■ Product Description
Elevator Anchor is a self-undercutting mechanical anchor designed specifically for elevator rail and guide rail installations. The anchor features a dual-action expansion mechanism: the lower cone creates an initial interlock while secondary expansion segments engage the concrete walls as the bolt is torqued. This provides a vibration-resistant, secure fixing essential for elevator safety systems where any loosening is unacceptable.
Step 1 - DRILL
Use a hammer drill with the specified carbide bit diameter to drill through the fixture and into the concrete to the required embedment depth.
Step 2 - CLEAN
Remove all dust and debris from the hole using a compressed-air blow gun and a hole brush. Repeat blowing and brushing until the hole is clean.
Step 3 - INSERT
Insert the elevator anchor through the fixture into the hole to the required embedment depth. The anchor should be flush with or below the fixture surface and unexpanded.
Step 4 - TORQUE
Tighten the hex nut with a torque wrench to the specified installation torque. This applies force that expands the lower sleeve to bear against the concrete and lock in place.
Step 5 - VERIFY
Verify the anchor is fully set and securely fastened. The expansion mechanism is engaged and the anchor is ready to support the intended load.
