Klimas driven nail anchor SM-6X60 for quick installation is a mechanical fastening element with a 3.9×65 steel shank designed to secure fixtures to masonry and concrete substrates. The anchor consists of a tubular sleeve and a hardened driving nail; when struck, the nail forces the sleeve to expand against the hole walls, creating a friction and bearing connection that transfers shear and light tensile loads. This solution is intended for fast, repetitive anchoring tasks where a simple hammer-driven installation is preferred over chemical or threaded anchors.
Advantages
The driven nail anchor provides rapid installation without special tools, requiring only a drilled hole of the correct diameter and a hammer to set the nail. Its metal shank and sleeve construction give consistent mechanical expansion, reliable holding in solid masonry and concrete, and resistance to short-term dynamic loads. The compact design and small drill size make it suitable for tight spaces and for installations where speed and repeatability are important.
Suitable for
- Mounting light structural elements such as conduit clips, cable trays and small brackets
- Securing profiles, channel supports and mounting plates to concrete or solid brick
- Temporary or permanent fixtures in renovation and construction where quick installation is needed
When it may not be suitable
This type of driven anchor is not intended for heavy structural loads or where high tensile capacity is required. It is designed for use in solid concrete and masonry; performance in hollow blocks, aerated concrete, or weak substrates can be unreliable without appropriate inserts or alternative anchors. Corrosive environments or applications requiring long-term corrosion protection may call for stainless or specially coated fasteners instead.
Key specifications
- Sleeve-type driven anchor with impact-expansion mechanism
- Steel driving nail with hardened point
- Sleeve material: metal (zinc-plated or similar protective finish as supplied)
- Shaft dimensions: nominal shank diameter 3.9 mm, total length suitable for 60 mm embedment range
- Recommended substrate: solid concrete and solid masonry
- Installation method: hammer-driven after pre-drilling
How to use
Drill a hole to the recommended diameter and depth for the anchor, clean the hole of dust and debris, insert the sleeve with the nail aligned, and set the anchor by striking the nail head with a hammer until the sleeve expands against the hole walls. For best results, ensure the anchor is driven flush with the fixture base or to the required protrusion, and avoid angling during insertion. Verify holding by applying test loads appropriate to the application.
What to consider before purchase
- Confirm substrate type: suitable for solid concrete and solid masonry
- Check required drill bit diameter and embedment depth for the intended load
- Assess whether a higher corrosion resistance is needed for outdoor or humid environments
Usage recommendations
Use the anchor for repetitive, light-duty fixings where speed and simple installation are priorities. For critical or load-bearing connections, consult structural guidelines and choose anchors with verified load ratings and appropriate corrosion protection.
