Grips and Fixtures

Wire, Yarn, Thread and Webbing Grips

ML4244
ML-4244

Wrapped Wire Connector Grip
This grip is designed to facilitate the testing of wrapped wire connections and terminations. The grip is formed in an "L' shape that can be notched by the user to any desired dimension to accommodate a connection post. During a test, the fixture is slipped over the terminal post below the wire wrap. When a tension load is applied, the grip engages the wrap and pulls it off the post.

Capacity
130 N, 29.2 lbf

Packaging
Includes upper and lower grips

Applications
Ideal for testing wrapped wire connections and terminations.

Grooved Snubber 1/16 in Wire Grips
The grooved snubber and post design of this grip ensures centre break of flexible wire up to 1.6 mm (0.06 in) in diameter. This grip may also be used for testing cord, rubber or filaments. A 25 mm (0.98 in) diameter snubber is mounted on the swivelling plate so that the specimen will align with the force when load is applied. A ball socket mounting screw in the upper grip maintains accurate alignment of the upper and lower grips. Maximum specimen diameter is 2 mm (1/16 in).

Capacity
1 kN, 225 lbf

Packaging
Includes upper and lower grip.

Applications
Used for testing fine flexible wire, filaments, cord, rubber etc.
