Tension/Compression Grips

TA Instruments ElectroForce titanium tension/compression fatigue grips are low-mass grips that can be used in a variety of applications including engineered materials, biomaterials, and tissue testing.

In this mode, the sample is clamped at the top and bottom and placed in tension or tested ‘through zero’ for fatigue loading with reversing stress. Multiple tension clamps are available including a self-aligning and versatile wedge grip and a submersible vise grip with changeable faces.
