Our Economy Series (E-Series) pneumatic presses reduce production costs with a streamlined benchtop design while providing the same quality that Janesville Tool is known for.

We also supply a complete line of pneumatic press parts and press attachments compatible with any press system. With custom fabrication options, manufacturer-direct pricing, and 24-hour shipping, there’s no reason to settle for anything less than the best.

How Pneumatic Presses Work

A pneumatic air press uses compressed air to deliver consistent pressure for bending, drawing, punching, or forming metal and plastic components. Each unit includes an adjustable ram, high-accuracy down-stop mechanism, and smooth operation free from lubrication maintenance. Janesville Tool manufactures custom power, toggle, heat and other pneumatic arbor presses for highly specialized production tasks.

Standard Features

Every JT&M pneumatic press includes:

3-inch stroke with adjustable stop and anti-rotation mechanism
Dual-hand, anti-tie-down safety controls
Nonmetallic bearings for friction-free operation
Adjustable flow solenoid valves
Alternate stroke lengths available
Anti-repeat and custom modification options

How to Choose the Right Pneumatic Press

When selecting a pneumatic press machine, consider the following factors:

Mounting configuration (benchtop vs. floor-standing)
Application type (assembly, punching, cutting, forming)
Production volume and duty cycle
Safety requirements and automation level
Custom tooling or attachments needed
Required force or tonnage

JT&M Force Calculation

Model numbers are set up to give the user an indication of the force that can be obtained from the press. The last three numbers of the model number, when divided by 10 and multiplied by the air pressure, will yield the output force of the press.

Pneumatic Press Applications

Pneumatic presses are versatile tools that are capable of handling high-speed operations on a small scale. Our pneumatic presses are used throughout the United States in aerospace, defense, telecom and medical industries. A pneumatic press creates more force than a manual press, making it an ideal tool for the following industrial applications:

Benchtop press

Each precision benchtop pneumatic press is small enough to fit easily on a bench to complement your working area.

Hand press

Our presses are easily hand operated and fully customizable for minimal effort use over and over and over again.

Power press

All Janesville Tool & Manufacturing pneumatic presses are powered to improve repeatability and maximize precision.

Pneumatic Press VS Hydraulic Press

The difference between pneumatic and hydraulic presses is the method used to operate the machine. Pneumatic presses use compressed air or nitrogen gas to create leverage and compressive force. Hydraulic presses incorporate a cylinder filled with oil to create downward force. A piston compresses the oil, which cannot expand within the cylinder and forces the ram into the workpiece. Both hydraulic and pneumatic presses are used for the same roles and are capable of performing the same tasks. Pneumatic presses feature faster operation and are generally easier to maintain.
