20kN Self-Tightening Scissor Grip

The 20kN Self-Tightening Scissor Grip is the perfect option for testing samples that thin out during a tensile test. The fixture is ideal for non-standard samples such as medical tubing and other extruded plastic products. They also work great for wood tensile testing.

The Scissor grip has a bridge which exerts a continuous and increasing lateral force on the sample which ensures a good hold. When other grips such as vise grips and wedge grips fail, Scissor grips save the day with their unique self-tightening mechanism.
