High-Strength Undercut Mechanical Anchor

Undercut mechanical anchor consists of a threaded rod, thrust sleeve, flat washer, spring washer, and nut. It is a high-strength anchoring system that creates mechanical interlock through secondary hole expansion. The core principle involves: drilling a straight hole into the concrete substrate, then using specialized undercutting tools to carve an inverted cone-shaped cavity at the hole base. During installation, the expanding keys at the anchor’s front end are forced outward by the thrust sleeve, forming a three-dimensional mechanical interlock through tight engagement with the undercut cavity, thereby transferring loads directly to deeper concrete layers.

Compared to conventional anchors, this structure significantly enhances pullout resistance and shear capacity, making it particularly suitable for concrete reinforcement applications subject to vibration, impact loads, or requiring ultra-high safety levels (e.g., bridges, heavy equipment foundations, seismic-resistant structures).

Product Overview


The Undercut Mechanical Anchor by TEDUN is a premium high-strength anchoring system designed for demanding environments requiring ultra-high safety. Composed of a high-tensile threaded rod, precision-engineered thrust sleeve, flat washer, spring washer, and nut, it creates a secure mechanical interlock with concrete via secondary hole expansion. The core principle: drill a straight hole into the substrate, then use specialized undercutting tools to carve an inverted cone-shaped cavity at the hole base. When installed, the anchor’s front-end expanding keys are forced outward by the thrust sleeve, locking into the cavity to transfer loads directly to deep concrete layers. Crafted from certified carbon steel (Grade 4.8–12.9) or stainless steel (201/304/316/410), this concrete undercut anchor exceeds ISO 898-1 Grade 8.8 standards and holds Class S safety certification, making it ideal for seismic-resistant and heavy-load projects.

Product Advantages


Shallow Embedment, High Load Capacity

The mechanical key-locking effect of the Undercut Mechanical Anchor allows shallow embedment depths while maintaining exceptional pullout resistance and shear capacity—perfect for projects with limited substrate thickness (e.g., prefabricated buildings).


Near-Zero Expansion Stress

This anchor generates minimal expansion stress, enabling anchoring at minimal edge distances without damaging the substrate. It’s a top choice for edge-distance-sensitive projects like curtain wall mullion installations.


Immediate Full Load Capacity

No curing time is needed. After installation, the Undercut Mechanical Anchor delivers immediate full design load capacity, accelerating project timelines compared to chemical anchors.


Seismic & Fatigue Resistance

Certified to ACI 355.4 Category 3 (seismic compliance) and capable of withstanding 2 million fatigue cycles (EN 1992-4), this seismic-resistant undercut anchor performs reliably in dynamic environments (e.g., bridges, heavy equipment foundations).


Fire & Corrosion Protection

With fire resistance certified to EOTA TR 048 (90min/800°C), it meets strict fire safety standards. Surface treatments include electro zinc plating (zinc layer >5um for general use) and hot-dip zinc plating (zinc layer >45um for corrosive areas like coastal regions).



Detail Data


The Undercut Mechanical Anchor offers diverse models for varied project needs. Key specifications include:


Model M10/14*40: Drilling diameter 14mm, effective anchoring depth 40mm, drilling depth 45mm, screw length 80mm, fixture aperture 12mm, minimum bolt distance 16mm, minimum substrate thickness 80mm.

Model M12/18*80: Drilling diameter 18mm, effective anchoring depth 80mm, drilling depth 90mm, screw length 130mm, fixture aperture 14mm, minimum bolt distance 20mm, minimum substrate thickness 120mm.

Model M20/28*200: Drilling diameter 28mm, effective anchoring depth 200mm, drilling depth 220mm, screw length 300mm, fixture aperture 24mm, minimum bolt distance 32mm, minimum substrate thickness 290mm.


For C30 non-cracked concrete, Grade 8.8 variants offer tensile design values up to 58.8kN and shear design values up to 55.2kN; 316L(A4-80) stainless steel variants match these load capacities for corrosive environments.
