The primary function of wedge bolts is to firmly attach the wooden or metal forms to the concrete foundation or structural steel. This ensures that the forms maintain their position during the pouring and setting of the concrete, preventing any displacement or leakage that could compromise the integrity of the structure. The bolts' ability to withstand high tensile forces is critical in withstanding the pressure exerted by wet concrete and the subsequent curing process.

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.
