Rawlplug Rawlbolt M8 Anchor Loose Bolt Expansion Shield

Rawlplug M8 Rawlbolt

The Rawlplug Rawlbolt M8 Anchor provides a high-performance mechanical fastening solution for heavy-duty structural applications in the IT and telecommunications sector. This torque-controlled expansion anchor utilizes a three-piece segmented shield for maximum surface contact within the substrate. Consequently, it delivers reliable load distribution in non-cracked concrete and hard masonry. The loose bolt configuration allows for the complete removal of the bolt after the expansion shield is set. Therefore, it is highly suitable for temporary installations or equipment upgrades where the fixing point must remain flush with the surface.

Key Features

• Three-Piece Expansion Shield
  The design incorporates a segmented sleeve that expands uniformly to provide high grip strength across various masonry types.

• Internal Threading Mechanism

  • High-grade carbon steel construction ensures tensile durability
  • Precision-engineered cone provides predictable expansion rates

• Corrosion Resistant Finish
  Zinc plating provides a protective barrier against oxidation in controlled indoor data center environments.

Why Choose This Mechanical Anchor

• The M8 expansion system ensures the structural integrity of heavy wall-mounted data cabinets and server racks. Additionally, the three-segment shield prevents localized stress fractures in the concrete substrate.

• Installation efficiency is maintained through the simple drill-and-drive mechanism. However, technicians must ensure the drill hole is thoroughly cleaned to prevent expansion failure caused by residual dust.

• This hardware supports high shear loads, which is critical for overhead cable tray management systems. Furthermore, the zinc-plated finish maintains its integrity over long-term deployments in server rooms.

• The loose bolt design facilitates easier equipment maintenance. If a rack needs repositioning, the bolt can be extracted without leaving protruding studs that create safety hazards.
