This grip effectively secures round objects during torque testing. The G1053 is designed with a hex tail to fit into the chucks of our torque sensors. Reversible serrated jaws accommodate samples with diameters of 0.65 - 1.80 in [16.5 - 45.7 mm] while a knob quickly engages and disengages samples.

This grip can be used either manually with anSTJ torque sensor orMGT torque gauge, or in test stand controlled applications, using our SeriesTST torque test stands. If used with a test stand, this grip complements our G1023 bottle grip.

An optional adapter is available to mount the G1053 grip to the base of a test stand to enable force testing.
