Advantage Wedge Action Grips are versatile general-purpose grips in which the faces remain stationary during loading. This makes it especially useful for applications where screw or pneumatic grips do not provide sufficient clamping force, or where compressive or buckling forces are not desirable during specimen insertion. It works with servohydraulic and electromechanical machines and even accommodates the side insertion of specimens.
Features
- Quick and easy interchangeable faces for round and flat specimens
- Self-tightening during test reduces slipping
- Specimen positioning aids
- Side loading design
- Standard pinned adapter for easy installation and removal
- Suitable for use in environmental chambers
- Improved serrations secure specimen with minimal clamping force.
Function
- Wedges
- Spring and mechanical retraction
- Easy access to wedges for quick changeover
- Preload
- Uses right-hand/left-hand thread mechanism for reducing effort
- Grip Interface
- Type D upper and lower mounting
