MK8 12v Electric Hydraulic Mandrel Tube Bender
MK8 12v Electric Hydraulic Mandrel Tube Bender
Based on the solid build principle of the MK5 hand bender, but strengthened and upgraded with a hydraulic motor. The hydraulic direct drive motor is powered by a 12v battery (included). This makes the MK8EH Mandrel Bender fully portable with no requirement for a 230v supply. The 12v battery will happily form up to 50 bends between charges. It comes fitted with an intelligent low amperage batter charge / conditioner that can be left plugged in indefinitely.
Features include:
- Increased diameter main shaft – to support larger bend formers.
- Heavy duty hydraulic motor providing power – enabling 180° bends to be formed in one continuous bend operation.
- Increased bending capacity – will handle up to 1.5″ diameter x 16 swg 316 seamless stainless steel on a 3″ CLR comfortably.
- Faster bending – takes just 10 seconds to bend the above material 180°.
- Twin bending – Can bend two pipes up to 1″ x 12 swg stainless steel on a 50mm CLR at the same time in one operation.
- Hydraulic power pack – operating at 12 volts to eliminate health and safety concerns when using mains voltage.
- Adjustable degree disk – controls auto stop positioning enabling accurate, easily repeatable bends up to 180°.
- Very compact unit – will free stand on a bench top or can be bolted down if required.
- Will bend tubes ranging in size from:
Wide range of metric and imperial mandrel sizes available. We are happy to produce custom sizes on request.
The hydraulic bender comes complete with:
- 12V, 200 bar hydraulic power pack.
- All hoses and electrical connections.
- Just fit a mandrel, connect a 12V battery (a standard car battery will be sufficient) and start bending.
Standard die sets are available off the shelf in imperial and metric round. Custom Die Sets can also be made in any size (round or square) to order. Please call for details. Steel mandrel bullets are used for mild steel and stainless steel, and nylon internal mandrel bullets are recommended for aluminium as very little if any further lubrication is required.
Explanation of CLR (centreline radius)
CLR (centreline radius) is the distance from the centre to the edge of the main bending die. eg. If you have a 1.00" od x 2.00" CLR die set the complete with (diameter) of the die will measure 4.00" across and centre to edge will be 2.00". If you make a 180° bend and measure centre of tube to centre of tube across your u-bend it will measure 4.00".
