Anchor grips for prestressed concrete production: reliability and efficiency in prestressed concrete production
In modern construction, prestressed reinforced concrete occupies a key position due to its strength and durability. One of the most important components in prestressed construction technology are anchor clamps for reinforced concrete products, which ensure reliable fixation of reinforcement and steel strands.
The role of anchor grips in the production of prestressed reinforced concrete products.
Reinforced concrete anchor grips are used to secure or connect various types of rebar, wire or stranded steel strands during the production of prestressed concrete products. Their main function is to hold the tension of the reinforcement until the concrete hardens, which makes it possible to create structures with increased load-bearing capacity and resistance to external loads.
Design and types of anchor clamps for prestressed concrete products
The standard anchor clamp consists of a body and clamping wedges. The body is made of high-strength alloy steel, tested to be free of cracks and other defects. The clamping wedges are made of cemented steel, are automatically machined, hardened and subjected to thorough quality control to ensure their durability and reliability.
There are several types of prestressed concrete anchor clamps, each designed for specific service conditions:
- Open type “A”: Simple design, easy to clean and maintain. Widely used in prestressed concrete product manufacturing plants.
- Closed type “F”: Equipped with threaded or pinned plugs for quick installation and reliable fixation of reinforcement. Requires more careful maintenance.
- Connecting socket type “K”: Designed to join reinforcing bars or strands of equal or different diameters, providing a strong connection without loss of strength.

FAQ on anchor clamps for prestressed concrete production
- What are anchor clamps and what are they used for?
Anchor clamps for prestressed concrete products are special devices designed to hold rebar or steel strands in place during the production of prestressed concrete products. They hold the rebar tension until the concrete hardens, increasing the strength and durability of the structure.
- What types of anchor clamps are there?
There are several types:
- Open (Type “A”) – easy to maintain and clean.
- Closed (type “F”) – have plugs for quick locking.
- Couplings (type “K”) – used for joining fittings.
- What materials are used for manufacturing anchor clamps?
The body of anchor clamps is made of high-strength alloy steel, and the clamping wedges are made of cemented steel, heat-treated to increase strength.
- How do I choose the right anchor clamp?
The choice depends on the diameter and type of reinforcement, the load, and the operating conditions. It is important to consider concrete characteristics, design requirements and compatibility with the tensioning systems used.
- Can anchor clamps be reused?
Some models allow reuse provided there is no damage. However, the clamping wedges will wear out over time and need to be replaced.
- What are the advantages of PAUL reinforced concrete anchor clamps?
They are characterized by high strength, precision manufacturing, durability and comply with international standards. They are manufactured using modern technologies and undergo strict quality control.
- Where to buy PAUL anchor clamps?
The official supplier in the Ukrainian market is the company TDM-Engineering Oy, which offers a wide range of products and technical support.
- How to properly maintain anchor clamps?
Regularly check the condition of the parts, clean them from dirt and monitor the degree of wear of the clamping wedges. If necessary, replace worn parts.
