Hydraulic swing beam shears are industrial-grade machines designed to cut sheet metal with precision using a hydraulic-powered swing beam mechanism. Unlike traditional guillotine shears, the swing beam action ensures a consistent rake angle throughout the cutting stroke, minimizing material distortion and improving edge finish. These machines are especially suited for processing medium to thick sheets in steel, stainless steel, and aluminum.
The swing beam structure ensures a smooth, arc-shaped blade movement, reducing torsional stress on the frame. This allows for high cutting accuracy and extended machine life.
Integrated with a motorized blade clearance system, operators can fine-tune the gap according to material thickness and type, minimizing burrs and increasing cut quality.
Equipped with high-efficiency hydraulic pumps and valves, the system provides stable cutting force and ensures low noise and vibration during operation.
The backgauge mechanism is controlled by a servo motor with a precision ball screw drive, offering ±0.1 mm accuracy in sheet positioning. Ideal for repetitive production.
Hydraulic swing beam shears are capable of shearing various metals, including:
Carbon steel: Up to 20mm thickness
Stainless steel: Up to 12mm
Aluminum alloy sheets: Up to 25mm
They are available in lengths ranging from 1300 mm to 6000 mm, depending on application requirements.
These shears are commonly used in industries requiring reliable, repeatable, and burr-free cuts:
Heavy machinery manufacturing
Steel structure processing
Shipbuilding and marine engineering
HVAC duct fabrication
Automotive body panel production
Most modern hydraulic swing beam shears come with integrated:
ESA or Delem CNC controllers for real-time blade angle and gap management
Light curtain sensors and rear fencing for operator safety
Hydraulic hold-down cylinders to prevent material slippage during cutting
Optional automatic sheet feeding systems for improved productivity
Constructed from Q235/Q345 steel, the machine frame undergoes stress-relief annealing and CNC machining for maximum structural integrity. Wear-resistant blades made from Cr12Mov or 6CrW2Si ensure a long working life and low replacement frequency.
Regular maintenance includes:
Checking hydraulic fluid levels
Lubricating blade guidance and backgauge system
Inspecting hoses, seals, and filter elements
What is the cutting accuracy of a hydraulic swing beam shear?
Most models offer cutting tolerance within ±0.1–0.2 mm, depending on material thickness and blade condition.
Can hydraulic swing beam shears cut stainless steel?
Yes, high-strength variants with Cr12MoV blades can cut stainless steel up to 12mm thick with excellent edge quality.
What is the difference between swing beam and guillotine shears?
Swing beam shears use a rotating blade motion for lower wear and consistent rake angle, while guillotine shears cut vertically and require more frequent adjustment.
How do you adjust the blade gap on these shears?
Most models offer a motorized blade clearance adjustment system controlled via CNC interface for precision tuning.
What are the typical maintenance tasks?
Regular maintenance includes checking hydraulic oil, blade condition, backgauge calibration, and overall system lubrication.
Which industries benefit most from these shears?
Industries like HVAC, automotive, steel fabrication, and shipbuilding benefit from fast, precise, and repeatable cuts.
