For Tensile Testing Thin Sheets, Films, Flexible Plastics, Rubber, and Elastomers The self-tightening grips are primarily designed for the precision testing of elastomeric and other flexible materials exhibiting a large reduction in cross-section area under load. They provide excellent testing accuracy, positive non-slip gripping action and are quick and simple to use. The upper grip is counter balanced so that the specimen can be aligned with the load cell to eliminate non-axial forces. Principle of Operation The self tightening grip uses an eccentric roller type clamping action. A single fast action lever reduces the time required to load specimens. Specimen insertion is extremely easy and the spring pressures of the roller bracket gives a positive non-slip action gripping force. This is sufficient to hold the material until a load is applied. The follow up action of the roller while under test prevents the specimen from slipping out of the grip as the load increases. Application Range Type of loading: tensile, static, and tension cyclic tests - not suitable for high cycle dynamic fatigue tests Specimen materials: thin sheets, films, flexible plastic and elastomers Specimen shapes: flat specimen with or without shoulder tab ends
