shearing machine capacity guide
Last Updated: february 2026
Selecting the correct shearing machine capacity is essential for achieving clean cuts, machine longevity, and maximum production efficiency. In this expert guide by OMAXE MACHINE TOOLS INDIA PVT LTD, we break down how thickness, cutting length, tensile strength, and machine design affect performance.
What is Shearing Machine Capacity?
Shearing machine capacity refers to the maximum thickness and width of metal sheet that a machine can cut in a single stroke. Capacity is generally defined in mm thickness × mm cutting length, based on mild steel reference material.
Key Factors That Determine Capacity
Standard Capacity Comparison
| Machine Type | Thickness Range | Cutting Length |
|---|---|---|
| Hydraulic Shearing | 4mm – 12mm | 2500mm – 4000mm |
| NC Shearing | 6mm – 16mm | 3000mm – 6000mm |
| CNC Shearing | 8mm – 20mm | 3000mm – 6000mm |
How to Select the Right Capacity?
Always calculate required cutting force based on material strength and thickness. Choose a machine with 20–30% higher safety margin to ensure stable performance and longer lifespan.
