Wedge Grip (Large), 5 kN, 5-16 UNC Thread
The 5 kN Wedge Grip is ideal for tensile testing of flat and rigid materials, including plastics, rubber, and light metals.
A spring-loaded lever ensures the serrated jaws (25mm wide x 32mm high) are easy to open for fast securing and release of samples. As load is applied, the self-tightening action of the wedge jaws ensures the sample is held rigidly without slippage.
Fitted with a 5-16 UNC threaded hole and grub-screw for fixing to a loadcell/gauge or base plate of a test stand.
