Mechanical Anchors

Secure, Reliable & High-Performance Fixings With Mechanical Anchors

Mechanical anchors are essential for high strength, secure fixings in construction and industrial applications. Designed to provide immediate load-bearing capacity, they offer fast installation, durability, and versatility in a wide range of materials, including concrete, masonry, and stone. Hilti offers a comprehensive range of mechanical anchors designed for high loads, seismic applications and extreme conditions.

What Are Mechanical Anchors?

Mechanical anchors are fixing solutions that expand or grip into a base material to provide a secure connection. Unlike chemical anchors, mechanical anchors provide immediate load-bearing capacity, making them ideal for time-sensitive installations. Some anchors expand in the drilled hole, while others rely on thread engagement or undercutting technology to provide a secure hold.

Types of Mechanical Anchors Available at Hilti

Hilti offers a wide range of mechanical anchors tailored to different applications, ensuring safe and efficient fixing in a variety of materials:

Wedge Anchors

Wedge anchors expand when tightened, creating a secure grip in the drilled hole. Ideal for structural steel, floor slabs and heavy machinery installations.

Sleeve Anchors

The expansion sleeve of sleeve anchors distributes the load evenly, making them suitable for medium to heavy-duty applications such as handrails, facades and electrical installations.

Undercut Anchors

Undercut fixings are ideal for critical applications such as seismic zones, nuclear facilities and high rise buildings.

Screw Anchors

Screw anchors cut directly into the concrete, eliminating the need for expansion forces, making them ideal for temporary fixings or applications with close edge spacing.

Flush Anchors

Flush anchors are often used for aesthetic installations, ceiling fixings and architectural applications.

Nail-in Anchors

Nail-in fixings are ideal for light duty fixings such as cable trays, brackets, and small electrical conduits.

Plasterboard Anchors

Designed specifically for drywall and plasterboard fixings, these anchors provide a secure hold in hollow walls without damaging the surface.

Plastic Anchors

The plastic fastener's expansion mechanism ensures a firm grip. Ideal for wall plugs, furniture fixing and small fixtures.

Insulation Anchors

Insulation anchors provide strong thermal insulation fixing solutions for External Thermal Insulation Composite Systems (ETICS) and other energy efficient building projects.

Wood Connectors / Anchors

These anchors provide a secure connection between wood and concrete or masonry and are commonly used in timber construction, decking, and framing.

Elevators

Lift anchors are special fixings designed to meet high safety standards in lift installations, ensuring secure and vibration resistant connections.
