Standard anchor

Anchors are a type of fastening element used in construction to secure various structures.

The word translates from German as “anchor,” which accurately describes the anchor’s properties — a strong and durable connection.

A standard anchor is a metal cylinder with slits (expansion segments) and a wedge section at one end. A bolt is inserted through the other end. Anchors are mostly made of carbon steel, additionally coated with zinc for corrosion protection. Standard sizes: diameter 6–20 millimeters, length 40–350 millimeters.

How to use

To install an anchor, a hole is first drilled for it. Then the fastener is driven in and tightened. As the bolt moves inward, the wedge begins to press on the expansion segments and spreads them apart — creating a strong connection.

Standard anchors can be ordered from FLOK. These are universal fasteners that fit almost any surface.
