Overview

As a dedicated UTM grips manufacturer India, Finetech Engineering manufactures a complete range of grips and fixtures for testing machine designed for the materials and standards most commonly tested in Indian QC and R&D labs. Grips and fixtures for testing machine are the critical link between your Universal Testing Machine and the specimen. The wrong grip causes slippage, premature jaw-break failures, misaligned loads, and unreliable test data. The right grip transfers load cleanly into the specimen, keeps it centred, and ensures that failure happens in the gauge section – not at the jaws.

As a specialist rubber tensile grips manufacturer India, Finetech supplies self-tightening roller grips for high-elongation rubber (ASTM D412, ISO 37). As a comprehensive tensile test grips India supplier, we also manufacture wedge grips for rigid engineering plastics (ASTM D638), pneumatic grips for high-volume labs, and the full range of jaw grips for universal testing machine accessories – compression platens, flexural fixtures, and peel fixtures.


As a custom test fixtures manufacturer India, we manufacture non-standard fixtures to your drawing or specification – for test configurations not covered by standard grip types. Every grips and fixtures for testing machine product from Finetech is designed for use with our Universal Testing Machines but is also compatible with most standard UTMs from other manufacturers.

Grip Types — Which Grip Do You Need?
Roller grips – also called eccentric roller grips – are the standard rubber tensile grips manufacturer India product and the most popular tensile test grips India type for rubber, elastomers, and high-elongation materials. As a leading UTM grips manufacturer India, we engineer the self-tightening action so the roller rotates and tightens automatically as the UTM applies tensile load – increasing grip force in proportion to the load. This prevents slippage without crushing the specimen.

Best for:

  • Vulcanised rubber (NR, SBR, NBR, EPDM, CR, silicone) – dumbbell and strip specimens – the core application for our rubber tensile grips manufacturer India range
  • Thermoplastic elastomers (TPU, TPE)
  • Soft and flexible plastics (LDPE, LLDPE films, stretch films)
  • Foam, leather, and textile (low to medium force)
  • Any material with high elongation at break (>100%) – the defining advantage of tensile test grips India roller type

 

Standards:

  • ASTM D412 / ISO 37 — tensile testing of vulcanised rubber
  • ASTM D882 — tensile testing of thin plastic films
  • ASTM D624 / ISO 34-1 — tear testing of rubber
  • ASTM D3574 — tensile testing of flexible foams
2. Wedge Grips (Self-Tightening / Mechanical Wedge)
Wedge grips are the standard jaw grips for universal testing machine for rigid plastics, metals, and composites. As part of our grips and fixtures for testing machine range, wedge grips use angled jaw surfaces that slide inward as tensile load increases, progressively tightening on the specimen.

Best for:

  • Rigid plastics (PP, PE-HD, PVC rigid, ABS, nylon, polycarbonate, POM, PEEK) – standard tensile test grips India for plastic testing
  • Metals and metal alloys (when tested on higher-capacity UTMs)
  • Fibre-reinforced composites and laminates
  • Any material with low elongation and high tensile strength

 

Standards:

  • ASTM D638 / ISO 527 — tensile testing of rigid plastics
  • ASTM D695 / ISO 604 — compression testing (with compression fixtures)
  • ASTM D790 / ISO 178 — flexural testing (with flexural fixtures)
3. Pneumatic Grips (Air-Actuated)
Pneumatic grips use compressed air to clamp with a controlled, repeatable force – the premium jaw grips for universal testing machine solution for high-throughput labs. As your UTM grips manufacturer India, we supply pneumatic grips with hand switch or foot pedal activation – every specimen gripped at exactly the same force, eliminating operator-to-operator variation.

Best for:

  • High-throughput QC labs running 50+ tests per day – the fastest tensile test grips India option
  • Labs where multiple operators run the same UTM — removes clamping force variability
  • Thin films, foils, and flexible materials where consistent low clamping force prevents crushing
  • Any material where grip force consistency is more important than ultimate holding power

 

Air supply:

  • Requires compressed air at 4–6 bar (60–85 psi)
  • Can be supplied with hand switches or foot pedal activation
4. Manual Vise Grips (Screw-Tightened)
The simplest and most affordable jaw grips for universal testing machine. Operator inserts the specimen and tightens a screw or lever. Best for: low-volume labs, educational settings, budget-conscious setups, and backup/secondary grip positions.

Best for:

  • Low-volume labs with occasional testing
  • Educational and teaching labs
  • Budget-conscious setups where roller or wedge grips are not yet justified
  • Quick checks and in-process testing where ultimate accuracy is not critical
5. Compression Platens
Flat circular or square platens for compression testing – a key part of the Finetech grips and fixtures for testing machine range. Used for compression strength, compressive modulus, and crush testing.

Standards:

  • ASTM D695 / ISO 604 — compression of rigid plastics
  • ASTM D575 — compression of rubber
  • IS 3400 Part 2 — compression of vulcanised rubber
6. Flexural (Bend Test) Fixtures
Three-point and four-point bending fixtures for flexural strength and modulus testing. As a custom test fixtures manufacturer India, Finetech supplies standard ASTM D790 / ISO 178 fixtures as well as custom span configurations to your specification.

Standards:

  • ASTM D790 / ISO 178 — flexural testing of plastics
  • ASTM D747 — stiffness of plastics by cantilever beam
7. Peel Test Fixtures
Fixtures for 90 deg and 180 deg peel testing of adhesives, laminates, tapes, and coated materials. Part of the Finetech custom test fixtures manufacturer India range.

Standards:

  • ASTM D903 — peel strength of adhesive bonds
  • ASTM D1876 — T-peel test for adhesives
  • IS 4201 — peel test for rubber-to-metal bonds

Frequently Asked Questions

Grips and fixtures for testing machine (UTM) are the accessories that hold the specimen in the correct position and transfer the applied force into the specimen during a test. As a dedicated UTM grips manufacturer India, Finetech Engineering manufactures the full range: roller grips, wedge grips, pneumatic grips, manual vise grips, compression platens, flexural fixtures, and peel fixtures. The right grips and fixtures for testing machine are as important as the UTM itself - the wrong grip produces invalid test results.
Roller grips - our rubber tensile grips manufacturer India product. Rubber specimens elongate 300-800% during tensile testing. Standard clamped grips would slip or crush the rubber. Roller grips self-tighten proportionally as load increases, maintaining grip without damage. This is the industry-standard tensile test grips India type for ASTM D412 and ISO 37 rubber tensile testing. As a specialist rubber tensile grips manufacturer India, Finetech configures the right jaw faces for your specific rubber compound.
Jaw grips for universal testing machine are any type of grip that clamps a specimen by the jaws - as opposed to fixtures that support the specimen without clamping (like flexural fixtures). The jaw grips for universal testing machine category includes roller grips, wedge grips, pneumatic grips, and manual vise grips. As your UTM grips manufacturer India, Finetech Engineering supplies all four types in multiple jaw face configurations. The choice depends on your material, specimen shape, and test force.
Yes. As a custom test fixtures manufacturer India, Finetech Engineering manufactures non-standard fixtures to your drawing or specification. Common custom fixture requests include: offset loading fixtures, double-lap shear jigs, specific span flexural fixtures, specially-shaped compression platens, and fixtures for unique product geometries. Contact our custom test fixtures manufacturer India team with your requirement - drawing, standard reference, and specimen dimensions.
Yes. Finetech grips and fixtures for testing machine are designed for our UTMs but are compatible with most standard universal testing machines from other manufacturers. We supply mounting adaptors as needed. When ordering, specify your UTM make, model, and the crosshead mounting configuration (pin diameter, bolt pattern, or thread size) and our UTM grips manufacturer India team will ensure a proper fit.
This is usually a jaw face problem. If serrated jaws are cutting into the specimen at the grip edge, switch to smooth or rubber-coated jaw faces on your tensile test grips India. If clamping force is too high, reduce it or switch from wedge to roller grips. If the grip is misaligned, the load is not axial - check alignment. Contact our UTM grips manufacturer India team with details and we will troubleshoot your specific setup.
Both are self-tightening tensile test grips India types, but they suit different materials. Roller grips (our rubber tensile grips manufacturer India product) use an eccentric roller mechanism - the specimen passes between a flat face and a roller that rotates as load increases. Best for high-elongation materials (rubber, soft plastics, films). Wedge grips use angled jaw surfaces that slide inward under load - providing very high clamping force for rigid, low-elongation materials (rigid plastics, metals, composites). As a full-range UTM grips manufacturer India, Finetech supplies both types with the appropriate jaw faces for your material.
