Pedrick A Series Pipe, Tube, and Solid Bar Stock Bending Machines

Established 1875

Pedrick Model A-1 Bending Machine
The Model A-1 is the smallest bender manufactured by Pedrick. We call it "The Small Wonder". It was designed in response to requests for a benchtop bender for smaller materials. It is very popular for hydraulic tubing, furniture tubing (1 inch OD), and a variety of manufacturing applications requiring bending of small metal rods and straps. This bender is manufactured with the same high quality components as its larger counterparts. We use heat treated alloy steel forgings, spherical roller bearings, NEMA 12 electrics, and right-angle, helical gear drives. The bender to the right is shown bending 7/8 inch OD CREW tubing to a 2 5/8 inch (3D) centerline radius. In addition it is shown with optional auxiliary limit switches and a selector switch for multiple angle selection.

Pedrick Model A-3 Tube and Pipe Bender
The Model A-3 is the smallest of the floor mounted benders manufactured by Pedrick. Like all Pedrick benders, it is a rotary head compression bender that is driven with a mechanical drive. It produces 9,000 inch pounds of bending moment. It is capable of bending 1 1/4 inch schedule 40 pipe. It is popular for many furniture and extrusion bending applications. This model shares the same platform as the Model A-5 shown. They both provide a very large bending capacity with a small footprint.

Pedrick Model A-5 Tube and Pipe Bender
The Model A-5 Bender has the same housing as the Model A-3, with heavier gears, bearings and a 5 HP geardrive. It has the capacity to bend 2 inch schedule 40 IPS and #12 rebar. This machine is very popular for handrail applications. Pedrick benders can be tooled to bend a variety of materials including channels, rectangular tube, structurals, and many others. The adjacent bender and insertshow an application for bending 1 inch OD solid barstock to 1/2 inch inside radius. These parts are used for lifting eyes for concrete products.

Pedrick Model A-7 Tube and Pipe Bender
The Model A-7 is the most popular bender manufactured by Pedrick. It is a heavy duty version of the Model A-5. The Model A-7's primary application is for bending 1/2 inch - 2 inch schedule 80 pipe for small bore process piping for plant maintenance. The 28,500 inch-lbs. bending moment is very large and as a result this bender is used to bend many heavy and difficult sections. The photograph to the right shows an unusual bending application. A large aluminum company uses a Model A-7 to bend 2 inch OD 6061 T-O solid aluminum barstock to an extremely tight radius, 0-180 degrees! The resultant bend was used as a forging blank.
