smarTens 2.5 IS-L with pneum. grips for film testing
Pneumatic bollard grip, upto 10 kN, specimen diameter upto 3 mm
small pneum. grip upto 200 N, Jaw clamping surface 25x25 (50) mm
Pneuatic grip, clamping force 7 kN Jaw clamping surface 40x60 (100) mm
small pneum. grip upto 100 N, Jaw clamping surface 15x15 mm

Pneumatic grips

For low or medium test loads we offer different kind of pneumatically operated grips which are working single or double sided. The clamping jaws are exchangeable and available in different versions (shape, surface structure and material) to cover all needs to get a slipping free test.

Vice grip upto 10 or 20 kN, Jaw clamping surface 40x60 (100) mm
Vice grip upto 5 kN, Jaw clamping surfcae 30x50 ...200 mm
Vice grip upto 1 kN, Jaw clamping surface 30x30 mm
Small vice grip upto 100 N, Jaw clamping surface 15x15 mm
Yarn grip upto 2,5 kN

Screw grips

These screw grips are operated manually via screw drive principle. One gripping jaw can be set in a fixed position; the other jaw is operated by a screw drive. Different jaws (fixed or exchangeable) are available to cover different applications.

Screw wedge grip upto 10 kN, Jaw clamping surfcae 45x45 mm
Wedge grip upto 50 kN

Wedge grips

For medium or higher test loads we offer different kind of mechanically operated wedge grips which are actuated manually via a lever, which is pressed against the specimen. The preload is generated by spring inside the clamping system. During the test the gripping force increase with the increasing tensile force. The clamping jaws are exchangeable and available in different versions (shape, surface structure and material) to cover all needs to get a slipping free test.

3-Point bendig fixture mounted on a 5 kN smarTens UTM
3-Point bendig fixture with sensor to measure the deflection on the specimen
3-Point bending device for tests according ISO 310

Vices for flexural test

Flexure or bending (3- or 4 point) tests can be carried out in 3- or 4-point way. Depending on the standard and the dimensions of the specimens, we offer different tables with different span (adjustable) and heads with different radius.
