Price estimate
We do not have a price for the LVD PPEB 170/40 that we can stand behind, so we show no number. Configuration, options and installation move the final price a long way: a quote is the reliable figure.
Overview
For general four-metre work without a large power unit, LVD offers the PPEB 170/40. The LVD PPEB 170/40 has 1,700 kN, a 4,000 mm (157.5 in) working length and a 22 kW motor, at a weight of 13,500 kg (29,762 lb).
It opens the 22 kW group among the four-metre PPEB machines. The PPEB 135/40 below it has a 15 kW motor and returns its ram at 115 mm/s. Here the return is 160 mm/s, the approach 130 mm/s and the working speed 15 mm/s, with a 350 L tank at 285 bar.
One step up, the picture changes again. The PPEB 220/40 has a 37 kW motor and works at 21 mm/s with a 200 mm/s return. A shop choosing between the two should compare cycle times on its own parts as well as tonnage, because the stronger machine is also the faster one.
Geometry: 3,150 mm (124.0 in) between the uprights, a 400 mm (15.7 in) gap, a 200 mm (7.9 in) stroke and 400 mm of open height. The table is 120 mm (4.7 in) wide and rated at 2,000 kN/m.
On LVD's economy side the nearest machine is the PPED 165/40, which works at 10 mm/s and has a gap of 250 mm. The PPEB's deeper gap is useful on exactly the long parts a four-metre brake is bought for, since those are the ones that overhang the frames.

Frequently Asked Questions
01
The PPEB 220/40 has 2,200 kN, a 37 kW motor, a 21 mm/s working speed and a 200 mm/s return, and weighs 15,300 kg. This model has 1,700 kN, 22 kW, 15 mm/s and 160 mm/s at 13,500 kg.
02
The PPED 165/40 has 1,650 kN, an 18 kW motor, a 10 mm/s working speed, a 250 mm gap and 500 mm of open height. The PPEB has 1,700 kN, 22 kW, 15 mm/s, a 400 mm gap and 400 mm of open height.
03
Yes. LVD offers increased table-ram distance and stroke, and a deeper gap, in 100 mm steps as an option, and notes that other stroke and daylight combinations belong to its standard range.
04
13,500 kg (29,762 lb). LVD's statement that PPEB frames up to 400 ton/4m can be installed at floor level applies to this size.
