Bollard Grips Bollard grips are suitable for a wide range of samples such as fibre, yarn, thread, rope, string and strapping tape. The grips are designed so that the sample can be wrapped around the bollards and clamped at one end. This helps to reduce the sample suffering a jaw break and spreads the load around the bollard by introducing friction to the sample.
Eccentric Roller Grips These eccentric roller grips are specifically designed for tensile testing flexible materials, such as rubber and soft and semi-hard plastics. Named after the non-symmetric roller design, these grips employ a simple and quick clamping mechanism. They also have a self-tightening action, which maintains clamping of the specimen during testing regardless of any thickness reduction. In addition, the upper and lower grip faces are parallel grooved to help hold these soft materials.
Vice Style Grips Screw action, or manual mechanical vice style grips provide a simple and effective way of gripping test specimens. They are successful and affordable and serve a wide range of applications. The grips feature interchangeable dual-acting jaw faces that can be adjusted to handle different specimen thicknesses
Wedge Grips The closing force is proportional to the tensile force (self-gripping).Wedge grips always close symmetrically with respect to the tensile axis.Long clamping length and good jaw guiding properties allow contact pressure on the specimen to be kept to a minimum.High temperature resistance and low overall height makes specimen grips ideal for use in temperature chambers.The wedge grip design ensures fast and energy-saving operation using a lever.
