Morgan Rushworth RBM 36 Rebar Bending Machine
The Morgan Rushworth RBM 36 is a powered rebar bending machine for forming solid bar into a variety of angles and shapes. With a stated round bar bending capacity of Ø7–36 mm, it provides a practical solution for workshops producing bent bar components for fabrication, reinforcement and decorative metalwork.
Alongside conventional bar bending, the RBM 36 can be configured with suitable tooling to produce scrolls and other forms from solid bars and flat sections. This versatility makes it useful for businesses handling a mixture of functional components and ornamental work, where different jobs require different bending arrangements.
Powered bending with straightforward controls
The RBM 36 combines a 3.0 kW motor with a bending speed of 9 rpm, reducing the physical effort involved in forming solid bar. Foot pedal operation allows the operator to activate the machine while positioning and supporting the workpiece appropriately.
Manual and automatic operating modes provide flexibility for individual components and repeated work. A selector switch offers automatic bend angle settings of 45°, 90° and 180°, simplifying setup when producing commonly required bends.
Heavy-duty construction and hardened tooling
A heavy-duty frame provides a substantial platform for bending operations. The tooling and shafts are manufactured from special alloy steel with induction hardening to withstand the demands of repeated use.
The machine weighs 350 kg and measures 900 mm long, 800 mm wide and 1,100 mm high. Its compact machine footprint helps with workshop positioning, although sufficient surrounding space must also be allowed for loading, supporting and moving the bar throughout the bend.
Tooling to suit your application
Different tooling options are available to suit the required component, material section and bend shape. Whether you need straightforward angles, U-shaped components, tight-radius bends or decorative scrolls, selecting the appropriate tooling is an important part of achieving the required result.
The stated Ø7–36 mm capacity relates to round bar. Suitability for a particular job depends on the material grade, section, bend radius and tooling arrangement.
Contact Selmach with your material specification, bar dimensions and component drawing to discuss the right configuration for your application. The Morgan Rushworth RBM 36 is supplied for a 415 V electrical supply and comes with a one-year warranty.

Frequently Asked Questions
What size bar can the Morgan Rushworth RBM 36 bend?
The RBM 36 has a stated round bar bending capacity of Ø7–36 mm. The capacity for your application will depend on the material grade, bend radius and tooling used. Send Selmach your material details and component drawing so we can confirm suitability.
What bend angles can it produce?
The machine features a selector switch with automatic settings for 45°, 90° and 180° bends. Manual operation is also available. The achievable component shape and bend radius depend on the tooling arrangement and material being formed.
Can the RBM 36 produce scrolls and decorative metalwork?
Yes. With suitable tooling, the RBM 36 can form scrolls and other shapes from solid bars and flat sections. Flat-section capacity should be checked separately from the stated round bar capacity.
Does the machine have automatic and manual operation?
Yes. Both operating modes are available, together with foot pedal control. This gives operators flexibility when setting up individual bends or producing repeated components.
What electrical supply does the RBM 36 require?
The RBM 36 is specified for a 415 V electrical supply and has a 3.0 kW motor. Contact Selmach for the installation requirements before arranging the electrical connection.
What tooling do I need for my components?
Tooling selection depends on the material section, dimensions, required bend radius and finished shape. Different tooling options are available. Providing a drawing or sample component will help Selmach identify the appropriate arrangement and confirm what should be included with your machine.
