Pneumatic grips
Controlled clamping with compressed air - versatile and efficient
Advantages of pneumatic grips:
- versatile application possibilities:
- suitable for testing fibers, foils, paper, textiles, plastics, strips, tapes, wires
- suitable for materials sensitive to clamping forces
- high efficiency for testing large quantities
- low changeover effort when testing different specimens
- constant and optimally adjustable reproducible pretensioning force
- constant controllable gripping force over the entire test
- cost-effective, lighter and smaller required space compared to hydraulic grips
- ergonomic operation either by hand or foot switch
- depending on the design (single-sided or double-sided closing), both symmetrical and asymmetrical clamping possible
Selection of pneumatic grips:
Single-sided pneumatic grip 3,5 kN | Single-sided pneumatic grip 20 kN | Double-sided pneumatic grip 2,4 kN | Pneumatic wedge type grip 10 kN /20 kN |
