These vice grips are used in tension testing on force test stands and material test systems. The force capacity of these grips is 500 lbF.
Pyramid (crosscut), rubber, wave, or v-jaws are included. A choice of 30 mm, 50 mm, 80 mm and 100 mm widths for the jaws.
The dual screw design accommodates samples up to 30 mm thick. Jaws can also be offset for asymmetrical test specimens. A T-handle is on one side and the other side can be adjusted using a hex key or twisting by hand.
This grip is designed to mount on a standard 5/8" eye end. Adapters are available to accommodate other sizes. This connection type is commonly used on test stands, load cells and force gauges.
- Force capacity: 1 kN [200 lbF]
- Jaw opening: 0-30 mm (depending on jaw choice)
- Connection: 15.9 mm (5/8") female eye end - Adapters for other sizes
- Grip body: Anodized aluminum
- Jaws: Steel, nickel-plated
