1 kN Capstan Grips for Yarn and Wire
Shimadzu’s 1 kN manual capstan grips are ideal for testing yarns and metal wires less than 3 mm (0.12 in) in diameter. The grips are easily operated by a cam lever and secure specimens firmly. The bollard and counterweight promote proper sample failure between the grips by gradually reducing clamping stress and inertial effects. The ease-of-use and simple design make the 1 kN capstan grips a great choice for anyone testing yarns and wires.

Operation
Specimens are threaded around the bollard and through the open front of the grip faces. The operating lever is used to close the grip faces and, during testing, a tensile force is applied along the capstan surface. A counterweight on the upper grip can be adjusted to maintain alignment and reduce inertial effects.
