The MTS Advantage™ Screw Grip offers versatility and a high clamp force. This makes it especially good for applications where pneumatic grips do not provide sufficient clamping force. It works with servohydraulic and electromechanical machines and even accommodates the side insertion of specimens.

TECHNICAL OVERVIEW

  • Quick and easy interchangeable faces
  • Side loading design » Suitable for use in environmental chambers
  • An alignment guide to ensure concentricity
  • Right or left hand operation
  • Ability to test lap shear specimens
  • Faces are compatible with pneumatic grips
  • Flexible mounting allows adapters to be easily changed
  • Accommodates threaded configurations
  • Approximately twice the clamp force of comparably rated pneumatic grips
  • Interchangeable, resilient pucks to allow follow-through action, to compensate for specimen neck-down, minimize damage to delicate specimens, and increase clamp load for difficult specimens
  • Can be used in a fixed (one side follows through) and non-fixed (both sides follow through) configuration
  • Room to hold flexible specimens above and below the faces
  • Knurled screw for hand tightening of specimen during installation
  • Low profile grip body increases test space
  • Faces pivot for self alignment and reduced likelihood of breakage at the specimen face contact
  • Temperature range of -129°C to 200°C (-200°F to 400°F) when using the aluminum version of the pucks described above.
