Pneumatic Fatigue-Rated Wedge Action Grips 2742-103

Product catalog summary
Overview: The document describes the 2742-103 pneumatic wedge action grips designed for ElectroPuls™ test instruments, suitable for tension, compression, and reverse-stress testing across various specimens and materials.
Features and Benefits:
  • Dynamic Linear Capacity: ±1 kN (±225 lbf).
  • Independent upper and lower jaw faces controlled via handset.
  • Software feedback enhances usability and control.
  • Open-fronted design for easy specimen insertion.
  • Self-tightening wedge design prevents slippage.
  • Interchangeable jaw faces for different materials and geometries.
Application Range:
  • Types of loading: Tension, compression, reverse-stress.
  • Specimen geometries: Flat or round.
  • Materials: Metallics, plastics, composites, biomaterials.
  • Temperature range: +10 to +38°C (50 to 100°F).
Principle of Operation: The grips use a single-acting wedge action principle to clamp specimens without applying compressive loads, reducing the risk of buckling. The open front design allows for quick specimen changes, and serrated jaw faces minimize surface damage.
Specifications:
  • Maximum Force Capacity: ±1 kN (±225 lbf).
  • Grip Mass: 0.7 kg (1.54 lbs).
Compatible Accessories:
  • Catalog Number 2718-013: Pneumatic Air Kit for ElectroPuls Test.
  • Jaw Faces: Flat and round options with specific clamping areas.
Additional Information: The document includes proprietary rights notices and compliance with the RoHS Directive.

Pneumatic Fatigue-Rated Wedge Action Grips 2742-103-1

±1 kN Pneumatic Fatigue-Rated Wedge Action Grips 2742-103 Designed to suit ElectroPuls™ test instruments, the 2742-103 pneumatic wedge action grips are suitable for tension, compression and reverse-stress testing on a wide range of specimens and materials. The grips are pneumatically operated directly from the machine handset and the open-fronted design provides easy specimen insertion, positioning and clamping. Features and Benefits • Dynamic Linear Capacity: ±1 kN (±225 lbf) • Independent upper and lower jaw faces opening and closing via the handset • Enhanced usability thanks to software feedback of grip status • Enhanced control and repeatability of specimen gripping • Suitable for tension and compression, including full reverse-stress dynamic testing • Open-fronted design for quick and easy specimen insertion from the front • Self-tightening, moving body wedge design eliminates slippage and prevents specimen loading • Interchangeable jaw faces for gripping different materials and specimen geometries and sizes Application Range • Types of loading: Tension, compression or reverse-stress testing • Specimen geometries: Flat or round specimens • Specimen material: Metallics, plastics, composites, biomaterials • Temperature range: +10 to +38°C (50 to 100°F) 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 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 retracting movement of the grip bodies helps to reduce compressive loads that are normally cau
