TENSILE WEDGE GRIP INSERTS

 Wedge grip inserts of all types, in all sizes and load capacities to fit all existing wedge grip bodies, can be provided, including custom designs for special applications.  While machined serration grip faces are very popular, grip faces thermal-sprayed with tungsten carbide particles are also being use extensively. 

 Some examples of both types of grip faces are shown in the following photograph.  These particular grip inserts happen to be for 20 and 50 kip load capacity hydraulic wedge grips.
