Faces for the 100/200 N and 2 kN (20/40 lbf and 400 lbf) pneumatic grips are available with a variety of surface coatings to accommodate a wide range of materials.
Faces for the 100/200 N and 2 kN (20/40 lbf and 400 lbf) capacity pneumatic grips are available with a variety of surface coatings so you can use your grips to test a variety of materials. The 100/200 N and 2 kN (20/40 lbf and 400 lbf) capacity grips share the same faces.
Choose The Right Surface To Improve Your Test Results
Grip-induced failure and slippage can cost you time and money, so it’s important to pick out the right faces for the material you’re testing. MTS manufactures faces for our pneumatic grips with a variety of surfaces to accommodate your specimen. Here’s a brief description of the surfaces offered:
Corrugated - for smooth specimens (textile, fabrics, tissue, leather)
Serrated - for gripping soft materials without causing failure (paper, board, aluminum, copper and steel wire, soft steels)
Rubber Coated - to offer extra protection for your thin specimens (films, fibers, aluminum)
Diamond Tipped - to provide you with an aggressive surface for gripping soft materials (soft steels, rigid plastic, wood)
Grab Test - according to international standards, including ASTM D2208 (leather), D5034 (fabrics), D1683 (woven fabrics) and ISO 5082 (fabrics)
Line Contact - faces are for rubber, latex, and cable sheath.
Faces are also available in a wide width for some grip models. All of the faces for the grips are sold in sets of four.
