STM 566SB

This specially shaped 'C' clamp is normally used in the peel strength testing of footwear sole to upper. It can also be used as a general purpose clamp.

Top clamp provided (used in conjunction with 566F or 566QR bottom clamp).

STM 566H

This attachment is used to determine the strength of footwear insole board, particularly in the seat region.

Supplied as a complete unit.

STM 566F

This is a versatile, standard, flat jaw, used for a variety of general purpose clamping.

Sold individually (normally a pair would be required).

STM 566TB

These SATRA thread bollards are used to determine the breaking load of threads and laces.

Supplied as a pair of jaws.

STM 566HP

This test was developed to assess the strength required to pull a nail from the heel of footwear.

Supplied as a pair of jaws.

STM 566Z

The transverse through thickness tensile strength through thickness of sheet materials, usually called the ‘AZ tensile test’, is measured using this device.

Supplied as jaw set (top & bottom).

STM 566HA

This is used to measure the strength of attachment of heel to shoe.

Bottom clamp provided (used in conjunction with an STM 566F top clamp).

STM 566AF

This is used for testing the strength of adhesion of the finish to the leather or synthetic material. It consists of a hook attached to one jaw and a sample holder to the other.

Supplied as jaw set (top and bottom).

STM 566LH

With this attachment footwear lastometer tests can be carried out to check the burst or crack strength.

Supplied as a complete unit.

STM 566WT

Supplied as a pair, the top-line bollards are used to determine breaking force and extension at break of whole shoe top-lines.

STM 566NP1

This tests a whole sole unit, complete with protective midsole, for nail penetration.

Supplied as jaw set (top and bottom).

STM 566NP2

This tests the protective midsole as a separate unit for nail penetration.

Supplied as jaw set (top and bottom).

STM 566ST

Often called the ‘Baumann tear test’, this is the industry standard for testing the tear strength of leather.

Supplied as a pair of jaws.

STM 566LT

This is used to assess the attachment strength of the shoelace tag to the lace.

Top clamp provided (used in conjunction with an STM 566F bottom clamp).

STM 566NT

Normally called the ‘needle tear test’, this device allows the sample material to be clamped and a series of needles pushed through the material.

Bottom clamp provided (used in conjunction with an STM 566F top clamp).

STM 566QR

This is a unique self locking jaw with a quick release action, which can be used as a general purpose clamp for many duties.

Sold individually (normally a pair would be required).
