Ball Washer
OPTI-Load SYSTEM is intended to optimize the performance of the rock bolt in its critical area, i.e. the interface between inflation bushing and face plate. The system is formed by a patent protected Ball Washer and an Omega Domed Face Plate of appropriate geometry and steel grade. Both the ball washer and face plate are mounted on a regular OMEGA-BOLT® 120 just before installation.
Main benefits
- Enhances structural integrity by delivering higher loading capacity while absorbing larger deformations
- Improves safety, with face plate flattening signalling when the bolt is under a heavy load
- Ensures reliable operation by compensating for misalignment between the bolt and face plate at angles up to 10 degrees without degradation in load capacity
