The models with synchronisation are symmetrically closing through one hand operation. The synchronization can be switched on/off allowing to test both symmetrical and asymmetrical specimens or for example bonded shear
specimens.
In the non-synchronized versions, which are also suitable for clamping asymmetric specimens such as bonded shear specimens, the left and
right are closed and opened separately.
The models without synchronisation allows also to grip asymmetrically specimens such as bonded specimens.
Features

Available for tensile forces up to 250 kN
Available with or without synchronization
Available with side or front hand wheels
Proportional increase of the clamping force
(self-clamping) to the applied tensile force.
Easy insertion of the specimens thanks to
the open front design
The design allows short specimens to be
gripped
Long clamping length that minimizes the
surface pressure
Quick and easy change between the
different jaws without tools
Low overall height and low mass
Flat jaws with sample stops for quick and
precise specimen loading
A hexagonal adapter enables the specimens
tob e preloaded using a torque wrench
Offers various coupling elements for
compression or bending fixtures or smaller
grips.
Suitable for strain rate control tests
according to ISO 6892-1 and ASTM E8
