Mechanical Vise Screw Action Grips

Mechanical or manual screw action grips offer basic, affordable and efficient solutions to gripping static tensile test specimens and samples at moderate loads (to 11,250 lb (50 kN)). Screw action vise or vice style designs are available with either dual acting or single acting adjustability. Most mechanical vise grips feature side opening test sample loading with hand tightened interchangeable jaws or faces to handle the wide range of round, flat and irregular sample types and geometries. Smooth surface, rubber faced, serrated or pyramid cut, V cut for rounds, wave or corrugated surfaces for slippery samples such as textiles and tissues, and diamond grit surfaces. Mechanical screw action grips and grippers are used to plastics, metals, textiles, paper, thin sheet films, metal foil, and wire.
