COLLET STYLE TORSION GRIPS

Two standard sets of collet style grips are available: a small collet grip set for smaller specimens and a large collet grip set for larger specimens. Both sets are double-angle style.
Principle of Operation The collet-style grips are threaded into or bolted to the output shaft and/or torque cell of MT Series frames. The collet grips use a split collet design that, when manually tightened, provides nearly uniform clamping pressure on the specimen. Collet style grips accept a smaller range of specimen diameters than chuck-style grips (W-MT01 series), but can withstand higher torsional forces. Both small and large collet grip assemblies are available for gripping a range of specimens. Adapters are included to attach collet grips to the MT Series frames.
