Grips and Fixtures
A wide range of both provide extensive test capabilities, including tensile, peel, compression, tear, cycling, stress relaxation, insertion/extraction.
- Pneumatic Grips for uniform contact pressure. Ideal for sheet materials, including films, tapes, paper, textiles, nonwovens and tissue
- Mechanical Vice Grips for low, medium and high capacity applications. Ideal for general tensile strength testing of paper, plastics, foils, textiles and other sheet materials
- Wedge Action Vice Grips are spring loaded for effortless opening and closing. Ideal for tensile strength testing of rigid plastics and composites of flat or round samples
- Drum/Rubber Grips. Uniquely designed to securely hold flat samples of rubber, plastics and general polymers
- Yarn, Rope, Wire & Cord Grips. Specifically designed for testing thin, flexible materials. They ensure a secure hold, to maximise test result accuracy and repeatability
- Pincer Grips. Appropriate for small forces, pull off tests, tear test of components, adhesive bonds, plastic weldings (paper, plastics, rubber). Chain mounting also available for flexible positioning.
