Pneumatic Wedge Grips

Instron pneumatic wedge action grips may be used in static or dynamic materials testing applications, interchangeable wedge-shape grip faces accommodating either flat or round specimens.

The grip is designed to allow test specimens to be securely gripped without introducing axial pre-loading to the specimen. This is achieved by using jaw faces that move in a horizontal direction only, relative to the specimen.
