What to Check Before Buying a Used Screw Press

Screw and nut condition

The screw is the heart of the press. Check thread flank wear using a pitch gauge and inspect the nut bronze for pitting. Excessive backlash reduces energy transfer efficiency.

Friction discs

On friction screw presses (Stanko F1734 series), inspect the friction disc linings and their contact with the flywheel rim. Worn linings cause slippage and inconsistent stroke energy delivery.

Frame and gibs

Inspect the frame for cracks at the crown and bed junction. Check slide gibs for wear — screw presses are often used for coining and die forging where slide alignment is critical.

Brake and control

Verify that the brake holds the slide at top dead center without drift. Confirm that the control system supports single-stroke and inching modes as required by your process.

Flywheel and bearings

Check flywheel bearing temperature and noise during a run test. Overheated bearings indicate inadequate lubrication history or misalignment.

Why Source a Used Screw Press from Poland

Soviet-built Stanko friction screw presses were imported in large numbers by Polish forging plants, alongside German Lasco units. Many are in good mechanical condition with low actual cycle counts relative to their age. EU location enables straightforward export documentation and intra-EU shipping without customs complexity for European buyers.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Friction screw presses (Stanko) drive the flywheel via friction discs in contact with the drive shaft — simpler mechanics, lower cost, suited to general forging. Electric screw presses (Lasco KSP) drive the screw directly via an electric motor or hydraulic coupling, giving precise energy control per stroke and faster cycle rates. Both types appear on the European used market.

Screw presses are used for hot die forging, coining, embossing, bending and forming of steel and non-ferrous parts. They deliver adjustable stroke energy and are well-suited to short production runs and tool tryout.
