About Grip

Pneumatic specimen grip line is generally used for grip-sensitive specimens, and where least amount of setting-up effort is required. Pneumatic grip range is suitable for both round and flat specimens made of elastomers, plastics, textiles, insulating materials, paper, wood and metals. Pneumatic Grips operates by a foot switch (single press to ON electrical contact) through the control unit. One can adjust the gripping pressure of the grip (with pressure adjust valve) to adapt to the material to be tested. A constant holding force is ensured during the test sequence. Pneumatic Grips are economical alternatives to Hydraulic Grips.

Description:
They can be equipped with a selection of interchangeable grip jaw faces in various sizes and choice of surfaces including smooth ground, rubber coated and serrated, line contact and special coated faces are also available.
Grip control incorporates a footswitch allowing hands free operation for speed, simplicity of use, accuracy of specimen alignment within the grips & features for users safety. In addition, grip opening and closing can be controlled from the testing machine, providing features such as automatic pre-tension and grip release on specimen break.

Exclusive* Load Synchronization Feature
  • With the latest Series 7200 UTM the pneumatic grips give enhanced gripping performance.
  • With increasing loads during the test, the clamping pressure of the grips on the sample increases simultaneously ensuring enhanced gripping & hence efficient testing.
  • These advanced grips maintain a constant gripping force on the specimen that acts perpendicular to the direction of testing and is independent of tensile loading.
  • Avoids sample buckling or any physical damage to delicate samples during gripping.
  • Gripping pressure can be adjusted with the help of the valves.
  • Usability and operator safety compared to older traditional grip designs.
Principal Of Operation

Pneumatic action grips clamp the specimen through a single or dual lever arm, actuated by air cylinders built into the grip body. The gripping force can be increased with air pressure to accommodate materials that are often difficult to hold. This constant gripping force is maintained on the specimen, and provides the ultimate in ‘follow-up’ action to compensate for any decay in the gripping force. The grips are closed or opened by a pneumatic footswitch for hands free operation.
The interchangeable jaw faces are mounted in such a manner that one face is free to swivel on a horizontal axis and the other on a vertical axis. This action allows for alignment to compensate for variations in sample thickness.

Features
  • Temperature Ranges: a) -RT to +60°C b) -20°C to +150°C
  • Open front design to facilitate specimen loading
  • Security features for user safety
  • Pneumatic clamping of the specimen with follow-up action to reduce slippage
  • Rugged design for minimum maintenance
  • Interchangeable jaw faces suitable for gripping different types of materials
  • Rectangular jaw faces may be mounted with the long axis either horizontal or vertical to accommodate various specimens
  • Optional faces available include three types of faces: corrugated, plain & serrated.
Application
  • General purpose grips for tensile testing of rubber, plastics, textiles and other materials where self-tightening is required.
  • Type of loading: tensile, static, tension-tension cyclic tests. Not suitable for high cycle fatigue tests.
  • Specimen material: thin sheets, films, foils, threads, plastic tapes, fine wires and soft materials.
  • Specimen shapes: round (wires) and flat specimen with/without shoulder tab ends.

Yarn/Chord Grips- HJ 43

About Grip

Dak’s Pneumatic yarn Grips are “horn” styled grips designed to reduce stress concentration on specimens and avoid grip-induced failures. They are suitable for testing cords filaments, fibres, fine wire, and yarns. Specimen slippage is minimised by a pneumatic gripping mechanism and clamping forces are easily controlled by adjusting air supply pressure. Operation of these grips requires a dry, filtered air supply.

Grip Capacity

Load Capacity up to : 90kg

Exclusive* Load Synchronisation Feature
  • With the latest Series 7200 UTM the pneumatic grips give enhanced gripping performance.
  • With increasing loads during the test, the clamping pressure of the grips on the sample increases simultaneously ensuring enhanced gripping & hence efficient testing
  • These advanced grips maintain a constant gripping force on the specimen that acts perpendicular to the direction of testing and is independent of tensile loading.
  • Avoids sample buckling or any physical damage to delicate samples during gripping.
  • Gripping pressure can be adjusted with the help of the valves.
  • Usability and operator safety compared to older traditional grip designs.
Principle Of Operation

– Pneumatic cord and yarn grips provide a convenient method for clamping fiber, cord, yarns and fine wires to reduce the problem associated with testing these materials.

– A specially designed horn with a smooth finish and a contoured surface allow for easy loading and a stress-reduced clamping area on the specimen.

– The clamping mechanism can be activated either automatically or through a foot switch. This allows hands-free grip operation and enables the specimen to be held with both hands, for easy loading.

– Pneumatic yarn and cord grip provide electable clamping force to accommodate materials and excellent follow-up action, which compensates for decay of the holding force due to specimen creep. 

– Where the gripping area of monofilaments, cord, and yarn is small in relation to the strength, normal techniques using standard grip faces usually result in specimen failures adjacent to the jaw faces.

– The pneumatic cord and yarn grips have been designed specifically to overcome the problem of specimen failure by incorporating a capstan design, which evenly distributes the gripping force over the surface of a curved half capstan through friction.

– In addition, the pneumatically cushioned gripping force applied to the ends of the specimen compensates for the decay of force due to specimen creep.

– The pneumatic activates a moveable face, which acts upon a contoured fixed gripping face.

– This serves as a capstan and provides support for the specimen, making the transition from the free stressed length of the specimen to the rigidly clamped portion gradually rather than abruptly, thus minimizing breakage of the specimen adjacent to the jaw face.

– The capstan also incorporates a polished guide horn, which assists in rapid specimen loading.

– The polished finish prevents damage to individual fibers during specimen insertion.

– The specimen is placed over the top of the horn and slides down to the proper gripping position on the contoured clamp. The grips may be closed or opened by a pneumatic footswitch for hands-free operation.

– An automatic software mode is also available for hands-free, automated, and pretension testing via software or system default settings.

Features
  • “Horn” style design
  • Pneumatic gripping mechanism – requires controller
  • Temperature Ranges: a) -RT to +60°C b) -20°C to +150°C
  • Applications: Cords, filaments, fibers, fine wire, yarns.
  • The symmetrical weight distribution allows the centre of gravity of the grips to be near the tensile axis. That means the specimen grips will not produce transverse forces onto the load cell.
  • A guide horn and a depth limit stopper ensure a quick and easy insert of the specimen.
  • A groove is built into the force-reduction curve. This ensures an exact alignment of the specimen.
  • The gripping force in the final gripping is progressively set, that allows the specimen to be held securely and jaw breaks during the test are avoided.
  • The final gripping is performed pneumatically. The use of pneumatic final gripping ensures that the gripping force remains constant even with yielding specimen diameter.
  • The easy and comfortable opening and closing via a pneumatic control unit guarantees a high specimen throughput.
  • Security features during gripping of samples ensure users safety.
Application Range
  • Type of loading: Tension. Not suitable for through zero/ reverse stress or fatigue testing.
  • Specimen material: Fine wires, cords, yarns, and monofilaments.
