Single-actuator Pneumatic Grips
- Can be used for symmetrical and asymmetrical clamping of specimens
- Counter-jaws can have stepped or stepless adjustment depending on model
- Many pneumatic grips up to 1 kN have an integral control valve- no additional external pneumatic control unit required
- Most specimen grips use the dove-tail jaw-system, enabling easy, tool-free insert change
Double-actuator Pneumatic Grips
- Grips always close symmetrically to the tensile axis, saving alignment time with varying specimen thicknesses and ensuring that the specimen is gripped exactly in the test axis
- Grips mostly have a large opening width, enabling thicker specimens to be tested also
- Dove-tail jaw-system enables easy, tool-free insert change
Grips for Temperature Chambers
- Grips have special connector units for use in temperature chambers with integral compressed air feed; drip-pan provided for separate condensed-water drain from test area
- Grips can be used in a temperature range from –70 to +250 °C
- Available in both single-actuator and double-actuator versions
