WEBBING GRIPS
2.1
Application Specific Accessories
Webbing is a high-strength textile material that cannot generally be gripped successfully with simple side-acting grips. Special grips based on the capstan principle minimize slippage and jaw breakage effects.
Principle of Operation These webbing capstan grips incorporate an ingenious capstan design that provides fast, easy loading together with a gripping action that results in proper breaks in the full gauge length of the specimen. The specimen is loaded simply by inserting one end into the groove of the capstan and cranking it through 360°. Gripping efficiency is also greatly increased because the surfaces of both capstans are utilized.
Application Range • Static tensile tests on webbing, belts and tapes
