Sutherland Presses has introduced a series of significant advancements across its core press technologies, reflecting the company’s continued commitment to improving productivity, part quality, and equipment longevity for manufacturers worldwide. These enhancements highlight the performance capabilities of the EHW Eccentric Mechanical Drive and the Servo Hydraulic Fluid Management System, two engineered solutions central to Sutherland’s press lineup. Together, they reinforce the company’s position as a leader in precision press motion and intelligent energy control for modern manufacturing.
Manufacturers today face heightened competition, tighter quality standards, and increasing pressure to improve efficiency. In this environment, the consistency of every stroke matters. Sutherland’s engineering approach integrates precise motion control, managed force delivery, and smart energy usage to maintain stable output across high-volume production.
The EHW Drive and Servo Hydraulic Fluid Management systems operate together to ensure continuous performance, repeatability, and operational efficiency, even in demanding environments.

The EHW Eccentric Mechanical Drive is the result of decades of refinement focused on achieving superior slide control and force transfer accuracy. Unlike conventional crankshaft mechanisms, the eccentric geometry used in the EHW enhances stability and motion precision at Bottom Dead Center (BDC), the point where part tolerance and forming integrity are defined. This capability makes the EHW ideal for applications where high accuracy, material flow, and part finish must be consistently maintained.
Production Impact: These mechanical advantages support repeatable part quality, lower scrap rates, and extended tool and press life. By maintaining mechanical rigidity and motion accuracy, manufacturers benefit from reduced downtime and greater long-term productivity.
The Servo Hydraulic Fluid Management System introduces a smarter, energy-efficient approach to hydraulic power control. Integrated with I-PRESS® controls, it adjusts pump speed, flow, and pressure dynamically based on real-time forming requirements, meaning power is only used when needed. This approach significantly reduces heat, noise, and energy waste while enhancing forming precision.
Result: The system provides high-precision forming, predictable results, and lower operating costs, making it a strong fit for manufacturers seeking both performance and sustainability.

Combined, the precision of the EHW drive and the efficiency of the servo hydraulic system represent Sutherland’s core performance philosophy: reliability, accuracy, and durability in every production environment. With I-PRESS® integration, manufacturers can program motion profiles, force curves, and speed controls tailored to specific applications, supporting both process flexibility and long-term operational success.
Power. Precision. Performance.
That’s the Sutherland Advantage.
