Sauter Force Gauge Clamps & Grips

Sauter force-gauge clamps and grips for tensile and rupture tests. Compare screw, narrow, long, roller and spring-loaded jaws by force rating, jaw width, clamping opening and pack quantity.

500 N Precision Clamps

AC 01, AC 09, AC 14, AC 17 and AC 22 provide different gripping shapes for suitable tensile tests up to 500 N.

2–5 kN High-Force Clamps

AC 18 is rated to 2 kN; AC 03, AC 11R, AC 12 and AC 16R are rated to 5 kN. Match the stand, sensor and adapters.

Single Clamps or Pairs

For AC families with both versions, an R suffix denotes a single clamp. The non-R variant is generally supplied as two matching pieces.

Common Force Clamp Applications

Specimen holding for tensile strength, pull-out, rupture and controlled force tests.

Tensile Strength

Secure samples between rated gripping points for a controlled pull test.

Extraction and Pull-Off

Measure resistance when withdrawing or separating an appropriately held component.

Fine or Narrow Samples

AC 09, AC 17 and AC 22 offer alternative jaw configurations for smaller test pieces.

Wide or High-Force Samples

AC 18 and the 5 kN clamp range serve larger specimen geometries subject to rated mounting.

How to Choose a Sauter Clamp

Identify specimen width and thickness, maximum expected tensile force, connection thread and whether the test arrangement needs one or two clamps. Check the exact model datasheet; not all M6 and M10 fittings are interchangeable.

Match Rated Force

A 5 kN clamp does not increase the capacity of a 500 N gauge; observe the lowest limit in the system.

Measure Specimen Thickness

Check jaw opening separately from clamping width; the largest jaw face may still have a small opening.

Check Pack Quantity

Do not assume every part number includes two clamps. Single-piece R variants are separately priced.

Confirm M6/M10 Connection

Use the model-specific fitting and rated adapter to attach the clamp to a force gauge or stand.
