Product catalog summary
Features
  • Fatigue-rated capacity: ±10 kN (linear), ±100 Nm (torsion).
  • Suitable for linear and torsion tension and compression testing, including full reverse-stress dynamic tests.
  • Open-fronted design for quick and easy specimen insertion.
  • Interchangeable jaw faces for gripping different materials and specimen sizes.
  • No attachment kits required when mounting to ElectroPuls E10000 Linear-Torsion.
Principle of Operation
  • Single-acting wedge action clamps specimens without applying compressive load to prevent buckling.
  • Retracting grip bodies reduce compressive loads during clamping.
  • Open front design allows quick specimen and jaw face changes, optimizing gripping performance while minimizing specimen surface damage.
Application Range
  • Loading types: Linear and torsion tension, compression, or reverse-stress testing.
  • Specimen materials: Metallics, plastics, composites, biomaterials.
  • Specimen geometries: Flat or round specimens.

10 kN Linear Torsion Mechanical Grips 2742-306-1

±10 kN ±100 Nm Linear-Torsion Mechanical Wedge-Action Grips Designed to suit the ElectroPuls™ E10000 Linear-Torsion, the 2742-306 mechanical wedge-action grips are suitable for tension, compression, reverse-stress, and torsion testing on a wide range of specimens and materials. The grips are mechanically operated and the open-fronted design provides easy specimen insertion, positioning, and clamping. Application Range • Fatigue-rated capacity: ±10 kN (linear), ±100 Nm (torsion) • Type of loading: Linear and Torsion tension, compression or reverse-stress testing • Suitable for both linear and torsion tension and compression testing, including full reverse-stress dynamic tests • Open-fronted design for quick and easy specimen insertion • Interchangeable jaw faces for gripping different materials and specimen sizes • Specimen material: Metallics, Plastics, Composites, Biomaterials • Specimen geometries: Flat or round specimens • Temperature range: -70 to +350°C (-94 to 662°F) • Requires no attachment kits when mounting to ElectroPuls E10000 Linear-Torsion Principle of Operation • The single-acting wedge action principle of these grips is designed to clamp a specimen without applying a compressive load, which could cause a specimen to buckle • The open front design permits quick and easy changing of specimens and jaw faces. Jaw faces optimize gripping performance whilst the serrated faces are designed to minimize damage to the specimen surface Accessories for Materials Testing • The retracting movement of the grip bodies helps to reduce compressive loads that are normally cau
