Screw Side Action Tensile Grips
2710-100 Series
-
The Instron screw side-action tensile grips are precision mechanical grips engineered for tensile testing across a broad spectrum of specimen materials (e.g. metals, plastics, textiles, thin foils) and geometries. Their dual-acting screw mechanism delivers concentric clamping and allows for adjustments to accommodate varying specimen thicknesses or unique components — ensuring reliable load alignment. With quick, tool-free jaw face changes and a wide assortment of interchangeable jaw face types (smooth-ground, serrated, rubber-coated, etc.), these grips offer flexibility in test setup.

(25kN) Fatigue Testing Systems
8872
-
The 8872 fatigue testing system is ideal for fatigue and static testing of biomedical, advanced materials, and manufactured components. The servohydraulic actuator is conveniently located in the crosshead for easy table mounting. The T-slot base makes it easy to secure orthopaedic specimens, automotive components, and manufacturing assemblies. The adjustable crosshead, actuator-mounted load cell, and corrosion resistant T-slot base with unique drain channel are essential for testing biomedical specimens immersed in a saline bath.

Bi-axial Dynacell Load Cells
2527 Series
-
During tests carried out on servohydraulic machines, elements of the system are subject to acceleration. As a result, in addition to the force applied to the specimen, the load cell also reads forces resulting from its own movement and the mass of the grips and fixtures attached to it. Dynacell is the world's first truly dynamic load cell, designed from the outset for measuring dynamic loads. Dynacell introduces the following advantages:*Reduces dynamic load errors which can be a significant percentage of reading *Increases productivity by allowing higher frequency operation while maintaining test validity *Improvements such as doubling the frequency are common
