About Extension Rod Installation
The Series 647 Hydraulic Wedge Grips can have extension rods mounted so that the grips can be inside an
environmental chamber for testing at extreme temperatures. Grip installation in a load unit with an environmental
chamber involves attaching the grips to the end of the actuator rod and the force transducer or crosshead
using extension rods. The grips are mounted to the extension rods which are mounted to the load unit with
conductor studs or socket head screws.
The following figure shows the components used for most installations.
