M8 Rawl Shield Anchor – Detailed Description
The M8 Rawl Shield Anchor is a heavy-duty mechanical expansion anchor designed to provide strong, secure fastening in solid base materials like concrete, brick, and natural stone. It consists of a split expansion shield, a tapered internal plug, and a threaded bolt, which together ensure maximum holding power when tightened.
When the bolt is inserted and tightened, the tapered plug expands the shield against the sides of the drilled hole, creating a firm mechanical grip. This makes the M8 Rawl Shield Anchor ideal for medium to heavy load applications such as securing structural supports, machinery, handrails, shelving brackets, and signage.
With high resistance to vibration and pull-out forces, these anchors are trusted in both industrial and construction settings where safety and reliability are critical.
