Cross Shaft Press Manufacturer in India
The Cross Shaft (Ring Frame) press design routes drive through a shaft running across the frame rather than a single central crank, which spreads pressing force more evenly through the structure. That even load distribution reduces localised wear and helps hold stamping accuracy over long, continuous production runs.
Basant's Cross Shaft presses are manufactured from premium-grade materials for heavy-duty industrial applications demanding high strength, precision and stable operation under continuous load, with a higher-tonnage 200–315 ton series available for heavier forming work.

- Cross-shaft drive distributes pressing force evenly across the frame
- Reduces wear and improves accuracy over long production runs

Cross Shaft Press — Frequently Asked
What is a Cross Shaft press?
Also called a Ring Frame press, it's a power press where drive is routed through a shaft running across the frame, distributing pressing force evenly and reducing wear compared to a single central crank drive.
What tonnage range does Basant's Cross Shaft press cover?
From 63 tons up to 315 tons, across our BMW-63, BMW-100, BMW-160 and higher-tonnage series.
What is a Cross Shaft press best suited to?
Heavy-duty, continuous stamping production where even load distribution and stable operation under sustained load are priorities.
