HILTI anchor fasteners are certified in accordance with international and domestic standards and have a high safety factor and are particularly reliable fasteners.
Each anchor has its own load safety factor, but not less than 2. All fasteners are galvanized or stainless steel, which increases their durability.
You can order a free visit from a HILTI specialist for consultation to the site or office, and specialists can also test the load-bearing capacity of the anchor for pull-out directly at the construction site. If necessary, specialists will calculate anchor connections and also analyze the reliability of fasteners for dynamically loaded elements. Find out detailed information from your local HILTI representatives.
When designing projects, I often use the HILTI AutoCAD catalog and blocks.
The catalog provides detailed information on which HILTI anchor should be used in a particular material, and also indicates the technical characteristics of the fastener.
The table below provides a short list of fasteners that must be used when installing in various materials:
Design features
The anchor bolt can have different sizes, but structurally consists of the following main elements:
- threaded rod (has a cone-shaped head at the end);
- outer sleeve;
- lock nut;
- washer.
The inner rod is threaded to established standards and looks like a regular bolt. The main difference is its head. It is made under a cone, which makes it easier to expand the lower part of the sleeve. Its dimensions are determined by the requirements for the reliability of fastening of specific products (their dimensions and weight).
The bushing is made in the form of a cast rod. It has longitudinal slits that resemble petals. Thanks to them, during the fastening process, this part of the sleeve expands, which significantly increases the effect of adhesion of the anchor to the hole. The sleeve is made of metal. Like the entire anchor, it is covered with an anti-corrosion layer. It ensures its durability.
The lock nut has a hexagonal design. Some designs use a nut with a pressed washer.
The operating principle of such a device is to create the effect of reliable fastening in a pre-prepared hole. This can be achieved due to the fact that during the process of tightening the nut of the inserted anchor, the petals of the stud expand. It fits tightly to the walls of the hole, which significantly increases the friction force. The permissible load on the entire structure increases many times over. To prevent excessive deepening of the nut, a special lock washer is used.
To more accurately select the dimensions of the required anchor bolt, a special table has been developed. It shows the dimensions of the products and their main technical characteristics. Before installing the anchor, it is necessary to develop a drawing of the future fastening. With its help, the type, its diameter and length of the anchor bolt are selected.
Anchor blocks or anchor groups are very widespread. The wide range of applications of these fasteners is created by their simple and stable design, as well as a large selection of models. This type of metal products is used today as a reliable fastener to the base of foundations of various large equipment, structures used in construction and for other industrial purposes. of anchor blocks produced by the Nedwals Company provides one of the most reliable fixations of building structures, which ensures the speed of installation of construction projects. Why anchor blocks provide such reliable fastening between the dimensional elements of buildings? The secret is actually simple, these are anchor bolts, welded together using high-quality rolled metal with precise adherence to the center distances. Thanks to this system, the structure can withstand enormous loads and hold rigid ligaments.
Where are anchor groups used? Anchor blocks in Novosibirsk are most often used in the field of concreting and monolithic construction. They are also used in connecting dimensional structural elements made of metal or reinforced concrete, strengthening parts of buildings on the base, and for attaching heavy structures to the foundation. Often, using manufactured anchor blocks in accordance with GOST, diesel generators, heating boilers, fireplaces, gas installations and other equipment are attached to a reinforced concrete base.
The price of anchor blocks depends on the number of studs and the design of the fastening reinforcement. Welded structures can consist of 4 studs or bolts, fastened with metal flanges or plates. The design of each type differs in the shape of the component parts, degree of reliability and price.
What are the benefits of anchor groups? Durability. Several types of steel are used in the manufacture of anchor blocks This technology makes anchor blocks in Novosibirsk almost wear-free; their service life lasts several decades. The design is resistant to the influence of adverse external factors thanks to a special special coating, which helps protect against corrosion.
Manufacturability . The production process of anchor blocks in accordance with GOST is carried out under strict control. When creating them, all accepted standards are observed, so after production, high-quality blocks with high performance and characteristics are obtained. To improve the performance properties of the product, profile materials made of high-strength steel are used. The process itself is fully automated, which eliminates the human factor and allows you to maintain a favorable price for anchor blocks .
Design feature . Anchor blocks have very precise geometric characteristics. A clear calculation of their design makes it possible to maintain the correct distance between the ends of the studs. It is thanks to these calculations that the supporting structures and foundation have strong adhesion. of anchor blocks in Novosibirsk is calculated in advance. The design of anchor blocks is tested using an anchor-loading mechanism. This process is called “load-locking” and is a visual test of the load-bearing capacity of each anchor.
Large selection of shapes. Thanks to their prefabricated design, anchor blocks Typically, to create the shape of an anchor block in Novosibirsk, a welded frame structure made of various profile materials, such as a channel, angle, circle, strip, reinforcement, etc. is used. or in arbitrary combinations of these profiles with each other.
According to the customer's individual project. The Nedwals company produces anchor blocks in accordance with GOST , as well as according to customer drawings. At the same time the price of anchor blocks is also calculated according to an individual scheme according to the design documentation. Bolts in anchor blocks can be fastened to each other in a variety of ways, according to your order.
Main types of anchor blocks.
Angle anchor block. It has a simple design, which includes a welded frame made of metal angle and 4 studs. The block is welded from a metal corner in the form of a rectangular frame, the studs are located in its corners and come out after concreting.
Anchor block on flanges. It consists of 6 studs welded into two steel flanges, this increases the reliability of the structure. Flanges create and guarantee reliable fixation of studs in the structure.
Anchor block with plate. It differs in a much more durable design from a product with flanges, as solid steel plates are used.
The Nedwals plant produces anchor blocks in Novosibirsk for various industrial and construction purposes. During the manufacture of such products, only modern technologies are used. All anchor blocks are produced only in accordance with GOST, so they are characterized by high strength, reliability and durability.
We remember our customers and try to maintain reasonable prices for anchor blocks . You can place an order for anchor groups on our website or by contacting our managers. Our employees know the production features and the smallest design details inside and out.
Types of anchor bolts
The classification of anchor bolts offered by modern manufacturers is based on many parameters. They all fall into two categories:
- with mechanical fixation;
- the use of chemical adhesive fillers;
- on vibrocaulking.
In the first case, the reliability of the fastening is ensured by creating conditions that significantly increase the friction force. In the second, fastening is added to the initial effect (mechanical fastening) through the use of reliable adhesive joints. In this case, the effect of adhesiveness is used - the ability of the adhesive to penetrate into the pores of the material where the sleeve is placed. To implement the fastening, you need a tube of adhesive and a special gun. First, glue is squeezed into the hole. Then the anchor bolt is driven in. Such anchors are used for fastening structures in some brands of cellular concrete or in walls made of material with a porous structure.
In more detail, the types of anchor bolts are classified according to the following parameters:
- purpose and scope of application;
- form of design;
- geometric dimensions;
- type of fastening;
- head shape;
- bushing material.
The purpose and scope of application is given in more detail below.
According to the design form, the following types of anchor bolts are distinguished:
- design with hook-shaped tips;
- with a ring attached to the tip;
- with a fixed nut;
- stud anchor.
The installed hooks are used for subsequent installation of suspended structures. Products that have a hanging system on ropes or cables are attached to the finished rings. There are anchor bolts with a fixed nut. This allows you to set the depth of screwing in the anchor. The latest design has fastenings on both sides. They are tightened with a nut. Most often, such bolts are equipped with a cone-shaped working part of the sleeve. The use of this design allows you to select the most optimal pressure on the walls of the hole, that is, the adhesion force of the anchor and the wall.
Stud anchors are divided into HAS and HST designs. They allow you to work in concrete prone to cracking. They are used for through fastening.
Based on the type of fastening in the wall or ceiling, anchors are divided into two categories: expansion and wedge. The first type is most widespread. In practice, one and two spacer structures are used. The second type of product is equipped with two sleeves, which increases resistance and improves the reliability of fastening.
The shape of the anchor bolt heads is either a turnkey or a screwdriver. In the second case, the most common are threads for a Phillips screwdriver.
Depending on the type of fastening, it is divided into:
- ordinary anchor bolt;
- bolt with sleeve and nut;
- expansion type collet bolt;
- driven anchor bolt.
All these structures work on the principle of expanding the bushing at the moment the bolt shaft is tightened. The most complex design of the bushing is the collet bolt. Four cuts are made on its surface. Therefore, at the moment of screwing in, its end takes the shape of four petals, which increases the reliability of the installation. The drive-in anchor has a cone-shaped sleeve with internal slots. As the anchor is driven into the hole, the sleeve compresses and the central notched parts expand.
Anchor bolts are made of steel or brass. In accordance with standards and building codes, steel is selected depending on the application and operating conditions of the fasteners. In some cases, certain grades of carbon steel are used, for example VSt3kp2; for low-temperature conditions, low-alloy steel grade 09G2S-8 or their analogs are used.
Designation of anchor bolts in the drawings
Fasteners are used to connect various parts of structures. Fasteners (and this is what fasteners are often called in everyday life) include screws, bolts, nuts, self-tapping screws, screws, rivets, studs, pins, washers, dowels, etc.
In technology, one of the most important and widespread detachable connections is the bolted one. Its main advantage is that when using it, it is not necessary to cut threads on the parts that are fastened together. This feature of a bolted connection is especially important when the material from which the parts being connected are made is not able to provide the required thread strength and durability.
Bolted connections also have their disadvantages. These include, for example, that to implement it, there must be enough space on the parts being connected to accommodate the head of a screw or nut. In addition, during the process of screwing or unscrewing nuts, you need to hold the screw head to prevent rotation. It should also be noted that compared to, say, a screw connection, a bolted connection leads to a greater increase in the mass of the finished product.
If for some reason it is impossible to install a bolted connection or it turns out to be irrational, then screws and studs are used. This, for example, is usually done when there is no way to provide access to the head (nut) or there is simply no space to place it. Another common case is the significant thickness of the parts, which results in the need for deep drilling and the use of long bolts.
Washers are used as backing elements. They are installed under the heads of screws or nuts in order to reduce the degree of deformation of parts by clamping elements when they are made of not very durable material (for example, wood, aluminum, plastic, etc.). In addition, with the help of washers, it is possible to prevent parts from being scratched when screwing a screw or nut, and also to compensate for significant hole clearance. As practice shows, using washers in other cases does not make much sense. If it is necessary to protect the connection from self-unscrewing, then safety or lock washers are also used.
Simplified and conventional images in general view drawings and assembly drawings of images of fasteners for all industries and construction are established by a document such as GOST 2.315 - 68.
The choice of a conventional or simplified image of fasteners in general view drawings and assembly drawings is made depending on the exact scale and purpose of each specific technical document. Conventional images are used for those fasteners whose rod diameters, when depicted in the drawings, are 2 millimeters or less. In this case, the rule that a complete picture of the nature of the connection must be given should be fully observed.
The use of conventional and simplified images of fasteners should be carried out in accordance with the tables below.

If objects on assembly drawings have several similar connections in their design, then the fasteners included in them in one or two places of each of them should be depicted in a simplified or conditional manner, and in other places it is enough to simply use axial or center lines.
Designation of fasteners in the drawing
In cases where the drawing contains a number of fastening groups that differ in size and type, it is better to apply them using symbols, indicating the position number only once.
If there are identical fastening groups on the construction drawings, then it is permissible to outline them with a thin solid line, and make an explanatory inscription on the leader shelf. As for the predominant fasteners, they are not outlined and are not specified in the general instructions for the drawing.

Spring washer (GOST 6402-70)
Washer
- a part placed under a nut or bolt head to prevent crushing of the surfaces of the parts being connected, to protect them from scratches when screwing in nuts, screws, and to bridge the gap between the bolt shaft and the hole in the parts.
According to the purpose of the washers there are:
Round washers (general purpose)
- to increase the support area if the supporting surface is made of soft material or uneven, as well as if the hole for the screw is oblong or of increased diameter (GOST 11371-78, 6958-78, 10450-78, 9649-78).
Oblique washers
— to eliminate distortion of the nut or screw head when tightening (GOST 10906-78).
Spherical and conical washers
— to eliminate distortion of the nut or screw head when tightening (GOST 13438-68, 13439-68).
Quick release washers
- used in devices to save time on removing a machined part and installing a new one.
Spring washers
— reduce the risk of self-unscrewing of screws or nuts due to the elastic forces of the compressed washer (GOST 6402-70).
Locking washers
— by bending their parts, the possibility of rotating the nut or screw relative to the supporting part is eliminated (GOST 466-77, 11872-89).
End washers
— prevent axial movement along the shaft of parts fixed or rotating on it (GOST 14734-69).
In assembly drawings and general view drawings, the image of fasteners (simplified or conditional) is chosen depending on the purpose and scale of the drawing. Fasteners whose rod diameters in the drawing are 2 mm or less are depicted conventionally. The size of the image should give a complete picture of the nature of the connection.
If the object shown in the assembly drawing has a number of similar connections, then the fasteners included in these connections should be shown conventionally or simplified in one or two places of each connection, and in the rest - with center or axial lines (Fig. 1).

Application
Each type of anchor developed is used to solve specific problems. Therefore, before starting work, it is necessary to determine what a specific sample is used for. According to the approved standard, the use of anchor bolts is carried out as follows:
- the mortgage is used at the stage of pouring concrete or producing brickwork;
- spacer allows you to attach massive structures to a concrete or brick base;
- wedges are used in connections where heavy loads are expected;
- bolts with a ring or hook are necessary for mounting suspended elements, fastening hinge joints, cables, chains or other tension structures;
- frame is used for installing doorways and window frames;
- using a façade anchor, various elements of building facades are secured;
- a ceiling anchor allows you to securely attach various elements of suspended structures to the ceiling (it must withstand the weight of any selected product);
- spring fasteners are used for mounting elements to thin-walled structures.
Before you begin choosing the necessary anchorage, you should consult with professionals. This will help avoid serious mistakes. The result of incorrect application will be difficult to correct.
Anchor design with bolt
An anchor bolt is an independent product consisting of several elements. It is enough to have a fastener with a size corresponding to the calculations, an attached element, a working surface and an appropriate hand tool.
No additional fasteners are required for the unit. This is an excellent advantage over prefabricated fastenings, where you still need to select the size of one element to another.
The design of the anchor bolt is simple and consists of:
- bolt , a fastener with a metric thread due to which the anchor is screwed into the prepared hole;
- flat washers , which allows you to distribute the load over a large surface when tightening the bolt;
- conical part , which, when the bolt is screwed in, rises up the thread and contributes to the expansion of the three wings of the bushing;
- spacer sleeve - a cylindrical element that, when expanded, fits into the base material.
Marking of anchor bolts
Since 2012, all anchor bolts have been marked in accordance with the interstate standard. Its requirements apply to the territory of the countries that have signed it. In this standard, the anchor bolt has the following designations:
- the first letter together with the number indicates the thread diameter, for example M8;
- the next number indicates the diameter of the drill that must be used to prepare the hole, for example 10;
- the number located after the slash means the thickness of the attached structure or product;
- the last digit located after the “x” sign indicates the minimum permissible depth of the prepared hole in millimeters, for example 90.
Combining all the designations, we get the following abbreviation - M10/35x100. On construction drawings and plans, the markings, in addition to digital symbols, have special signs. They are placed in a circle and indicate the type of anchorage used.
Anchor products manufactured in other countries have their own markings. For example, on anchors from the German company Fisher, the marking is as follows - FBN 12/100[+120][GS]. The first letters indicate the name of the product. The number 12 indicates the diameter of the anchor taking into account the thread. The second digit determines the useful length. The number in the first square brackets corresponds to the useful length. The last two letters indicate that the anchor is equipped with a wide washer.
Therefore, to correctly select the type of anchor bolts, it is necessary to understand in detail the marking system and clarify the necessary characteristics.
Advantages and disadvantages of anchor connections
The advantages of such connections are:
- have the best load capacity;
- supplied with a wide range of fixing elements;
- possibility of use in various environmental conditions;
- ease of use (there is no need to use specific equipment for installation);
- Possibility of application for static and dynamic structures.
The disadvantages of professionals include:
- the need for careful preparation of holes in durable structures;
- careful selection of anchor type;
- higher cost.
Correctly selected anchor fasteners will allow you to securely attach the structure to the wall, ceiling or floor. It will allow you to obtain a durable and reliable connection.
