Expansion Anchor Bolt for Power Hardware & Concrete Mounting | YiHaoPower

The Expansion Anchor Bolt (Sleeve Type Concrete Anchor) is a heavy-duty mechanical fastener engineered for anchoring cable tray brackets, electrical enclosures, conduit supports, and grounding equipment into solid concrete and masonry.

  • High Pull-Out Load Capacity: Precision expansion sleeve expands uniformly against borehole walls to deliver maximum tensile shear strength and pull-out resistance.
  • Premium Stainless & Galvanized Options: Manufactured from high-purity austenitic stainless steel (A2-70 / A4-70) and heavy zinc-plated carbon steel for all-weather corrosion protection.
  • Pre-Assembled Fastener Kit: Supplied as a complete unit including threaded stud, slotted expansion sleeve, flat washer, spring lock washer, and heavy hex nut.
  • Fast Through-Fixing Installation: Allows direct through-mounting into drilled concrete holes without removing the fixture during installation.

Product Overview: Expansion Anchor Bolt

The Expansion Anchor Bolt (EAB Series Heavy-Duty Sleeve Anchors) is a critical masonry anchoring fitting widely deployed across power substations, industrial plant construction, cable management installations, and equipment base mounting. Manufactured by YiHao Power, our expansion anchors are produced from high-tensile carbon steel and premium A2-70 / A4-70 stainless steel alloys. Engineered to comply with international manufacturing and safety specifications for heavy construction fasteners, each Expansion Anchor Bolt provides dependable mechanical gripping force, high shear resistance, and long-term joint stability under heavy static and vibrational loads.

Key Performance Features of Our Expansion Anchor Bolt

  • 360-Degree Uniform Expansion: As the conical bolt end is drawn into the expansion sleeve during tightening, the sleeve outwards expands tightly against the concrete hole wall, creating a permanent high-friction mechanical anchor.
  • Vibration Resistance & Lock Washer Assembly: Equipped with heavy-duty spring lock washers to prevent nut loosening caused by machinery vibration or thermal contraction cycles.
  • Superior Outdoor Anti-Corrosion Options: Stainless steel variants offer complete immunity to groundwater moisture, marine salt spray, and chemical exposure in harsh industrial environments.
  • High Shear & Tensile Ratings: Cold-formed steel body and heavy sleeve walls ensure structural rigidity under overhead hanger loads and side-shear stresses.

Installation Guidelines for Concrete Mounting

Proper installation of an Expansion Anchor Bolt ensures maximum holding capacity in concrete and masonry structures. Follow these standard field practices:

  1. Drilling the Hole: Use a hammer drill with a masonry bit matching the anchor sleeve outer diameter. Drill to the specified depth.
  2. Hole Cleaning: Thoroughly blow out concrete dust and debris from the drilled hole using a wire brush and air pump to maximize friction grip.
  3. Anchor Insertion & Torquing: Insert the assembled anchor through the fixture mounting hole into the concrete. Tap lightly with a hammer until flush, then tighten the hex nut to the required torque setting using a manual wrench.

Primary Application Scenarios Across Industrial Facilities

Our premium expansion anchor fasteners are widely deployed across global power and infrastructure projects, including:

  • Cable tray cantilever brackets, ladder rack supports, and wall-mounted raceways.
  • Electrical distribution cabinets, control panels, and transformer base plate floor anchoring.
  • Equipotential grounding busbars, earth lead brackets, and lightning down-conductor clamps.
  • Structural steel posts, pipe hangars, and conduit support brackets on concrete ceilings and walls.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: How do I select the correct drill bit size for an Expansion Anchor Bolt?

A1: Always match the drill bit diameter to the outer sleeve diameter of the anchor bolt rather than the inner thread diameter to ensure proper friction expansion.

Q2: Can sleeve expansion anchors be used in hollow brick or drywall?

A2: Mechanical sleeve anchors require solid concrete, stone, or solid brick for maximum expansion force and should not be used in lightweight hollow drywall.

Quality Assurance & Factory Testing

Every batch of Expansion Anchor Bolt products manufactured by YiHao Power undergoes rigorous quality control inspection before dispatch. Our testing protocols include dimensional tolerance checks, concrete pull-out force testing, tensile load testing, and plating/corrosion thickness verification.
