OEM Rawlplug Rawlbolt M10 Loose Bolt Anchor

Rawlbolt M10 Anchor

The OEM Rawlbolt M10 Anchor functions as a high-performance mechanical expansion fastener for heavy-duty applications in solid masonry and concrete. This three-segment expansion shield provides uniform load distribution within the substrate. It maintains structural integrity in both cracked and non-cracked concrete environments. The cold-formed carbon steel construction handles significant tensile and shear forces. This loose bolt variant facilitates flush mounting of fixtures before the bolt insertion process. It simplifies the installation of heavy machinery or structural steel components by allowing the fixture to be positioned first. Engineers utilize these fasteners for critical load paths requiring long-term stability.

The internal expansion mechanism relies on a precision-engineered wedge. As the installer applies torque, the wedge pulls into the shield segments. These segments press firmly against the walls of the pre-drilled hole. This creates a mechanical interlock that resists withdrawal forces. The ferrule features a collapse zone. This design element ensures the fixture clamps tightly against the base material. Zinc plating protects the assembly from corrosion in dry, indoor environments. The M10 thread size provides a balance between physical footprint and load capacity. This specific model requires a 16mm masonry drill bit for correct installation. Proper hole cleaning remains essential for maximum friction performance.
