Spindle and Flywheel Assembly
AssemblyLarge multi-start screw, its nut, and the flywheel that stores rotational energy; spinning the flywheel up and then driving the screw down converts that kinetic energy into the downward blow of the ram, so the press is energy-bound rather than force-bound. A full specification article for this item is being written. Meanwhile its bill of materials and connections are below.
