The 10 kN (2.2 kip) capacity pneumatic grips are designed for performing tensile tests on a variety of materials including elastomers, plastics, rigid and semi-rigid films, and sheets.
These grips feature dual acting grip faces that simultaneously move to the center-line of the grip. This feature assures correct specimen alignment and removes the bending strains on your specimens that can invalidate test results.
In addition to these two unique features, these grips save you time by offering quick and easy specimen insertion. This lets you spend less time inserting and aligning specimens and more time testing. Both models also feature a constant clamping load to protect your specimens from damage due to slippage.
A pneumatic controller (see below), available with foot-control to free up both hands for more accurate specimen alignment, and an air supply to provide dry, filtered air are required to operate these grips. The 10 kN Advantage Pneumatic grips share the same faces as the Model 647.02B. They are available for flat, round, or vee specimens with a variety of surfaces. They can be used with servohydraulic or electromechanical test systems.
