Manual micro gripper 2711-006

parallel2-jawlightweight

Fibers and filaments tend to be relatively thin materials compared to most, but within these types of materials there can be a wide range of thicknesses and tensile strengths that determines the appropriate gripping method. To properly hold onto these materials, Instron offers two types of grips: a lever action style and an O-ring type. The Lever Action Grips provide the ideal means to hold single fiber specimens. The grips are simple, lightweight, and symmetrical in design. Principle of Operation Lever Action Grips are generally used for the thicker range of fiber filament specimens. These grips have an adjustable clamping force, self-aligning hard rubber coated faces, and provide ease of operation similar to a clothes pin. An adapter is provided to use the lower grip in the vertical or horizontal orientation to ease specimen insertion.
