• 5kN Wedge Grip Datasheet (PDF)

This wedge grip is ideal for tensile testing below 5000N of flat and rigid materials including plastics, rubber and light metals.  A spring-loaded lever ensures the serrated jaws are easy to open for fast loading and release of samples up to 25mm wide and 8mm thick.  As load is applied the wedge action of the jaws ensures the sample is held rigidly without slippage.

Capacity

5kN (500kgf, 1100lbf)
