The hydraulic wedge-action gripping system in the NG-SHM Class A – Servo Hydraulic Testing Machine is designed to reduce variables that could affect material deformation and fracture behavior, allowing test results to accurately reflect the material’s true mechanical properties.
One of the key concerns in tensile and compression testing is specimen slippage or improper clamping, which can lead to uneven force distribution and inaccurate strain measurements. The wedge-action mechanism addresses this by automatically increasing clamping force as load is applied, securing the specimen with a uniform grip. This prevents premature deformation or micro-movements that could alter stress distribution and strain analysis.
Additionally, hydraulic operation provides precise and repeatable clamping pressure, reducing inconsistencies caused by manual adjustments. By maintaining stable specimen positioning, the system allows for accurate force application, making sure that load values, elongation, and failure characteristics align with the material’s actual mechanical performance.
This level of control is particularly important for high-precision applications in aerospace, automotive, and metallurgical research, where understanding true material behavior is key for material qualification, safety assessments, and failure analysis.
