Pneumatic vise grips provide secure, consistent clamping for tensile testing of plastics, metals, rubber, composites, and other engineering materials using universal testing machines. Operated by compressed air, these tensile testing grips allow fast specimen loading and repeatable gripping pressure, making them suitable for routine material testing, quality control, and high-volume laboratory applications.<\/p>\n

Available in single-piston and dual-piston configurations, P240 pneumatic vise grips accommodate a variety of specimen materials, thicknesses, and geometries. Different jaw surfaces and configurations provide flexibility for a wide range of tensile strength testing applications.<\/p>\n

For applications requiring manually controlled clamping force, explore our M240 Manual Vise Grips<\/a>, featuring a dual-acting screw mechanism and articulating jaws for secure specimen gripping.<\/p>\n

Principle of Operation<\/h2>\n

Pneumatic vise grips use compressed air to actuate the clamping mechanism, applying controlled gripping pressure to secure the specimen between opposing jaws.<\/p>\n

Depending on the configuration, the grips feature a single-piston or dual-piston pneumatic mechanism. Both configurations provide pneumatic jaw operation, reducing manual effort and allowing efficient specimen loading and unloading.<\/p>\n

Consistent air pressure helps maintain repeatable clamping conditions between tests, reducing operator-dependent variations in gripping force.<\/p>\n

Pneumatic vise grips can be operated using compatible foot switches or hand valves, allowing convenient control of jaw opening and closing during specimen preparation and testing.<\/p>\n
