Instron 2713-001 self tightening roller grips with 1kN (225lbf) capacity

The self-tightening grips are primarily designed for the precision testing of elastomeric and other flexible materials exhibiting a large reduction in cross-section area under load.

They provide excellent testing accuracy, positive non-slip gripping action and are quick and simple-to-use.

The upper grip is counter balanced so that the specimen can be aligned with the load cell to eliminate non-axial forces.

Principle of Operation The self-tightening grip uses a snubbing type clamping action which increases the holding force as the load increases which prevents the specimen from creeping out of the grip.

Specimen insertion is extremely easy and spring pressure of the roller bracket is sufficient to hold the material until a load is imposed.

The grips are supplied with smooth snubbing rollers, and hard rubber-covered snubbing rollers for testing of thin films.
