Mechanical Wedge Action Grips

Mechanical wedge action grips are ideal for testing hard, round or flat metallic or composite test samples. The wedge action design creates a highly leveraged clamping load that increases as the sample is pulled. The simplicity of our wedge action grip makes it an affordable solution for tensile testing. We offer a wide selection of options in both standard and custom engineered solutions. All of our mechanical wedge action grips will fit any brand of test machine through the use of an adapter.

Mechanical Vice Action Grips

Mechanical side action grips, also referred to as mechanical vise grips, are typically the least expensive grip in their force class because they don’t have the complexity of powered grips. Unlike pneumatic grips or hydraulic grips, they do not require additional infrastructure. Which makes them the most simple, easy to use, low maintenance and the preferred solution for testing wide width, non-elastic materials and irregular specimen geometries, including product testing applications. We offer a wide selection of options in both standard and custom engineered solutions. All of our mechanical side action grips will fit any brand of test machine through the use of an adapter.
