Quick and easy axial stabilization with pre-grouted options.
DYWIDAG Friction Stabilizers are mainly used for rock reinforcement in underground applications. The quick and easy installation combined with superior performance means it is one of the most popular solutions for hard rock mining.
The shaft of the DYWIDAG Friction Stabilizer consists of a metal strip which is folded to form a slotted tube. The bolt is driven into a borehole, which has a slightly smaller diameter than the outer diameter of the bolt tube. This creates a bond between the borehole and the bolt shaft, which provides excellent frictional resistance in axial direction.
Cement cartridges are available for a pre-grouted option, which provides improved pull-out resistance and shear capacity yet with the same easy installation method.
