Abstract

A large caliber ring forging apparatus which is able to uniformly forge a ring blank. The apparatus includes a vertical cylinder device (4) adapted such that a vertical ram (4a) thereof is pressurized by a source of pressurization and a horizontal cylinder device (5) adapted such that a horizontal ram (5a) is allowed to execute its forward operation by a pressurized liquid supplied from the vertical cylinder device (4). An anvil (6) is removably secured to the horizontal ram (5a) and to a return cylinder device (7) connected to a hydraulic pressure supply source (8) for returning the anvil 6 to a return position. Disposed in opposition to the anvil is a mandrel (9) used to forge a ring blank (15) and supported by upper and lower tension bars (3, 11). A table roller device (14) supports the ring blank and rotationally drives the ring blank (15). A plurality of the above-mentioned vertical cylinder devices (4) are disposed in a horizontal direction and a plurality of the above-mentioned horizontal cylinder devices (5) are disposed in a vertical direction. The respective vertical cylinder devices 4 are connected to the separate horizontal cylinder devices 5 by means of separate liquid…
