The design of an M8 wedge anchor is simple yet effective. It consists of a threaded rod with a nut and washer, accompanied by a wedge-shaped expansion sleeve. When installed, the anchor is drilled into a pre-drilled hole in the concrete, and then the bolt is inserted and tightened. As the bolt is tightened, it pulls the wedge-shaped sleeve against the sides of the hole, creating friction and causing the sleeve to expand. This expansion locks the anchor securely in place, providing a strong hold that can withstand significant loads.

The functionality of metal expansion nuts centers around the principle of mechanical expansion. Upon the application of torque, the screw or bolt is threaded into the nut, which, in turn, causes the nut to expand outward. This outward expansion presses the sides of the nut against the inner walls of the hole it occupies, creating a tight fit. The added friction and mechanical grip prevent the nut from loosening over time, even in dynamic conditions.

The M20 Chemset anchor is a chemical anchor that is used to fasten bolts, rods, and other fixtures into concrete, brick, or masonry. It is designed to provide a superior bond strength compared to traditional mechanical anchors. The anchor consists of a resin cartridge and a steel rod or bolt. The resin is injected into the hole drilled into the substrate, where it cures and forms a strong bond with the surrounding material. This creates a secure connection that is capable of withstanding high loads and forces.
