Vice fixture for mounting to the base of a test stand when performing tension and compression tests. It has three jaws, two vertically spaced on one side, clamping with a single jaw at mid-height. The double jaw is precisely adjusted with a screw-action handle to set it in a fixed lateral position. The single jaw is moveable with it being locked and unlocked into place by a toggle-action lever. This allows for quick loading and release of the test sample.

V-jaw Vice Clamps, QC fitting

Axial alignment is achieved by lateral adjustment of the clamping component in the dovetail support, locked with a thumbwheel. Both versions feature a borehole for connection to a QC-20 fixing post.
