 | Undercut Anchor SystemsThis type of anchor transfers load into the base material through mechanical interlock with an undercut that is formed in the base material. The undercut can be formed before or during setting of the anchor. These systems have very high reliability and performance. |
 | Expansion Anchor SystemsThis type of anchor transfers load into the base material through friction grip that is established between the anchor’s expansion sleeve and the sidewalls of the drilled hole. This occurs when the anchor is set and the cone is drawn into the expansion sleeve. Expansion anchors provide a reliable and economical fixing system. |
 | Adhesive Anchor SystemsThis type of anchor consists of a chemical mortar and a threaded metal stud. After installation a chemical reaction takes place that secures the stud in place and the chemical bonds to the sidewalls of the drilled hole. This system does not produce expansion forces, and therefore allows for smaller edge distances and spacings. |
