Drop In Anchor

A Drop-In Anchor, a female-threaded mechanical anchor used for fastening objects into a solid base material like concrete. It is made of a cylindrical body, a hole inside with thread, and an expansion mechanism. Drop-In anchoring may be used when the desired permanent fixation is made because it serves the anchoring hole made into a ready-made drilled hole.

Applications of Drop-In Anchors

Drop-In Anchors are quite useful in the construction, manufacturing, and infrastructure sectors. Some of the examples of their uses include:

Construction:
Attachment of rails and guards as well as other structural support member.
Suspended overhead piping with cable trays.
Industrial Projects:
Attachment of heavy machineries or equipment;
Fastening shelving systems and storage systems.
Infrastructure Development:
Uses for temporary scaffold fastening;
Joining structural members through a bolt attachment, e.g., beams and columns.
Marine:
Anchorages for hardware into the concrete structures.
Electrical Installations:
Fixture and conduit hanging.

Types of Usage of Drop-In Anchors

Drop-In Anchors are among the best anchors for tensile load and thus are recommended in large structural projects.
Suspension from Ceilings: For attachment of either threaded rods or compulsory suspension from ceilings.
Permanent Fixations: Applied in permanent-use attachments requiring durable and tampering-proof anchoring.
General Use: Suits with various threaded fasteners, use in different environments.

Benefits of Drop-In Anchors

Heavy Load Capacity: Stable enough to carry really heavy load.
Easy Installation: Installation brushed in a wink with very simple devices.
Flexible Scope: Applies in many different target fields and base materials, including concrete and solid masonry.
Corrosion Resistance: Can use stainless steel and other materials to resist bad weather conditions, such as marine environment or exposure to chemicals.
Durable and Reliable: Drop-It anchors stay in active service long after they have been installed — often many times without loosening due to severe vibration or wear due to lower use.
Compact Design: Consumes less space, only needing a shallow-hole requirement.
