Post-Tensioning Systems |
· ​Symmetrical 3-Piece Load Distribution: The 3-piece segment design divides the radial clamping force equally around the 12.7 mm strand, eliminating localized crushing and ensuring uniform, secure bite.
· ​Precision-Milled Internal Teeth: Engineered with specialized helical teeth profiles that bite securely into the high-tensile steel wire without shearing, providing certified slip-resistance under ultimate breaking loads.
· ​Advanced Thermal Hardening: Subjected to controlled carburizing and heat treatment processes to achieve a surface hardness of 58–62 HRC, guaranteeing exceptional wear and fatigue resistance.
· ​Full Batch Traceability & QC: Manufactured under strict ISO 9001 quality frameworks. Each production lot undergoes rigorous proof-loading, hardness testing, and dimensional inspection.
​Essential mechanical locking components deployed across diverse civil and structural engineering sectors:
· ​Commercial & Residential Floor Slabs: Post-tensioned flat plates, waffle slabs, and high-rise transfer structures utilizing 0.5" tendons.
· ​Bridge & Transportation Infrastructure: Precast beam anchorages, segmental box girders, and internal/external tendon stressing ends.
· ​Specialized Geotechnical Works: Foundation anchorages, rock slopes, and high-capacity soil nail tensioning systems.
​Q: Are these 3-piece wedges compatible with standard 12.7mm anchor casting heads?
A: Yes. They are precision-machined to fit standard 12.7 mm (0.5") anchor plates, trumpets, and stressing chairs used globally in post-tensioning construction.
​Q: Can these wedges be reused after tensioning?
A: No. Prestressing wedges are designed for single-use (one-time permanent anchoring). Once seated under high tension, the teeth undergo permanent engagement and must not be reused for safety reasons.
​Q: What is the standard export packaging and corrosion protection?
A: Wedges are coated with an anti-rust oil film, packed in matching sets (3 pieces per set), sealed in heavy-duty moisture-proof bags, and boxed inside robust export cartons to prevent transit corrosion.
