Type 1 and Type 2 Pantograph Grip

Pantograph grips use a simple spring design to hold and apply pressure to specimens during tensile testing. These grips are mainly used for tensile testing plate specimens of rubber, textiles, or soft plastics.

There are two types of pantograph grips: type 1 and type 2. Type 1 pantograph grips suit wider, thinner samples, whereas type 2 pantograph grips are better for narrower and thicker samples. Both grip types are fitted with parallel-grooved grip faces to enhance soft specimen clamping.
