Shimpo FG-M10TWN500U Heavy Duty Cord and Twine Grip - M10 Thread 500lbs Capacity - Universal Test Stand Accessory - Perfect for Lab Testing, Material Strength Evaluation & Industrial Applications

Product Description

The Shimpo M10 thread test stand grip is an accessory for Shimpo force gauge test stands that attaches to a test stand to allow testing on a range of materials. The attachment has an M10 thread.A choice of grip styles is available. The wedge grip attachment has a 500 lb. (250 kg) capacity and has jaws that close on the specimen and tighten as tension is applied for testing wires, strip material, plastic tape, or film. The tensile grip with manually tightened, serrated jaws has a 500 lb. (250 kg) capacity for gripping large loads. The clevis grip with concave shape centers odd-shaped samples under load, including punched samples or tension springs. It has a 500 lb. (250 kg) capacity and can accommodate samples up to 0.375" (9.65 mm) wide, with a throat clearance of 0.5" (12.7 mm). The cord and twine grip with non-locking pins provides a figure-eight wrap of specimen to ensure a center break. It has a throat and pin clearance of 0.375” (9.65 mm) wide, and the throat width is 0.5" (12.7 mm). The fabric grip with eccentrically mounted, serrated roller grip has a 500 lb. (250 kg) capacity and is for self- tightening of specimens up to 3" (76.20 mm) wide and 0.25" (6.4 mm) thick.Force gauges, also called push-pull gauges or tension gauges, measure the tensile (pull) or compression (push) force applied to an object. They are used to test the strength and functionality of a variety of machines, electronic components, cables, wires, and consumer products in scientific, medical, automotive, quality assurance, and manufacturing applications. A digital force gauge shows the amount of force in digits on the gauge's display. Response time varies among digital force gauges depending on the speed of the processor. An analog (or mechanical) force gauge shows measurements on a calibrated dial. Analog force gauges are not as precise as digital force gauges, but they provide instantaneous measurements and can be used in a wider range of environmental conditions than digital force gauges. Hooks, compression plates, levers, handles, test stands, and other accessories can be used with the gauge for taking measurements on objects with a range of shapes and sizes.Shimpo Instruments manufactures force, torque, and speed evaluation instruments.
