Baileigh HSP-50A Pneumatic Press
The Baileigh HSP-50A is a professional grade 45-ton (metric) pneumatic/manual hydraulic shop press designed to deliver serious pressing power for your fabrication, automotive, or machine shop. This H-frame press combines air-powered efficiency with manual control precision, giving you the versatility to tackle everything from delicate bearing installations to heavy duty metal forming operations.
When you need reliable pressing power that won't quit, the HSP-50A delivers. This isn't your basic workshop press. It's built with a fully welded steel frame that's engineered to handle the full force of 45 metric tons (50 US tons) day in and day out without flexing or buckling under pressure.
What makes this press stand out? You get dual operation modes. Need speed and efficiency for repetitive tasks? Use the pneumatic foot pedal control. Working on something delicate that requires precise control? Switch to the manual hand pump mounted right on the side of the press. This flexibility means you're never forcing a one-size-fits-all approach on your projects.
The HSP-50A is designed for professionals who understand that time equals money. That's why Baileigh included a winch and pulley system that lets you adjust the working table height without throwing out your back. No more struggling to reposition heavy workpieces or wrestling with manual adjustments. The industrial grade hydraulic components ensure smooth, consistent operation year after year, and the movable cylinder design lets you position your work exactly where you need it within the frame.
Whether you're running a busy automotive repair shop, managing a fabrication facility, or operating a machine shop, this press gives you the muscle and precision you need to keep projects moving. It's the kind of equipment that pays for itself in saved time, reduced labor costs, and the ability to handle jobs in house that you'd otherwise farm out.
Applications
- Bearing Installation and Removal: Press bearings onto shafts, into housings, or remove stubborn bearings from automotive and industrial equipment with controlled, even pressure
- Metal Forming and Bending: Shape, bend, and straighten metal components including steel plates, bars, and custom fabrications
- Bushing and Gear Work: Install or remove bushings, gears, pulleys, and U-joints for automotive, agricultural, and industrial machinery repair
- Stamping and Punching Operations: Create precise impressions, punch holes, and perform blanking operations on metal sheets and plates
- Assembly Work: Press-fit components together, including shaft assemblies, wrist pins, and interference-fit parts that require significant force
- Straightening Operations: Correct bent or warped metal parts, frames, and structural components back to specification
Key Features & Benefits
- Dual Operation Control: Switch between pneumatic foot pedal operation for fast, repetitive work and manual hand pump control when you need precision. This gives you total control over ram speed and pressure application, so you can work confidently on both heavy-duty and delicate tasks.
- Heavy-Duty Welded Frame: The fully welded steel main frame construction provides maximum rigidity and zero flex, meaning you can safely use the full 45 tons of capacity without worrying about structural failure or decreased accuracy over time.
- Large Cylinder with Extended Stroke: The 152mm (6-inch) diameter cylinder delivers powerful, consistent force through a generous 200mm (7.8-inch) stroke length, giving you plenty of working range for tall components and deep pressing operations.
- Ergonomic Table Adjustment: The integrated winch and pulley system eliminates the back-breaking work of manually repositioning the table. You can quickly adjust the working height to accommodate different-sized workpieces, saving time and reducing operator fatigue.
- Movable Cylinder Design: Position the cylinder left or right within the H-frame to handle off-center workpieces and optimize your pressing position. This flexibility is invaluable when working with irregular components or when you need to press at specific points.
- Industrial-Grade Hydraulics: Built with professional quality hydraulic components that ensure smooth operation and long service life. These aren't consumer-grade parts, they're designed for daily commercial use in demanding shop environments.
- Pressure Monitoring: Keep track of applied force with the integrated pressure regulator and gauge, allowing you to work within safe limits and achieve consistent results across multiple operations.
- Automatic Safety Features: The automatic piston return brings the ram back to the starting position after each cycle, improving workflow efficiency and operator safety. The system also includes overload protection to prevent damage from excessive force.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need an air compressor to operate this press?
The HSP-50A offers dual operation, so while an air compressor (110-125 PSI) enables faster pneumatic operation via the foot pedal, you can also operate it completely manually using the hand pump. This makes it perfect for shops without compressed air or situations where you need more precise control.
What's the difference between 45 metric tons and 50 US tons?
They're essentially the same force. The HSP-50A is rated at 45 metric tonnes, which converts to approximately 50 US (short) tons. Different regions use different measurement standards, but the pressing capacity remains consistent.
How much floor space does this press require?
The footprint is approximately 1118 x 610 mm (44 x 24 inches), with a total height of 2108 mm (83 inches). Make sure you have adequate overhead clearance and allow extra space around the press for comfortable operation and workpiece maneuvering.
Can the cylinder be repositioned for offcenter pressing?
Absolutely! The movable cylinder design allows you to slide the cylinder left or right within the H-frame. This is incredibly useful when you need to press at specific points on irregular workpieces or when working with components that can't be centered.
What maintenance does the HSP50A require?
Routine maintenance is straightforward. Keep the hydraulic system filled with quality hydraulic oil, periodically inspect hydraulic lines and connections for leaks, keep moving parts lubricated, and ensure the working table and frame stay clean. The industrial-grade components are designed for minimal maintenance and long service life.
Is this press suitable for automotive repair work?
Definitely! The 50-ton capacity is ideal for automotive applications including pressing bearings, bushings, U-joints, ball joints, and gears. It's powerful enough for heavy-duty truck work yet precise enough for delicate bearing installations. Many automotive repair shops consider a 50-ton press the sweet spot for versatility.
