Wedge Loading Grips
WG Series of Wedge Type Tensile Grips
The
WG series of tensile grips are available in five sizes for
testing applications over the
range from 5,000 lb (25 kN) up to 100,000 lb (440 kN). These grips feature a sturdy
aluminum mono block construction for a strong and light weight design. The dependable no
slip, no creep
design places controlled pressure across the entire grip width for a
firm and
even grasp. The ambidextrous handles on the manual version of
the grips allow for either
right or left handed operation and feature an automatic locking device for hands free
monitoring.
Grips
can be ordered with either flat gripping inserts or V notched inserts
for testing round
specimens. Different serration patterns are
available for gripping a wide range of material
hardnesses. In
addition to the manually operated style, the grips may also be
ordered in a
pneumatic version for greater testing speed and ease.
The pneumatic version requires a
filtered dry air source with a 100 psi minimum pressure.
