Collar and Wedge Anchors are used to secure roof plates on 23.5mm diameter x 21 wire strand bolts. They provide positive support to the rock face at the collar of the hole.
Collar and wedge anchors can sustain loads of between 52 and 55 tonnes and suit dome plates.
The Collar and Wedge Anchor is used to pre-stress cable bolts prior to grouting.
The wedge in the anchor has hardened serrations to provide a positive grip on the strand. Each wedge consists of three segments, secured by a ring to ensure wedge alignment and initial clamping.
The barrel is manufactured from a toughened steel to resist splitting.
Corrosion protection can be provided on the barrel only by zinc plating to AS1789-1984.
