Standard Industrial Hydraulic Shears

Built entirely in the U.S.A., Standard Industrial’s AS Series shears are true hydraulic guillotine machines engineered for uncompromising strength, accuracy, and longevity. Featuring a bellcrank linkage system, easy-access off-the-shelf components, and heavy-duty design, these shears offer unmatched value in the fabrication industry.

Why Choose the AS Series?

  • American-made: 100% manufactured in the USA with premium components
  • Versatile performance: Designed for a wide range of cutting applications
  • Heavy-duty construction: True guillotine hydraulic shear with full stroke tonnage
  • Long-term support: 5-year parts warranty + lifetime service access

Core Features

Bellcrank Linkage System

Each AS model uses a single large-bore hydraulic cylinder to power a bellcrank linkage drive, delivering full cutting force across the entire table. This eliminates swing-beam balancing issues and ensures clean, distortion-free shears with every cycle.

Blade Gap Adjustment & Gibbing

Models 14 feet and longer (or ½” capacity and up) include a front-operated, infinitely variable power blade gap system. Oil-impregnated Nylatron guides and precision-machined gibs ensure long-term accuracy with minimal wear or heat buildup.

Serviceability & Component Access

All electrical and hydraulic parts are common, non-proprietary components from trusted brands like Siemens and Vickers—guaranteeing future availability and serviceability.
