Wedge Tensile Grips

Explore our high-performance manual, pneumatic, and hydraulic wedge tensile grips engineered for static and dynamic tension testing across plastics, metals, and composite materials.

  • Manual Wedge Tensile Grips

    Mechanical, self-tightening wedge action for static tension testing up to 500 kN. Ideal for high-strength metallic and rigid composite specimens.

    • Capacity: 10 kN to 500 kN (2,2500 lbf to 112,500 lbf)
    • Actuation: Mechanical hand-crank, screw-action, or lever
    • Best For: Static tension testing of metals and rigid composites

  • Pneumatic Wedge Tensile Grips

    Pneumatically actuated wedge jaws for rapid sample clamping, repeatable gripping force, and high-throughput production testing.

    • Capacity: 10 kN to 300 kN (2,250 lbf to 67,000 lbf)
    • Actuation: Dual air cylinders (6 bar pneumatic supply)
    • Best For: High-volume batch testing, consistent repeatability, and rapid specimen loading

  • Hydraulic Wedge Tensile Grips

    High-capacity hydraulic clamping engineered for extreme load applications up to 300 kN. Features synchronized jaw closure.

    • Capacity: 25 kN to 1000 kN (5,600 lbf to 225,000 lbf)
    • Actuation: Integrated hydraulic pump / synchronized jaw closure
    • Best For: Extreme high-force metallic testing and heavy structural components
