The energy-bound high-performance screw presses 

with direct drive from SMS Meer have universal applications. 

They combine high forming force with a simultaneous 

high forging precision. Screw presses with 

direct electric drive differ from flywheel-driven screw 

presses in that the driven spindle is connected directly 

to the drive motor without intermediate gearboxes or 

other mechanisms. 

intelligent HigH-availaBility 

maCHine ConCePt 

The forging sequences on a workpiece can be programmed. 

The bottom dead centre position is variable. 

No adjustment of the die height is necessary. 

Thanks to the SMS Meer technology, no adjustment 

of the ram is necessary as the machine heats up. The 

drive comes from a synchronous motor with the stator 

forming part of the machine frame and the rotor 

part of the flywheel. The machines also have an impressive 

energy concept thanks to the feedback of 

the braking energy. 

The synchronous motors of the presses have a simple 

design with larger packing density. The permanent 

magnets generate no heat at the rotor, i.e. no rotor 

cooling is necessary and the stator winding is cooled 

with water. Contaminated cooling air flows in the motor 

area are eliminated and thus reliability is increased.

sCrew Presses – tyPe sPKa 

With full momentum into the future 

Screw presses with continuously revolving flywheel 

and integral clutch are a further form of the energybound 

machines from SMS Meer. This opens up 

possibilities offered by no other press type. These 

presses are used to forge turbine blades and turbine 

discs of titanium for the aircraft industry and for power 

station components. 

flexiBle ProCess seqUenCes 

High forming energy is available even at reduced 

ram speed. This is made possible by the special 

clutch disengagement technology. Furthermore, 

minimum workpiece contact times are achieved. 

Clutch disengagement can be force or stroke- 

controlled. All functions are controlled electronically. 

tHe design Benefits 

Special features on the mechanical side are the pneumatic 

weight balancing, the spindle brake and the 

hydraulic flywheel bearings. Low accelerated masses, 

short acceleration distance and stroke rate preselection 

are further benefits of this machine type. Maximum 

forging power is available at 50% of the nominal 

stroke rate. The machine has variable-frequency drive.

more tHan jUst on time 

In cooperation with the Chinese company Wuxi 

Turbine Blade (WTB), the employees from 

SMS Meer erected the world’s most powerful 

clutch-operated screw press three months faster 

than planned. The plant impresses with a press 

force of 35,500 tonnes, a spindle diameter of 

1,320 mm and an exceptional energy efficiency. 

Wuxi can now forge significantly more sophisti- 

12 

cated parts for its customers from the aircraft 

and power station industries than to date. “For 

us the plant has the advantage of being able to 

meet the growing demands of our customers 

from the aircraft and power station industries,” 

says Yan Qi, Managing Director of WTB. “We 

have been working together successfully with 

SMS Meer since 1976.”

forging rolls 

Save material, reduce forming force 

The forging rolls from SMS Meer impress with their 

clear design and high reliability. The machines are particularly 

suited to the preforming of forgings where 

the mass distribution of the preform is already close 

to that of the blank to be forged. For the plant owners 

this means material cost savings thanks to reduced 

flash, higher surface qualities thanks to the descaling 

during the rolling process and an improved grain 

orientation in the workpieces. Plus the increase in die 

life thanks to the optimum material distribution and 

descaling. 

14 

The size of the forging roll depends on the dimensions 

of the starting material. In general material with 

an edge length of up to 160 mm with a square form 

or a diameter of roughly 170 mm with round form can 

be employed. 

seamless integration 

The automatic forging rolls can be easily integrated 

into forging lines and require no additional operating 

personnel. The high productivity allows the capacity 

of a downline closed-die forging press to be fully 

utilized. Furthermore, quick-change systems and the 

well-conceived operating concept offer short set-up 

and tooling times.

Cross rolls 

Save time and machining costs 

The machines for cross rolling from SMS Meer are 

characterized by flexibility, high yield and quick tool 

changing. The design of the adjacent rolls prevents 

scale deposits and asymmetric heating of the rolling 

dies. The drive principle with torque motor and permanently 

connected shafts combines maximum variability 

with the highest precision. Further options available 

include heating and cooling systems for the tools. 

PreCision BlanKs 

Our cross-rolling machines are outstandingly suitable 

for volume distribution during forging of mass 

products, such as twin con rods or stub axles for the 

automotive industry. They contribute significantly 

to the optimization of the whole process. With the 

best possible blank forms within close dimensional 

and weight tolerances and with reduced flash and 

die wear. The cross roll is used for final and preci- 

sion rolling of rotationally symmetrical parts such 

as transmission and drive shafts. The result: Subsequent 

machining is frequently made completely 

superfluous or is significantly reduced.
