United Testing Screw Action Grip – up to 10 kN (2250 Lbf)

The Screw Action Grip is used in tensile testing applications to secure a variety of materials for tensile testing purposes.  Screw-Action grips are designed for gripping various strip or sheet materials such as paper, foam, textiles and light metals. Moveable inserts close to accommodate samples. Also ideal for gripping lap shear specimens with offset ends.
