Description

This small, lightweight wedge grip is ideal for tensile testing below 500N. A
spring-loaded lever ensures the serrated jaws are easy to open for fast
securing and release of samples. As load is applied the wedge action of the
jaws ensures the sample is held rigidly without slippage. When fixing to a
loadcell/gauge these wedge grips can be used with a chain link assembly
(Part No. 432-259) to provide a flexible connection with the sample,
particularly useful when testing very low forces. Jaw width is either 16mm
or 25mm (200N capacity) and a slot in the rear body allows wider samples
to be fitted, although held only over the jaw-width.
