Heavy-duty Vice Grip, Single Action, 10kN, QC-20 Fitting
Mechanical Vice Grips apply a clamping force by manually tightening parallel jaw faces directly onto the specimen. Single-action vice grips allow one jaw to be set in position to align the specimen around the central axis and the other jaw to be freely adjustable to clamp it in place. Consequently, they are best suited for tensile testing of symmetrical specimens which do not vary greatly in thickness.
The Mec154 Heavy-duty Vice Grips are rated to either 10kN (aluminum body) or 20kN (steel body) and available in with jaw openings ranging from up to 0-34 mm depending on the jaw types selected. An extensive collection of interchangeable, high-performance jaws with differing surface profiles provides excellent gripping characteristics to ensure that a variety of materials and components can be securely held.
Ideal for tension tests below 20kN on a range of materials including flat strips of metal, rigid plastics, plus non-woven and general fabrics.
