Grips provide specimen loading, alignment, and positioning.
Mechanical Wedge Action Grips are rated at 50 kN and feature fixed faces, movable bodies, and slack-free connection to test instrument. Self-tightening action minimizes slippage and enables operator to apply minimial initial clamping force. Grip faces are spring-loaded in fixed position, so there is no recoil or loosening. Grip frames ensure rapid clamping and unclamping action. Interchangeable...
