Anchor clamps are key elements in the production of prestressed concrete products, ensuring that reinforcing bars and steel strands are securely held and connected. Paul, a recognized leader in this field, offers a wide range of anchor clamps that meet the highest standards of quality and safety.
Construction and materials
Paul anchor clamps consist of two main components: the body and the clamping wedges. The body is manufactured from high-strength alloy steel that has been thoroughly tested to ensure that it is free from structural defects. Each housing is ultrasonically tested before production to ensure reliability and durability.
Clamping wedges are made of cemented steel with subsequent hardening. The process of their manufacture is fully automated, which ensures high accuracy of dimensions and shape of teeth. Each wedge undergoes computerized control for hardness and compliance with the specified parameters.
Types of anchor clamps
Paul offers several types of anchor grips designed for different applications:
1. Type “A” open grips: Easy to operate and maintain, they are often used on the load side of the bed. Their design minimizes retraction losses when used with hydraulically interlocked single wire jacks. They are also easy to remove and clean.
2. Type “F” Closed grips: Designed to be mounted on the unloaded side of the bed. They have a bayonet or screw-on cap, which speeds up the installation process when preloaded and prevents loss of wedges. However, they can be more difficult to clean than open grips.
3. “K” type couplings: used to connect reinforcing bars of equal or different diameters, thus reducing steel consumption during prestressing.
Advantages of Paul anchor clamps
