What are the structural principles and installation steps of Eye Wedge Anchor?

1. Structural principles
Eye Wedge Anchor is mainly composed of the following parts:

Anchor body: usually made of metal (such as stainless steel, carbon steel, etc.), with certain strength and toughness, used to anchor in the substrate (such as concrete).
Wedge: a key component located inside or used in conjunction with the anchor body, whose shape design allows it to be tightly wedged into the substrate when subjected to tension, providing strong anchoring force.
Eye: located at one end of the anchor body, usually a ring structure, used to connect ropes, chains or other lifting equipment to transmit tension.
Expansion clip (in some designs): used in conjunction with the anchor body and wedge, increasing the friction with the substrate through expansion, further improving the anchoring effect.
When the Eye Wedge Anchor is installed and subjected to tension, the wedge will move inside the anchor body and wedge into the substrate, which may be accompanied by the expansion of the expansion clip, together generating a strong anchoring force to ensure the stability and safety of the connection.

2. Installation steps
The installation steps of Eye Wedge Anchor are as follows (specific steps may vary depending on the product):
Preparation: Determine the installation location and depth, and ensure that the strength and quality of the substrate (such as concrete) meet the requirements. Clean the installation hole and remove impurities such as dust and oil.
Drilling: Use a suitable drill bit to drill holes in the substrate. The hole diameter and hole depth must be determined according to the specifications and requirements of the Eye Wedge Anchor.
Clean impurities in the hole: Use tools such as compressed air or a brush to clean the dust and debris in the hole.
Install the anchor bolt: Insert the anchor bolt body of the Eye Wedge Anchor into the hole, ensuring that the eye part is exposed outside the hole. If necessary, use special tools to install the wedge or expansion clip in place.
Apply tension: Use ropes, chains or other lifting equipment to apply tension through the eye so that the wedge is wedged into the substrate and generates anchoring force. Pay attention to controlling the direction and size of the tension to avoid damaging the substrate or causing the anchor bolt to fail.
Inspection and fixing: Check whether the Eye Wedge Anchor is installed firmly and there is no looseness or abnormality. If further fixation is required, nuts, washers and other accessories can be used to tighten the eye part.
