What is a friction bolt?

Friction Bolts - Minova

Friction bolts have been used internationally in mining for decades and are considered the simplest form of ground support available in metal mining. Compression of the high tensile steel "C" shape into a hole diameter smaller than the tube generates a load transfer from the steel to the rock. A steel ring is fixed to the collar end of the tube that will retain a plate on the installed tube to establish compressive force against rock.

Available in either black or hot dip galvanised. Variety of diameters (34 mm, 40 mm and 47 mm) and various lengths from 600 mm to 3,000 mm

Used in the development and production headings for immediate support with quick and easy installation.
