Hydraulic pipe benders - varieties, advantages, scope

When carrying out work related to layingpipeline and other communication systems, almost every builder uses such a device as a pipe bender. The need for their application arises immediately after the system needs to "adjust" the pipe dimensions to those indicated in the drawing. As practice shows, it is not necessary to wait for such cases for a long time. In addition, even with the complete correspondence of the pipeline with the pre-compiled pattern, the number of connecting elements must be minimized. In simple words, when laying communications it is undesirable to often use butt elements. It is for such cases that the pipe bender is intended.

Design

It should be noted that hydraulic pipe benders,despite the use of a special type of drive, refer to mechanical devices, and therefore their design is almost similar to the design of hand-held devices. In fact, the only thing that distinguishes them from "younger brothers" is the availability of a special cylinder that increases the man's efforts to bend the pipes. With this device, you can easily and quickly get the right design from an ordinary straight pipe with an angle of up to 180 degrees. By the way, some hydraulic pipe benders do not have a stop, due to what you can bend this part up to 360 degrees. But, as a rule, in construction only 2 basic values of slope are used - 90 and 180 degrees.

What are they still characterized? The hydraulic pipe bender (TG-1 including) is distinguished by the fact that it processes the material so high-quality that the possibility of flattening or formation of pipe fractures is reduced to zero.

Benefits

Tube-bending manual hydraulic (TG-1 including)has a lot of advantages in comparison with electric and simply manual analogs, which do not have a hydraulic drive in the structure. First, these tools have great power and performance, which ensures high speed of the work. However, it is worth noting that electrical devices related to professional equipment have much more power and are therefore ideally suited for the mass production of such metal products. But there are hundreds of thousands of rubles worth of such devices. Hydraulic pipe benders due to the absence of any electric engine are several times cheaper than professional machines. In addition, they are not stationary, like their more powerful counterparts, and therefore can be used directly at the site of pipeline laying and communications. Another advantage of these devices is their reliability and ease of use. Again, these features are achieved due to the absence of an electric motor in this pipe bender. Thanks to a simple design, the mechanism will certainly be less likely to break down than electric machines.
