-30A delivers exactly what your workshop demands. This robust H-frame press combines the convenience of pneumatic operation with the precision of manual control, giving you the flexibility to tackle everything from heavy duty bearing removal to delicate assembly work.
Built on a fully welded steel frame, this press eliminates the flexing and wobbling you might experience with lighter duty models. You get the full 30 tons of force exactly where you need it, thanks to the movable cylinder design that slides left or right within the frame. This means you're not limited to center aligned work, which is particularly valuable when dealing with awkwardly shaped components or off-center applications.
The dual operation mode sets this press apart from purely pneumatic models. Need speed? Use the air-powered mode to move through repetitive tasks quickly. Need precision? Switch to manual operation for fine control on sensitive work. This versatility makes the HSP-30A suitable for both production environments and custom fabrication shops where every job is different. With industrial grade hydraulic components throughout, you're investing in equipment that's built to perform reliably for years, backed by Baileigh's reputation for quality craftsmanship.
Applications
- Metal Fabrication & Forming: Press and form sheet metal components, create bends, and shape metal parts for custom fabrication projects with precise, controlled force.
- Bearing Installation & Removal: Install and remove bearings from shafts, housings, and assemblies with the exact pressure needed to avoid damaging expensive components.
- Automotive & Heavy Equipment Repair: Press bushings, remove rusted parts, straighten bent components, and handle transmission work, axle repairs, and suspension rebuilding with confidence.
- Assembly & Disassembly Operations: Join press-fit components, separate stuck assemblies, and perform precise alignment tasks across manufacturing and repair applications.
- Straightening & Alignment Work: Straighten bent shafts, frames, and structural components, restoring parts to specification rather than replacing them.
- General Workshop Tasks: Handle punching, clinching, molding, blanking, deep drawing, and various metal forming operations that require controlled, substantial force.
Key Features & Benefits
- Dual Operation Modes: Your Choice, Your Control: Switch between pneumatic and manual operation depending on your task. Air operation speeds through repetitive jobs, while manual mode gives you fingertip control for precision work. You're never locked into just one way of working.
- Movable Cylinder Design: Position Power Where You Need It: The cylinder slides left and right across the frame, so you can apply force exactly where your workpiece demands it. This flexibility means you can handle off-center and awkwardly positioned components without struggling to reposition heavy parts.
- Fully Welded Steel Frame: Built to Handle Full Force: Unlike bolt-together frames that can flex under pressure, this fully welded construction stays rigid even at maximum tonnage. You get accurate results every time because the frame isn't absorbing your pressing force.
- Industrial-Grade Hydraulic Components: Reliability You Can Count On: Built with professional-quality hydraulic parts designed for commercial use, not light-duty consumer components. This means smooth, consistent operation and years of dependable service in demanding workshop environments.
- Pressure Regulator & Gauge: Complete Control & Monitoring: See exactly how much force you're applying with the built-in pressure gauge. The regulator lets you dial in the precise pressure for each job, protecting delicate components from excessive force.
- Generous Working Width: Room for Larger Components: With 550mm (21.65") of working width, you have space to maneuver substantial workpieces and aren't constantly fighting size limitations.
- Easily Adjustable Table: Set Up Fast, Work Efficiently: The table adjusts quickly to accommodate different workpiece heights, minimizing setup time and letting you move between jobs efficiently.
- Automatic Piston Return: Faster Cycle Times: The piston automatically returns to starting position after each press, speeding up your workflow on repetitive tasks and reducing operator fatigue.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use this press if I don't have compressed air in my shop?
Absolutely! The HSP-30A includes a manual hand pump for situations where compressed air isn't available or when you need extra precision. While the pneumatic mode is faster, the manual operation gives you complete control and works independently of your air system.
How do I know how much force I'm applying to avoid damaging my workpiece?
The built-in pressure gauge shows you exactly how much force you're applying in real time. Combined with the pressure regulator, you can dial in the precise amount of force needed for each specific job, whether that's 5 tons for delicate work or the full 30 tons for heavy-duty applications.
Will the frame flex or bend when I'm using the full 30ton capacity?
No. The fully welded steel construction is specifically designed to handle the maximum rated capacity without flexing. Unlike bolt-together frames that can shift under load, this welded design ensures all your pressing force goes into your work, not into bending the frame.
What kind of maintenance does this press require?
Maintenance is straightforward and minimal. Keep the hydraulic system filled with proper hydraulic oil, check for leaks periodically, keep the sliding surfaces clean and lightly lubricated, and ensure the cylinder moves smoothly. The industrial-grade components are built for longevity with basic care. Full maintenance guidelines are included in your user manual.
Can the cylinder really move to different positions, or is it just adjustable once during setup?
The cylinder can be repositioned as needed throughout your workday. It slides left and right along the crossbeam, allowing you to position the pressing force exactly where you need it for each individual job. This is particularly valuable when working with off-center holes, unbalanced components, or parts that can't be easily centered under a fixed cylinder.
