MECHANICAL, PNEUMATIC AND HYDRAULIC CLAMPING SYSTEMS

TIRA offers a wide range of clamping systems, depending on type and specifications of test. TIRA particularly focuses on custom designed clamping systems. In standard solutions TIRA is supported by cooperation partners for many years.

TENSILE TESTING

There are various types of jigs suitable for the tensile test. It depends on the type of material, force and test specification. Generally hydraulic clamps should be used for forces higher than 100 kN. Screw clamps, pneumatic and wedge clamps can be used for lower forces, but wedge clamps can also be used for forces up to 300 kN.

COMPRESSION-, BENDING- AND SPRING-TESTING

For the compression tests TIRA offers different types of standard and customized compression devices. The compression plates have centric engraving for easier specimen placement. For a better alignment to the specimen is the bottom plate fixed and the upper plate has a spherical seating.

Depending on customer requests and test specifications TIRA offers various 3-point or 4-point bending devices. Important is the freely adjustable span between the supports and the diameter of the rolls.

TIRA has much experience in the spring-testing in both customized and standard solutions.
