Self-tightening grips increase clamping force on the specimen as it is loaded. Typically a wedge or eccentric roller design. Work in tension only.
Cam Grip
Wide contact area is suitable for flat material in strips up to the grip width. Often used with textiles, rubber and plastic. Papers and foils may use a spacer to reduce tearing at serrations.

Friction Roller Grip
Reduces grip-induced stresses on sample. They distribute friction around a fixed drum, which results in a much smaller clamping force to hold the sample. Tension only.
