A device for a peel test. The device includes: a gripping member to grip an end of a test film to be peeled off a test object; a movable member linearly moving in a direction to or away from the gripping member; a holding member for the movable member capable of linearly moving in a direction along a peel surface of the test object while holding the test object; a moving mechanism configured to move the movable member linearly; a load measuring unit configured to measure a load applied to the gripping member; a first conversion mechanism to convert the linear motion of the movable member to rotational power, and output the rotational power; and a second conversion mechanism to convert the rotational power output from the first conversion mechanism to the linear motion of the holding member relative to the movable member.
