These anchors are fully-threaded, torque-controlled, and designed for consistent performance in both cracked and uncracked concrete. Before we highlight some of your options, let’s talk about what expansion anchors entail. What are Expansion Anchors? Expansion Anchors can be used to describe the majority of concrete and masonry anchors. Expansion anchors have an expansion mechanism that is designed to compress against the base material. Each style of expansion anchor can have a different expansion mechanism, which can either be a sleeve, slotted shell, slotted stud, or wedge assembly. The expansion mechanisms are actuated by a tapered cone, tapered plug, nail, bolt, or screw depending on the anchor. The compression of the expansion mechanism against the wall of the drilled hole allows the anchor to transfer the load to the base material. Anchors that are expanded by tightening a bolt or nut are considered to be torque-controlled anchors.
