Tensile Grips

Tensile Mechanical Grips

Screw Side Opening Grips offer affordable and efficient solutions to gripping tensile test specimens at loads up to 11,250 lb (50 kN). Most products feature interchangeable jaws or faces to handle the wide range of round, flat and irregular sample types and geometries. Smooth surface, rubber faced, serrated or pyramid cut, V cut for rounds, wave or corrugated surfaces for slippery samples such as textiles and tissues, and diamond grit surfaces.

Wedge Action Grips

Wedge grips are available in hydraulic, mechanical lever arm, and pneumatic loading. They feature easy specimen loading, self alignment, centerline sample positioning and higher force capacity than side acting grips. Wedge gripping forces increases as load goes up, so they are ideal when high clamp load is needed – such as gripping difficult to hold materials.

Spring Loaded Grips

Pincher Grips
Scissor Grips
Roller Grips

Pincher and Scissor grips are ideal for soft materials that experience a large reduction in cross-section area under load, including elastomers such as foam or dogbone flat samples of flexible plastics. Eccentric roller grips feature a self-tightening clamp action ideal for flat samples of thin sheets, films, flexible plastics and elastomers.

       

Pneumatic Tensile Grips

Air cylinders are added to side opening grips and used in lever arm designs, wedge style, and specialty applications where precision clamping, high load clamping or process repeatability are important. They serve static tensile and cyclic tension testing applications involving foils, threads, fine wires, fabric, thin sheets, films, plastic tapes, and soft materials. Our product line is modular and so cylinders can be supplied in different applications.
