How much does the LVD PPEB 500/51 cost?
Price estimate
We do not have a price for the LVD PPEB 500/51 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
The LVD PPEB 500/51 is LVD's five-metre PPEB at 5,000 kN. Working length is 5,100 mm (200.8 in), weight 43,820 kg (96,605 lb), and the distance between uprights 4,050 mm (159.4 in).
Notice how the frame opening falls as force rises on this bed. It is 4,550 mm on the PPEB 220/51 and 4,270 mm on the PPEB 400/51. Here it is 4,050 mm. More than a metre of the bed lies outside the uprights, and a part using it must fit the 400 mm (15.7 in) gap.
For many heavy parts that is no restriction. A flat liner with one knuckle bend, or a long plate with a shallow break, slides into the gap without trouble. A long part with a deep upstand does not. So the question to ask of this machine is what the longest flanged part looks like.
The ram works at 9 mm/s. Approach is 100 mm/s and return 80 mm/s, with a 37 kW motor and 650 L of oil at 290 bar.
Vertical dimensions follow the heavy PPEB pattern: 300 mm (11.8 in) of stroke, 570 mm (22.4 in) of open height, a bed at 970 mm (38.2 in). The table is 200 mm (7.9 in) wide and rated at 2,500 kN/m. If parts will ever exceed one bed, LVD lists tandem configurations among the options.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- 5,000 kN on a 5,100 mm (200.8 in) working length
- 43,820 kg (96,605 lb), close to the shorter PPEB 500/45
- 570 mm (22.4 in) opening and 300 mm (11.8 in) stroke
- Table at a working height of 970 mm (38.2 in)
- Tandem configuration offered for longer parts
Limitations
- 4,050 mm (159.4 in) between uprights, the narrowest five-metre PPEB opening
- Flanged parts beyond that width are limited to the 400 mm (15.7 in) gap
- Return speed of only 80 mm/s
- 37 kW motor and 650 L of oil

Frequently Asked Questions
01
4,050 mm (159.4 in). The PPEB 400/51 has 4,270 mm and the PPEB 220/51 has 4,550 mm on the same 5,100 mm working length.
02
They pass through the gap in the side frames, which is 400 mm (15.7 in) deep. That limits the flange or upstand that a full-length part can carry at its ends.
03
It is listed at 43,820 kg (96,605 lb). The PPEB 500/45 weighs 42,200 kg and the six-metre PPEB 500/61 weighs 49,420 kg.
04
Approach 100 mm/s, working speed 9 mm/s, return 80 mm/s. Those figures apply to every 5,000 kN PPEB in LVD's table.
