Press machine having suspension mechanism

A press machine comprising:

• a slider;
• a suspension mechanism connected to the slider;
• and
• a drive mechanism which reciprocates the slider through the suspension mechanism,
• wherein the suspension mechanism includes:
• at least one first component having a first face and a second face dynamically opposing the first face, the first component receiving a pressing power;
• at least one second component having a third face opposing the first face through a first clearance, and a fourth face opposing the second face through a second clearance;
• a passageway communicating between the first and second clearances;
• and
• a fluid which is pressurized and charged into the first and second clearances and the passageway, and
• wherein a first pressure layer filled with the fluid is formed in the first clearance in a non-press load producing time, the fluid is flowed by a pressure increased in the first clearance into the second clearance through the passageway to form a second pressure layer filled with the fluid in a press load producing time, and disappearance of the first clearance and the first pressure layer brings the first and third faces into direct contact with each other, whereby the pressing power is transmitted from the at least one first component to the at least one second component through the direct contact between the first and third faces.
