Ideally suited for the metals, plastics and composites industries, Instron's line of grips includes wedge grips, axial/torsional hydraulic grips, and fatigue-rated hydraulic wedge grips Instron's wedge grips are designed to perform tensile, static and tension cyclic tests
To avoid specimen buckling, these wedge grips are designed to pre-select the exact point where the specimen will be held so no compressive force is applied.
To ensure accurate testing, grip faces remain in a fixed position and do not recoil or loosen when the specimen ruptures.
The fatigue-rated hydraulic wedge grips are designed to be used in static, dynamic and reverse stress applications.
They are available in axial-only and axial/torsional versions.
The unique side entry design ensures easy specimen loading.
To guarantee repeatable test results, these grips use hydraulic fluid to open and close the grip faces.
