MTS Advantage™ Wedge Grips are versatile general-purpose grips in which the faces remain stationary during loading. This makes it especially useful for applications where screw or pneumatic grips do not provide sufficient clamping force, or where compressive or buckling forces are not desirable during specimen insertion.
Advantage Wedge Action Grips are versatile general-purpose grips in which the faces remain stationary during loading. This makes it especially useful for applications where screw or pneumatic grips do not provide sufficient clamping force, or where compressive or buckling forces are not desirable during specimen insertion. It works with servohydraulic and electromechanical machines and even accommodates the side insertion of specimens.
Quick and easy interchangeable faces for round and flat specimens
Self-tightening during test reduces slipping
Specimen positioning aids
Side loading design
Standard pinned adapter for easy installation and removal
Suitable for use in environmental chambers
Improved serrations secure specimen with minimal clamping force.
