Collection: Split-Drum Tensile Grips

Split-drum tensile grips safely clamp high-capacity flexible bands, industrial webbing, and seatbelts by wrapping specimens around a cylindrical spool to eliminate jaw breaks.

Featuring a split cylindrical spool design, these specialized grips dissipate severe tensile loads across a large surface area using friction before pinning the material tail. This prevents specimen crushing or premature stress-concentration breaks at the grip jaws.

Ideal for testing high-strength ribbons, safety cargo straps, technical textiles, and heavy-duty synthetic webbing, split-drum tensile grips ensure true axial loading across universal testing machines and comply with standards such as ASTM D6775, ASTM D1388, and ISO 2062.
