Summary- Capacity: Up to 20 kN
- Designed for tensile testing
- Sample alignment ensured
- Ideal for testing crimped terminations
OverviewWinding grips designed for tensile testing machines. Used to test rope, cable, filament, wires and other slender materials in tensile test applications. The systems incorporate a guide roller to limit failures inside the test fixture and ensure steady guidance of the specimen.
OperationThe fixtures feature a design that helps ensure correct sample alignment and promotes specimen failure between the upper and lower attachment points. The device includes a cylindrical bobbin around which the specimen is wound (typically 1-1/2 or 2 turns depending on material strength). Positioning on the bobbin allows force to be applied along the load cell axis.
Applications- Tensile testing of ropes, cables, wires, filaments
- Testing of crimped connections and terminations
- Setups for tensile/compression test frames
Test standardsThere are various test standards for ropes, filaments, cords, fine wires and cables. Appropriate test fixtures can be provided to meet the specific requirements of different test methods.
