Scissor Grip, 50 kN, QC-32 Fitting
Scissor-action grip rated to 50 kN fitted with QC-32 connection. The locking function allows the grip to remain open when inserting the specimen.
Spring tension provides enough clamping force to prevent the specimen from slipping when initially inserted. The rated tensile force changes according to the opening width. The larger the opening width the stronger the grips tighten the specimen allowing it to be pulled to break.
Interchangeable jaws (sold separately) provide excellent gripping characteristics to ensure that a variety of materials and components can be securely held.
Most commonly used for testing high-ductile plastics and elastomers.
