Mechanical force multiplier: not just for dies

Bean Force was born in the die, but the principle applies wherever a force needs to be multiplied up to 10 times in a small space: high-pressure valves, seismic dampers for racking and steel structures, clamping systems, machines and plants.

The problem: high force, little space

In many applications the required force is high, but the space for springs, cylinders or actuators is limited. Increasing the size of the actuator means more bulk, more weight and more cost.

The solution: multiplying force with a lever principle

Bean Force starts from an initial force – a mechanical spring, a gas spring, an elastomer or a small actuator – and multiplies it up to 10 times using a lever principle, delivering it in the opposite direction to the load. After acting, it releases at zero force.

We design and build the device to suit the application in our toolroom in Rosà (VI).

Application examples

Sector	What it enables
High-pressure valves	High closing and sealing forces with smaller springs or actuators
Seismic damper	Seismic protection at the base of racking and steel structures, capable of absorbing large forces.
Clamping and fixtures	Clamping with multiplied force and controlled release
Sheet metal dies	Upward blanking and forming, on several Z levels
Machines and plants	Wherever a force needs to be multiplied and its direction reversed

FAQs

Is the multiplier only used in dies?

No. It was developed for dies, but it can be used wherever a force needs to be multiplied: high-pressure valves, seismic dampers for racking and steel structures, clamping systems, machines and plants.

By how much does it multiply the force?

Up to 10 times the initial force, depending on the configuration.

Do you make it to measure?

Yes: we assess the application on your drawing and design the device in our engineering department.
