High Quality Anchors Stainless Steel Tam Anchor

Tam Anchor: High-Performance Expansion Fastener for Secure Fixing in Concrete, Stone, and Metal

The TAM anchor is a premium expansion fastening solution engineered for reliability, ease of installation, and superior holding strength across diverse construction applications. This innovative anchor features a seamless steel body formed from a single plate, precision-forged into a Vlinder shape with four shield sections—each separated yet interconnected via a robust punch mechanism. Known also as a shield anchor, tam shield anchor, or heavy-duty Expansion Bolt, it excels in environments where durability and anti-rotation performance are critical.

Key advantages include double fins and textured scales along the surface that prevent unwanted rotation during installation while enhancing pre-drilling efficiency. A red plastic plug embedded in the conical Nut safeguards internal threading from dust, debris, and moisture, ensuring smooth engagement and long-term operational freedom. The anchor’s design supports quick deployment without compromising structural integrity—a must-have for professionals working with concrete, dense natural stone, metal profiles, brackets, railings, façade cladding systems, and industrial machinery.

Designed for versatility, this anchor system is ideal for fixing architectural elements such as marble panels, ceramic tiles, aluminum composite materials, and curtain wall components. It’s commonly referred to in industry contexts as a shell Bolt, stone fixing system, or cladding anchor. Whether you're installing support plates, beams, signage, or mechanical equipment, the TAM anchor delivers consistent load-bearing capacity and resistance to vibration-induced loosening.

To install, simply drill a hole using a bit matching the anchor’s diameter to the minimum embedment depth recommended by the manufacturer. Insert the Anchor Bolt fully into the prepared hole, then tighten the nut until full expansion occurs. No special tools required—just a standard wrench or power driver. Its modular structure ensures compatibility with both soft and hard substrates, making it a top choice among contractors, engineers, and maintenance teams worldwide.

Users praise its straightforward setup process and reliable grip in challenging conditions—from high-rise buildings to marine infrastructure projects. Many note how the integrated anti-rotation feature reduces rework time and improves overall job quality. Installation speed combined with minimal risk of thread damage makes it a preferred option over traditional toggle bolts or Sleeve Anchors in demanding applications.

Frequently asked questions often revolve around material compatibility, maximum load ratings, and proper drilling techniques. While the anchor performs optimally in concrete (minimum compressive strength 20 MPa) and dense granite or marble, it should not be used in lightweight or porous materials like hollow brick or foam concrete. Always verify local building codes before application. For optimal results, ensure clean, dry holes free of oil residue or loose particles prior to insertion.
