Tensile test with wedge type grips

Wedge type grips are suitable for tensile tests on flat and round specimens, such as sheets, rods, profiles, strips, wires.
Features of wedge-type grips for tensile tests:
Quick and easy specimen handling - ideal for testing flat and round specimens
Clamping force increases proportionally with tensile force due to wedge effect
Suitable for symmetrical clamping
Specimen depth stop for centric clamping
Exchangeable jaw inserts for different specimen dimensions
Compact jaws for maximum clamping contact surface or modular jaw concept for high-strength specimens up to 1900 MPa
Coupling of additional test tools, load cells or special clamping devices possible via coupling slide
