This Master thesis deals with the design concept of press drive of LKJP 250 press with planetary gearbox. It is a single one-point crank universal press, which is designed for cold-forming operations. The press is used for operate in single stroke mode or continuous operation when engaged in an automatic press line. The first part of the thesis deals with the research in the field of mechanical crank press drives arrangement and kinematic analysis, followed the description of the main parts of the press drive. The second part of the thesis deals with the design of the press drive. The solutions are suggested in several possible options with performing basic calculation. On the basis of the required criteria, the most suitable variant is cho...
