Press arrangement

A press arrangement comprising:

• a press table,
• a punch means,
• adjusting means for selectively adjusting a distance between said punch means and said press table including
• a rotatable threaded nut mounted in said punch means so as to be axially fixed with respect thereto, and
• a non-rotatable threaded bolt means cooperating with said rotatable threaded nut and mounted in said punch means so as to be axially displaceable therein,
• connecting means for connecting a first end of said threaded bolt means with a drive element of the press arrangement, and
• tension creating means arranged in said punch means and cooperating with a second end of said threaded bolt means for selectively creating constantly-acting tension on said adjusting means, said tension creating means including
• a single pressure space means, provided in said punch means, for selectively receiving a supply of a pressure medium during a pressing operation of said punch means, said pressure space means being selectively relievable in order to release said punch means in event of seizure, and said pressure space means being disposed directly in a path of force transmitting power between said connecting means and a lower portion of said punch means to a workpiece.
