Hardness Testing Sample Holders and Anvils
Sample Holders and Anvils
Precision in hardness testing starts with the right support through hardness testing sample holders and anvils. Secure specimens, maintain stability during testing, and ensure the test surface is perpendicular to the indenter, guaranteeing trouble-free testing. Buehler’s product offering and capabilities may extend beyond these listed. Please contact our lab team if you need assistance selecting an appropriate hardness testing accessory for your application.
Vickers and Knoop Sample Holders
Self Leveling Vises
One, four, or six fold vises for round, mounted samples and equipped with magnetic stops for added ease of use with motorized XY stages.
Universal Leveling Vise
Designed to hold tapered pieces, wires, and mounted samples.
EZ Clamp
Single mount canister acommodating a selection of mount diameters with different top plates. Unload and load samples onto the stage with ease through its magnetic design.
Precision Vise
Designed with a maximum opening of 45mm for small specimen hardness testing.
GP-HDT Holder
Adjustable fixture for use with Grinding and Polishing central force specimen holders. Fixture directly accepts specimen holder and allows for multi-sample hardness testing
without the need for unloading and reloading individual samples. Also use with UH4000 series.
Rockwell Anvils
Anvils fit RH2150, R754, VH1102, VH1202, VH1150, and legacy testers with 19mm pinholes.
Flat Anvils
Used to support flat specimens and mounted samples perpendicular to the indenter.
V Anvils
For samples with cylindrical shapes, such as rods or hard tubing.
Anvil Cylindrons
Designed to support cylindrical work.
Eyeball Anvil
Designed to test pieces with a slight taper.
Pedestal Spot Anvil
