R38 SDA (Self Drilling Anchor Bolt) Self Drilling Anchor (SDA)
HEAVY-DUTY R38 HOLLOW ANCHOR BOLT

R38 SDA (Self Drilling Anchor Bolt)

The R38 SDA (Self Drilling Anchor Bolt) is a high-capacity continuous-thread hollow steel rock anchor engineered for demanding tunneling portals, heavy slope stabilization, railway cuts, and deep foundation tiebacks. The R38 bar delivers an ultimate tensile load of 500 kN and a yield load of 400 kN, offering 40% higher tensile strength than standard R32 anchors.

500 kN Ultimate Load
Provides 40% higher load capacity than standard R32 anchors
22mm Flush Core
Large internal bore ensures unobstructed high-pressure cement grouting
Single-Pass Installation
Eliminates casing requirements in collapsing sands, gravels, and fractured rock
Full-Length Rope Thread
Allows cutting, coupling, or trimming at any position on site
