Product description
Literature has been provided for the Autoclave Hydraulic Tube Bender, part # HTB, which is designed to bend high pressure metal tubing. This bench top bender essentially consists of a frame, a bending shoe, a cylinder and a pump. A single stage hydraulic hand pump is standard. An air operated hydraulic pump is an option. Other features include a ram retractor valve for easy removal of the tube after bending, quick release pivot pins, and a shoe locking pin to secure the shoe yet allow quick release to interchange shoes if a different size tube is to be bent. You have also requested the classification of a bending shoe for the tube bender, part # 201A-6016. The shoe is made of aluminum alloy. The metal tube is placed in the bending shoe and by utilizing the pump, the tube is bent around the shoe radius. The literature indicates that other interchangeable bending shoes are available. Tube size and pressure rating determine the shoe to be selected.
