The MTS Advantage™ Screw Grip offers versatility and a high clamp force. This makes it especially good for applications where pneumatic grips do not provide sufficient clamping force. It works with servohydraulic and electromechanical machines and even accommodates the side insertion of specimens.
Side loading design » Suitable for use in environmental chambers
An alignment guide to ensure concentricity
Right or left hand operation
Ability to test lap shear specimens
Faces are compatible with pneumatic grips
Flexible mounting allows adapters to be easily changed
Accommodates threaded configurations
Approximately twice the clamp force of comparably rated pneumatic grips
Interchangeable, resilient pucks to allow follow-through action, to compensate for specimen neck-down, minimize damage to delicate specimens, and increase clamp load for difficult specimens
Can be used in a fixed (one side follows through) and non-fixed (both sides follow through) configuration
Room to hold flexible specimens above and below the faces
Knurled screw for hand tightening of specimen during installation
Low profile grip body increases test space
Faces pivot for self alignment and reduced likelihood of breakage at the specimen face contact
Temperature range of -129°C to 200°C (-200°F to 400°F) when using the aluminum version of the pucks described above.
