±10 kN ±100 Nm Linear-Torsion Mechanical Wedge-Action Grips
2742-316
Designed to suit the ElectroPuls® E10000 Linear-Torsion, the 2742-316 mechanical wedge-action grips are suitable for tension, compression, reverse-stress, and torsion testing on a wide range of specimens and materials. The grips are mechanically operated and the open-fronted design provides easy specimen insertion, positioning, and clamping.
Principle of OperationThe single-acting wedge action principle of these grips is designed to clamp a specimen without applying a compressive load, which could cause a specimen to buckle.
The retracting movement of the grip bodies helps to reduce compressive loads that are normally caused when clamping specimens.
The open front design permits quick and easy changing of specimens and jaw faces. Jaw faces optimize gripping performance whilst the serrated faces are designed to minimize damage to the specimen surface.
