Designed for rapid loading and consistent testing of ropes yarns and cords, it can also be used for fine wires that are flexible enough to wrap around the elliptical body. A pressure regulator device is available to allow the clamping pressure of the jaw on the tail of the sample to be adjusted to suit the sample.

All pipework, valves etc are included, we do not supply the connection to the mains supply or mains filtering or regulation.

It is recommended that non-lubricated filtered air is used. The 1.0kN clamping force is quoted at 7 bar, the maximum air pressure that can be used is 8 bar. The connection from the mains to the grip controller is by 4mm o/d semi-rigid nylon tube into a push fit connector. We supply 3 metres of this tube with each grip assembly.
