Film Grips, 500 N, 10-32 UNF
432-157
Used for flexible samples such as films, where conventional flat-faced grips may create stress points and so artificially reduce tensile strength. Samples are wrapped around the roller thereby spreading the load around the diameter.
Grips are supplied…

Accessory
Cable Cam Grip (large serrated), 5 kN, M10 or M12
432-108
Designed for holding insulated cables and wire. The sample is secured by the serrated cam, which self-tightens as load is applied and minimises the chance of sample slippage.
The grip body features a clearance hole and is supplied with an M10 and M12…
