Mechanical Wedge Grips
Mechanical wedge grips are designed for testing metallic or composite objects. Grips are ideal for tensile and cyclic loading. The grips are operated by wedge action through manual rotation to loosen or tighten the objects.
Mechanical wedge action grips will be accommodated for either flat or round specimens. Griping pressure increases with the tensile force to avoid the slip between wedge faces and specimen surface during the test.
There are three types of wedge grips: mechanical, hydraulic and pneumatic wedge grips. Comparatively mechanical wedge grips are less expensive and easy installation. Let us know the in detail.
