Unisorb Vector Bolts

Unisorb Vector Bolts are designed to generate exceptional holding power for machinery anchoring and grouting. Made of forged steel, Vector Bolts use angular facets to resolve vertical stress forces into a cone-shaped pressure pattern, increasing contact area between the bolt and grout. A wedge-shaped base transfers tensile load into a lateral compression load in the foundation to help achieve maximum pull out strength while reducing required embedment depth, drilling, and grouting requirements.

Key Features

  • Forged steel anchor bolt designed for high holding power.
  • Angular facets increase surface contact between bolt and grout.
  • Wedge base transfers tensile load into lateral compression load in the foundation.
  • Increased load transfer can reduce embedment depth and installation cost.
  • Available in diameters and lengths in 90,000 psi minimum tensile strength material.
  • Typical installations use spherical washer sets and lock collar and o-ring sets at the machine base.

Applications

  • Machinery anchoring in pre-cast or core-drilled grout cavities.
  • Machine tool and equipment installations where high pull out strength is required.
  • Anchoring systems used with epoxy or cementitious grouts.
  • Situations where reduced drilling and grout volume can lower installation time and cost.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes Vector Bolts different from standard anchors?
The angular facets resolve vertical stress forces into a cone-shaped pressure pattern and increase contact area between the bolt and grout. The wedge-shaped base transfers tensile load into a lateral compression load in the foundation to help maximize pull out strength.

What is the minimum tensile strength material listed for Vector Bolts?
Vector Bolts are available in a 90,000 psi minimum tensile strength material.

What is the typical installation sequence?
Typical steps include: foundation preparation, positioning the machine over grout cavities, attaching Vector Bolts with spherical washer sets and lock collar and o-ring sets, lowering the machine, pouring grout, and final setting after grout cures.
