1/2 Ton Arbor Presses

High-Quality Arbor Presses

Janesville Tool & Manufacturing manufactures durable manual and pneumatic arbor presses designed for demanding assembly, staking, crimping, riveting and press-fit applications. Built for reliability and precision, our presses are trusted by manufacturers in the defense, aerospace, telecommunications and medical device industries, where consistent performance is critical.

1/2 Ton Manual Arbor Presses

Our manual arbor presses provide dependable force and precise control for a wide range of assembly applications. Models like the affordably priced ILP-500-AH Lever Press are ideal for lower-volume production, prototyping and workstations where operator control is essential. Built with rugged components and engineered for long service life, our manual presses deliver consistent results with minimal maintenance.

1/2 Ton Pneumatic Arbor Presses

For higher production environments, our pneumatic arbor presses offer increased speed, repeatability and operator efficiency. Models such as the EC-151 Adjustable Pneumatic Press deliver consistent pressing force while reducing operator fatigue. Pneumatic presses are ideal for applications requiring repeatable cycles, adjustable force and improved productivity.

We also offer a variety of optional accessories to configure your press for your specific application, including exhaust valves, air filters, timer kits and dual Opto-Touch® palm buttons. Need something more specialized? Our engineering team can customize any of our standard presses to meet your exact requirements, and we're happy to provide a free application test to ensure you select the right press for your operation.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between a manual and a pneumatic 1/2 ton arbor press?

A manual press relies on a hand lever to generate force, giving you direct control over each stroke. A pneumatic press uses compressed air, so it delivers consistent force automatically and works well for repetitive, high-volume jobs.

Can I customize a 1/2 ton arbor press for my application?

Yes. Our engineering team can add an exhaust valve, air filter, timer kit, dual Opto-Touch® palm button or other modifications, and can customize any stock press to your specifications.

How fast do 1/2 ton arbor presses ship?

Manual presses ship within 24 hours in most cases. Pneumatic presses ship in 1 to 2 days.

Are your 1/2 ton arbor presses made in the USA?

Yes. Every press is built in our Janesville, Wisconsin facility using US-sourced metal, with no outsourced production.

Can I test a press before I commit to a purchase?

Yes. Request a free application test, and we'll confirm the press you're ordering is right for your intended use before you buy.
