These grips and fixtures are intended for use on NextGen universal testing machines, including both electromechanical UTMs and servo-hydraulic UTMs. For hydraulic frames, the TestStar series grips and fixtures are built specifically to match NextGen TestStar hydraulic UTM integration.

Within the electromechanical UTM lineup, the correct grip or fixture is selected based on the frame class and how the accessory mounts to the machine, rather than being a one-size-fits-all part. In practice, many labs configure grips and fixtures across NextGen’s NG-EML frames, then match jaw style and load range to the material and test type.

To confirm the right UTM match for your tensile testing setup, compatibility typically comes down to:

• Frame type, electromechanical vs servo-hydraulic
• Force capacity and load cell range
• Mounting interface, adapters, and alignment needs
• Actuation needs, such as pneumatic or hydraulic clamping
