Instron offers a variety of grips suitable for performing tensile tests on a wide range of microelectronic components and assemblies including leads, wires, and irregularly shaped products.
Pneumatic Side Action Tensile Grips
Pneumatic action grips clamp the specimen through dual side action movement, actuated by an air cylinder built into the grip body. Gripping force can be controlled by adjusting the input air pressure and remains constant even if the specimen contracts in the gripped area providing the ultimate in 'follow-up' action.

Micro Pneumatic Side Action Tensile Grips
The micro pneumatic side action grips have one fixed and one moving face that is actuated with a footswitch, freeing up the operator's hands for accurate specimen placement. The grips have a large access area making them ideal for loading miniature specimens such as fine wires, thin films, or single filaments.
