Straining In-Situ Holders
Quantify microstructural changes in materials due to applied mechanical loading.

Advantages
Single push-button operation starts or stops the elongation process
Gear reduction needed to provide small displacement rate required in TEM studies is achieved using a 2190:1 low-backlash, spur gear train followed by a 40:1 reduction precision worm and wheel drive
Hexlok™ specimen securing mechanism provides firm and secure clamping of the tensile specimen
Model number | Specimen securing | Operating | Specimen positioning |
|---|---|---|---|
654 | Hexlok (clamping plate or grid fixture)1 | Ambient | α tilt |
671 | Hexlok mechanism | Less than | α tilt |
