Eccentrically mounted serrated rollers self-tighten on the sample when load is applied. A ball socket mounting screw in the upper grip assures proper alignment between grips.

Will handle rubber or other flat specimens 1" wide and up to 1/4" thick.  Capacity: 200 lb; Upper grip weight: 8 oz; Combined grip length: 6-1/2"

Applications: Tensile testing of narrow width rubber and fabric by stretching a sample to break and recording the relationship between force and extension.

Capable of handling specimens 3" wide and up to 1/4" thick.  Eccentrically mounted, serrated roller grips allow for self tightening of specimen when load is applied.  Ball socket mounting screw in upper grip assures proper alignment between grips. Capacity: 200 lb; Upper grip weight: 1 lb; Combined grip length: 6-1/2"

Applications: Tensile testing of standard width rubber and fabric by stretching a sample to break and recording the relationship between force and extension

With this grip, the specimen is wrapped around the bollard and the free end clamped.  Grip stresses the specimen are distributed in the material in contact with the bollard circumference.  Used on yarn, wool, man-made fibers and other threads and flexible wires.  Maximum sample diameter is 0.2" (5 mm). Bollard diameter is 1.25" (32 mm)  Capacity: 440 lb (2 kN); Minimum load cell: 10 lb (50 N); Weight: 0.5 lb (0.25 kg); Length: 3.25" (83 mm)

General Purpose, self tightening grips feature an eccentric roller design ideal for dumbbell and flat specimens. The roller operates using a basic cam jamming principle. The rollers have a cross hatched, serrated finish that help prevent slipping. Clamps hold the sample securely against the horizontally grooved back panel. Maximum sample width is 50mm (2.0 in). Maximum sample thickness is 5mm (0.2 in).

Applications: Ideal for tensile testing of sheet materials including polymers and rubbers
