How much does the Yawei PBH(A)-160/5100 cost?
Price estimate
We do not have a price for the Yawei PBH(A)-160/5100 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 Yawei PBH(A)-160/5100 opens the PBH(A) heavy-duty press brake table: 1,600 kN of nominal force spread over a 5,100 mm (200.8 in) table. No other model on the page has less force, and the only shorter tables on the page belong to much heavier machines.
That combination says what the machine is for. It is a long-part brake for thin and medium sheet, the kind of work Yawei names in its application list for the series: lift panels, metal curtain wall cassettes, electrical enclosures. Force per metre is modest, so thick plate at full length is not its job.
Between the columns there is 4,200 mm (165.4 in), and the throat is 410 mm (16.1 in) deep. A part longer than the column spacing can still be bent, provided the flange behind the tooling stays within the throat. The slider stroke is 215 mm (8.5 in) under a maximum opening height of 450 mm (17.7 in).
Slider speeds are printed as 120 mm/s; 10 mm/s; 90 mm/s. The middle figure, the pressing speed, is the highest in the PBH(A) table, which is what a light-force machine with an 11 kW (14.8 hp) motor should deliver. Yawei describes an electro-hydraulic servo system with fully closed-loop control of ram synchronisation, a crowning system in the worktable and throat deformation compensation.
Two weights are printed, 20,000 / 17,200 kg (44,092 / 37,919 lb), with no note on what separates them. Either way it is a five-metre machine that needs a planned foundation and lift.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- 5,100 mm (200.8 in) table on the lightest frame of the series
- Pressing speed of 10 mm/s, the fastest in the PBH(A) table
- Worktable crowning and throat deformation compensation are described for the series
- 11 kW (14.8 hp) main motor and a 400 L oil tank, the smallest on the page
- Backgauge on a digital AC servo motor with ball screw and linear guide
Limitations
- 1,600 kN over five metres limits plate thickness at full length
- Slider stroke of 215 mm (8.5 in) restricts deep boxes and tall tooling
- Return speed of 90 mm/s is lower than the PBH(A)-220/5100 lists
- Two weights are printed without an explanation of the difference

Frequently Asked Questions
01
Nominal force is 1,600 kN and the table is 5,100 mm (200.8 in) long. Column spacing is 4,200 mm (165.4 in), throat opening 410 mm (16.1 in), slider stroke 215 mm (8.5 in) and maximum opening height 450 mm (17.7 in).
02
The PBH(A)-220/5100 uses the same table length, column spacing, throat and stroke with 2,200 kN of force and a 15 kW (20.1 hp) motor. This model has 1,600 kN and 11 kW (14.8 hp), and a slightly faster pressing speed.
03
The table prints the total weight as 20,000 / 17,200 kg (44,092 / 37,919 lb). Yawei does not say what the two figures stand for, so the configuration behind each has to be confirmed with the quotation.
04
Overall dimensions are 5,400 x 1,850 x 3,350 mm (212.6 x 72.8 x 131.9 in) as length, width and height. Room for the backgauge, sheet supports and the operator's swing of a five-metre part comes on top of that.
