1 N Clip Grips
These very low-force 1 N (0.22 lbf) clip grips are for tensile testing fibers, tapes, and other similarly shaped specimens. 1 N clip grips are offered with either leather-coated grip faces or rubber-coated grip faces. Adjustable tensioning nuts are used to regulate the clamping force, ensuring that the sample is secured firmly. They are designed for use with 50 N (11 lbf) and below load cells.
1 N clip grip kits come with upper and lower grips, an S-shaped joint, and two load cell connectors. The load cell connectors supplied with the grips are compatible with Shimadzu’s AGX-V series 50 N and below load cells. Additional connectors are necessary when using the 1 N clip grips with Shimadzu’s AGS-X series and EZ-X series 1 N and 2 N (0.44 lbf) load cells.
