Advantage 100/200 N & 2 kN Pneumatic Grips

Designed for testing thin sheets, films, and tapes, these 100/200 N and 2 kN (20/40 lbf and 400 lbf) pneumatic grips will let you perform tests with your low capacity load cells without taking up too much of your load cell's capacity.

Both models feature dual acting grip faces that simultaneously move to the centerline of the grip. This assures correct specimen alignment and removes the bending strains that can invalidate your test results.

The design of these grips lets you quickly and easily load and align your specimens, so you can spend less time loading specimens and more time testing. They also feature an area above the grip faces that is large enough for you to load the specimens while holding them with your fingers.

These grips use standard pin connectors for the connection to the baseplate and load cells and can be used with servohydraulic or electromechanical test systems.

• Versatile, high-performance pneumatic vise grips designed for a wide range of tensile applications
• Designed and machined to precise tolerances, eliminating side loads
• Lightweight to perform low force tests while minimizing your low-capacity load cell's capacity
• Dual-acting grip faces simultaneously move to the centerline of the grip to ensure correct specimen alignment and eliminate bending strains
• Grips are sold in pairs
• All specimen interfaces ("faces") are sold separately
• Operation requires a dry, filtered air supply sold separately
• Pneumatic gripping controller sold separately
• Applications: Tensile testing of low-breaking-strength specimens, thin sheets, films, tapes, elastomers, plastics, rigid and semi-rigid films and sheets
