Morgan Rushworth MBR Manual Sheet Bending Rolls
The Morgan Rushworth MBR Manual Sheet Bending Rolls are designed to deliver exceptional performance in heavy-duty sheet metal bending applications. Built to handle materials with thicknesses ranging from 1.0mm to 3.0mm and with a maximum bending length of up to 2050mm, the MBR range is engineered for precision, reliability, and versatility. These machines are particularly suited to workshops and fabrication environments that require consistent, high-quality results for a variety of bending tasks.
The rugged cast iron frame is a standout feature of the MBR range, providing unmatched durability and ensuring a long working life. Designed to withstand the stresses of daily use, even in demanding industrial settings, the frame offers a stable base for accurate and repeatable bending operations. The MBR machines are not only built to last but also to maintain their precision over time, making them a reliable investment for any metalworking facility.
Advanced Design for Superior Results
At the heart of the MBR range is an asymmetric roll configuration, a design choice that significantly enhances the machine’s functionality. This configuration enables precise pre-bending of materials, which is essential for minimising flat spots at the edges of metal sheets. By pre-bending the material before the rolling process, operators can achieve cleaner, more uniform cylindrical shapes. This feature is particularly useful for industries where precision and aesthetics are crucial, such as automotive, aerospace, and decorative metalworking.
The top roll slip design is another key feature that sets the MBR range apart. This mechanism allows the top roll to be easily removed or adjusted, enabling the smooth extraction of finished cylindrical components. Whether working on fully closed cylinders or complex curved shapes, this feature streamlines the workflow and reduces downtime. The combination of pre-bending capability and top roll slip functionality ensures that the MBR range is both versatile and efficient, meeting the diverse needs of modern workshops.

- Construction and Structural Work: Forming curved beams, panels, and decorative elements for buildings.
- General Fabrication: Creating cylindrical, conical, or curved shapes for custom projects or repair work.
The MBR range’s versatility ensures that it can meet the requirements of both large-scale production facilities and smaller workshops. Its ability to handle materials of varying thicknesses and lengths makes it a go-to solution for businesses that need reliable performance across different projects.
Ease of Operation
Despite their advanced features, the MBR Manual Bending Rolls are designed with simplicity and usability in mind. The controls are intuitive, allowing operators of varying experience levels to use the machine effectively. Clear markings and adjustable settings make it easy to configure the machine for different tasks, ensuring consistent results every time.
The top roll slip mechanism not only enhances functionality but also simplifies the overall operation of the machine. By enabling quick and effortless removal of finished components, this feature minimises downtime and maximises productivity. Operators can easily switch between tasks, making the MBR range an efficient addition to any workshop.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Morgan Rushworth MBR range designed for?
The Morgan Rushworth MBR Manual Sheet Bending Rolls range is intended for manual rolling of sheet-metal cylinders and curved sections. Selmach can review your material, component dimensions and expected throughput to confirm whether it is suitable.
What bending capacity and working length are available?
The Selmach product listing describes up to 2050 mm bending length, with capacity varying by model. Capacity is not a single universal thickness rating: it changes with the exact model, material yield strength, bending length and required finished diameter. Check the model specification before ordering.
Can this machine pre-bend the ends of a sheet?
The range uses an asymmetric configuration and slip top roll. Pre-bending performance depends on the chosen model and material; provide a drawing if minimising the straight section at the sheet ends is important.
How is the machine operated and adjusted?
The published configuration includes manual rotation, manual side-roll adjustment and round-bar grooves. Confirm the exact controls and any optional adjustments on the quotation, especially if repeat settings are required.
Can it roll stainless steel or aluminium?
Suitability depends on the material grade, yield strength, thickness and required diameter. Published capacities are generally based on specified reference material strengths, so Selmach should check your application before you assume the same thickness rating for stainless steel or aluminium.
What is the minimum diameter the machine can roll?
Minimum achievable diameter depends on roll geometry, material properties, thickness and the model selected. Share the desired inside or outside diameter and material details with Selmach for confirmation; a maximum thickness rating alone does not establish the minimum rolling diameter.
Who is this model best suited to?
This range is particularly relevant to workshops preferring manual control for occasional or varied rolling. Selmach can compare it with other manual, powered or hydraulic bending rolls where production volume, pre-bending or component handling may justify a different configuration.
Are servicing and maintenance plans available?
Selmach can discuss preventative maintenance and service-plan options for this machine. The scope, eligibility, visits and response arrangements depend on the machine and the plan quoted; ask Selmach to confirm what is available for your installation.
