The larger capacity grips are heavy.
Dropped grips can cause injury to personnel and damage to equipment.
Be sure to have help or proper lifting devise to position the grips for installation.
Install Bend Fixtures—Servohydraulic Systems
Follow the steps outlined in the next several pages to install the bend fixtures on
your servohydraulic test system.
Bend fixture installation is inherently dangerous because it takes place
within the crush zone of the force train, when full hydraulic pressure is
applied to the system and actuator movement is required.
Serious personal injury and equipment damage can occur.
Take every precaution to avoid unexpected actuator movement and to avoid
dropping the fixture.
Models 642.001, 642.01, and 642.10 Bend Fixtures install using only cap screws.
The Model 642.25 Bend Fixture uses an adapter plate to bolt to the actuator and
load cell.
