From complex infrastructure projects to do-it-yourself ventures, Simpson Strong-Tie offers a wide variety of mechanical anchoring products to meet virtually any need.
or Give us a Call
Product Summary
Our mechanical anchors are designed to install easily and securely into a variety of base materials — from concrete and brick to hollow and grouted CMU. They offer optimal performance even in the most demanding structural applications. For applications where there is a risk of concrete cracking, specific anchors have been designed and tested to offer reliability under these conditions.
Features and Benefits
Simpson Strong-Tie offers a comprehensive range of anchoring systems designed to provide secure and reliable connections for a variety of construction applications. These systems are engineered to meet the rigorous demands of modern building projects, ensuring structural integrity and long-term performance.
Within the Fasteners category, Simpson Strong-Tie provides advanced solutions across several key areas, including Adhesives, Mechanical Anchors, Powder-Actuated Fastening, and Gas-Actuated Fastening. Each of these sub-categories represents a specialized approach to fastening, offering distinct advantages depending on the specific project requirements and materials being used.
Adhesives: Simpson Strong-Tie's adhesive anchoring systems utilize high-strength chemical formulations to bond anchors securely into concrete and masonry substrates. These adhesives are formulated for exceptional pull-out strength and resistance to environmental factors, making them ideal for applications requiring superior load-bearing capacity and durability. They offer a clean installation process with minimal vibration, which is particularly beneficial in sensitive structures or when working with brittle materials.
Mechanical Anchors: The mechanical anchoring solutions from Simpson Strong-Tie are designed for robust and dependable fastening. This range includes various types of anchors such as expansion anchors, wedge anchors, and screw anchors. These products rely on mechanical principles, like expansion or friction, to create a strong hold within the base material. They are often chosen for their ease of installation, immediate load-carrying capabilities, and suitability for a wide array of conditions, including wet or contaminated environments.
Powder-Actuated Fastening: For rapid and efficient fastening into concrete, steel, and masonry, Simpson Strong-Tie offers powder-actuated fastening systems. These tools utilize the controlled energy of a small explosive charge to drive fasteners into the substrate. This method is exceptionally fast and cost-effective for high-volume applications, such as attaching structural elements, electrical boxes, or framing to hard surfaces. The system is designed with safety features to ensure reliable and controlled operation.
Gas-Actuated Fastening: Complementing their powder-actuated offerings, Simpson Strong-Tie also provides gas-actuated fastening systems. These tools use compressed gas, typically from a fuel cell, to drive fasteners. Gas-actuated systems are known for their portability, ease of use, and ability to provide consistent fastening in a variety of conditions. They are well-suited for applications where power cords or compressed air lines are impractical, offering a versatile solution for wood-to-concrete, wood-to-steel, and similar connections.
Across all its anchoring system categories, Simpson Strong-Tie prioritizes product innovation, rigorous testing, and adherence to industry standards. This commitment ensures that builders, engineers, and contractors have access to reliable, high-performance fastening solutions that contribute to the safety and longevity of their projects.
Construction and materials
Simpson Strong-Tie offers a comprehensive range of fasteners designed for structural connections and anchoring applications. These products are engineered to provide reliable and high-performance solutions for various construction needs.
Materials and Construction
The materials used in Simpson Strong-Tie fasteners are selected for their strength, durability, and resistance to environmental factors. Common materials include:
- Steel: High-strength steel alloys are frequently used for their load-bearing capabilities. Many steel components are galvanized or coated to enhance corrosion resistance.
- Stainless Steel: For applications requiring superior corrosion resistance, especially in harsh environments or coastal areas, stainless steel options are available.
- Concrete: Mechanical anchors often incorporate hardened steel components designed to embed securely into concrete.
- Adhesives: Chemical anchoring systems utilize specialized epoxy or resin-based adhesives that bond to the anchor rod and the base material, creating a robust connection.
The construction of these fasteners varies depending on their intended use:
- Mechanical Anchors: These typically consist of an anchor body, expansion mechanism, and a threaded rod. Upon installation and tightening, the expansion mechanism engages with the base material to create a secure hold.
- Adhesives: Chemical anchors are comprised of an adhesive cartridge and a threaded rod or rebar. The adhesive is injected into a pre-drilled hole, and the anchor element is inserted to create a chemical bond.
- Powder-Actuated and Gas-Actuated Fasteners: These systems use controlled explosive charges to drive fasteners into materials like concrete, steel, or masonry. The fasteners are designed to withstand the high-velocity impact and create a permanent fixture.
Product Categories
Simpson Strong-Tie's fastener product lines cater to diverse structural fastening requirements:
- Anchoring Systems: This broad category encompasses solutions for securing structural elements to concrete, masonry, or steel. It includes mechanical anchors, adhesive anchors, and specialized anchor bolts.
- Adhesives: These are specifically formulated chemical anchoring solutions designed for high-strength bonding in critical applications, offering alternatives to traditional mechanical fastening.
- Mechanical Anchors: A wide array of mechanical anchor types are offered, including expansion anchors, wedge anchors, sleeve anchors, and screw anchors, each suited for different load requirements and base materials.
- Powder-Actuated Fastening: This system provides a rapid and efficient method for fastening structural components to concrete and steel, utilizing specialized tools and fasteners.
- Gas-Actuated Fastening: Similar to powder-actuated systems, gas-actuated fastening offers a convenient and versatile method for attaching materials to concrete and steel using cordless tools.
