- Suitable for use with the foot & hand controls
| Pneumatic grips |
 | - Vice grips with manual tightening action either buy thumb screw or T-bar
- Single or dual action, allow for offset sample alignment for shearing testing
- Ideal for flat samples, rubber, plastic film, plastic dumbbells, paper and cardboard, sheet metal, foils, wood fabrics and composites
| Vice grips |
 | - General tension testing of metals & plastics
- Grip tightens on the sample as force increases, initial force can be applied by various methods like side lever, capstan action wheel or screw action
- Faces are interchangeable for different sample types & dimensions
| Wedge grips |
 | - Suitable for a wide range of samples (fibre, yarn, thread, string, rope & strapping tape
- Sample can be wrapped around the bollard & clamped at one end
- Ideal for user with an extensometer to calculate true strain in the sample
- Pneumatic version is available
| Bollard grips |
 | - Self tightening as sample is pulled
- Ideal for all types of flat samples, rubber, plastic film, plastic dumbbells, paper & cardboard, sheet medal & foils
| Eccentric roller grips |
 | - Single or double actuator
- Suitable for user with hydraulic pumps
| Hydraulic grips |
 | - Direct connect & options of a connecting chain for self alignment
- Ideal for testing of small component parts where access is an issue such as electrical & electronic components
| Pincer grips |
 | - Samples are machined dumbbells with metric threads
- Inserts are available for bolts & screws
| Thread head grips |
 | - Grips with a split-C design which allows the user to wrap the sample around a self tightening roller
- Samples can be manually pre-tensioned before test starts
| Webbing & ribbon grips |
| Extensometers |
 | - General purpose precision extensometers designed for testing a wide range of materials (metals, plastics, composites & ceramics) operates in tension, compression & cyclic testing modes
- High frequency operation is permited & eliminating vibration sensitivity
- Attachment kit to allow one-hand quick mounting to the sample
| Contacting & Clip-on |
 | Two types- 1st aims at the plastic & rubber industries to provide accurate readings of strain & extension over a large extension range that allows additional parameters such as yield point & break points to be calculated by NEXYGEN software
- 2nd type is suitable for user with rigid, semi-rigid & ductile materials
| Long travel |
 | - Measure deformation in 3 & 4 point bend tests, compression testing applications
| Deflection gauge |
| – | - Suitable for both the measurement of material constants as well as “long travel” applications
- Mounted on an adjustable frame which is attached to the tensile testing machine and it’s possible to adjust the video extensometer to the optimal position within the chosen work area
- 8 different lenses for optimal focus are availble
| Video (Non-contacting) |
