Grips Ideal for Thin Strips, Wires and Films with Low Breaking Strength
These 10 N capacity (2 lbf) pneumatic grips are designed for low tensile applications and work well on thin specimens with low breaking strengths like the gold wire in electronics, tungsten wire, thermocouples, gels, and plastic films.
A big advantage these grips have over other low capacity grips is that they have been designed and machined to precise tolerances, thereby eliminating side loads.
Other features include a lightweight design to let you test with your low-capacity load cells without the grips using up too much of its capacity. It also has a self-aligning feature which lets these grips check alignment even while actuated.
These grips feature dual acting, swivel faces. With dual action, both faces move simultaneously to the centerline of the grip and eliminate the bending strains on your specimen that can invalidate your test results. The ability to swivel lets these faces conform to any variation in your specimen’s geometry. The faces shown below are sold separately.
These pneumatic grips require an air supply to provide filtered, dry air and an air grip controller. They are compatible with servohydraulic and electromechanical test systems.
