The 1,000 lb. wedge grip is quite narrow and is designed to pinch the sample with an increasing amount of force. This solution is great for thin, non-...

This grip is great for lower strength plastics and is used commonly in plastics tensile tests such as ASTM D638. The handle is used to tight...

4,500 lb. grips start to become heavy. These grips weigh about 25 lbs. each. Check out the literature page for a 3D schematic of the working...

The 50kN tensile wedge grips use a 1 1/4" adapter with a 1/2" pin. These grips are commonly used for lap shear strength testing an...

The 50kN Wedge Grips use a crank to force the jaws onto the sample and create a pre-grip, prior to starting the tensile test. These grips are great ha...

100kN wedge grips utilize a door which is closed and locked with a key. This particular picture shows a Nickel alloy grip which has better thermal sta...

The 150kN wedge grip design is overengineered with hardened steel in order to hold up to high strength tensile testing over several decades. A special...

The 300kN wedge grip is designed with a small wedge angle of 11 degrees to allow for high capacity testing. This grip has a 60mm female coupling and u...

Hydraulic Wedge Grips are necessary when testing above 300kN of force. Many tensile pulls on metal bars will require hydraulic wedge grips. UGC also s...
