Special compression fixtures

Special compression fixtures have been specially designed to meet the challenges of a particular application.

The requirements for the fixture can be defined in an international test standard (eg ISO and / or ASTM standards for compressive shear tests). Or they may come from industry demands to provide a suitable device for holding certain components (eg long flexible springs).

Mecmesin offers a range of dedicated compressive fixtures that meet general requirements. For non-standard applications, a team of design engineers is available to work with you to find a solution that meets your technical and budgetary requirements.
