Extension rods are used to add length to a fixture often to prevent the specimen from making contact with the gauge/loadcell e.g. when compressing a plunger into a cylinder. They are also used to connect a force gauge or load cell to a grip or fixture e.g. a wedge grip or test hook. The thumbwheel or locking nut is used to secure the grip in the correct orientation – care should be taken not to overtighten when using with low capacity gauges and loadcells.
