WEDGE GRIPS FOR UNIVERSAL TESTING MACHINES – BMT-MJV
BESMAK Wedge Grips are designed for secure specimen holding during tensile testing on universal testing machines (UTM). The self-tightening wedge mechanism increases gripping force as the tensile load rises, preventing specimen slippage and ensuring reliable test results. Suitable for testing metals, plastics, composites, wires and flat specimens in accordance with international tensile testing standards.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What are wedge grips used for?
Wedge grips are used to securely hold test specimens during tensile testing performed on universal testing machines.
Why are wedge grips preferred for tensile testing?
The self-tightening wedge mechanism automatically increases the clamping force as the tensile load rises, minimizing specimen slippage and improving test reliability.
Can wedge grips hold round specimens?
Yes. When equipped with suitable V-groove jaw inserts, wedge grips can securely grip round bars, wires, rods, and other cylindrical specimens.
What testing machines are compatible with wedge grips?
Wedge grips are compatible with most universal testing machines, including both servo-hydraulic and electromechanical testing systems.
