Rebar Rock Bolts
TANDEM ANCHOR®
Components
- #6 (3/4") or #7 (7/8") headed rebar
- expansion shell (usually D8)
- support nut
- washer (2" or 2-1/4")
- for 1-3/8" or 1-1/2" drill holes
- TANDEM ANCHOR® Bolts are "POINT ANCHOR BOLTS" because the full length of the bolt is placed under tension. Resin is inserted into the drilled hole followed by the bolt. Rotation of the bolt mixes the resin and causes the expansion shell to expand and place the bolt in tension. This system incorporates both mechanical (expansion shell) and resin anchorage.
Two Piece TANDEM ANCHOR®
Components
- #6 (3/4") or #7 (7/8") rebar
- 5/8" or 3/4" headed smooth bar
- coupling
- expansion shell (usually D8)
- support nut
- washer (2" or 2-1/4")
- TANDEM ANCHOR® Combos are "POINT ANCHORS". The primary difference in this unit and the TANDEM ANCHOR® is the utilization of two or more individual rods to create a single bolt. This is necessary when the bolt, to be installed, is longer than the coal seam is high and the bending of a single bolt is difficult or impossible.
