Brass Anchors are a type of Wedge Fasteners which are widely used for medium level application. The beauty of this type of Anchor is that it uses characteristics of comparative softness of Brass when used with screw for steel or stainless steel. Brass being a soft material in comparison to the other metals like mild steel or stainless steel, it has easy workability and production.
It is much thinner in diameter than other medium load anchors and provide much better pull out strength. Brass Anchor is also known as Messing Duebel in German, Chevilles Laiton in French etc. and is a loved product in European Countries where its applications range from Ceiling to hold structures for cabling. It is generally produced in Metric threads from M4 to M16 but Brass Anchors are also produced in inch threads for customers in USA and Israel.
The Most important factor to understand in Brass Anchors is its internal geometry and production consistency which provides it high quality performance. The material quality to be used is or major concern since it affects the workability and performance of the anchor
The IFTC and INDOFIX Group has been the first company to produce brass anchors in India in 1990 when it was considered to be the prerogative and specialization of the European companies. It was a big challenge for the Indofix Group to produce it but with the persistent efforts, research and development in the production methods and product design, Indofix group succeeded in a product that was at par with the quality standard of the European Companies. With great inhouse testing facilities, the Brass Anchors are tested for its material quality, its dimensional stability and pull out before these are shipped out. All the brass anchors thoroughly inspected so that the customers of Indofix Group get 100 percent usable pieces. Indofix Brass Anchors have the highest possible pull out in the current producers in the world and different designs and qualities are offered to customers for all level of utilities guaranteeing desired performance.
The uses of Brass Anchors are in the Ceiling Industry where the false ceiling are hanged on these which take care of various kind of ceiling and structures. When M6 or equivalent anchors are used for the ceiling, the Indofix Brass Anchors are tested at 60Kgs of load which is almost 4-6 times taking the safety factor and excellent product for ceilings. A small hole of just 8 mm which is just about 30mm deep is done in solid concrete and a screw or thread rod is screwed at about 3Nm of torque which provide maximum load capacity. When these anchors are used on an average matrix of 1 meter or 0.8 meter they provide the cheapest and the most stable structure for hanging any type of false ceilings. The Internal expansion provide a stable anchoring which helps even to some level of vibrations.
Indofix always recommends customers to use high quality of anchors since by saving a little money on the quality of anchors, a high risk is taken. If we take an average cost of about $50 per square meter for a false ceiling , the average cost for the Brass Anchors is just about $0.12 - $0.20. If a contractor or a customer even saves a few cents by using a cheaper quality of the anchor, they are compromising their investment of minimum $50 or more and even taking risk of physical injuries or accidents. So, it is wise to use a Indofix brand of anchors which will help protect your investments and reputation of your projects.
