JLW Instruments offers a wide variety of grips and fixtures to suit your industry and testing applications.

Connections on these grips and fixtures are threaded or have a female eye end. Grips and fixtures with a female eye end will have a 5/8" or 1.25" diameter. These sizes are standard for Lloyd Instruments, Chatillon, and Mark-10 equipment. We also sell these brands of test stands, load cells, and force gauges to use with our grips and fixtures.

We have adapters to fit our grips and fixtures to any test stand brand including Instron, MTS, Zwick, Shimpo, and more.

If you need assistance to determine which grip, fixture or adapter is needed, please contact us.



Tensile Testing Grips

Tensile testing grips are fixtures used on a universal testing machine to hold a specimen securely while it is pulled in tension. Their purpose is to prevent slipping, ensure proper alignment, and apply force evenly so the test reflects the material’s true tensile properties.

Different grip types—such as wedge grips, pneumatic grips, vise grips, and specialized fixtures—are chosen based on specimen shape, thickness, and strength.

Compression Testing Fixtures

Compression fixtures are attachments used with a testing machines to apply controlled compressive force to a specimen. They ensure proper alignment and uniform load distribution during testing, preventing bending or off-axis loading. Common types include compression platens, self-aligning fixtures, bend fixtures and specialized fixtures designed for foam, packaging, or structural materials.

Fixtures for Peel Testing, COF, and More

Thread and Eye End Adapters

Adapters are available to mount any of our grips to any brand of equipment including Instron, MTS, Zwick, Shimpo, and more.
