Rock bolt plates are essential fastening accessories used in underground mining and construction, designed to provide support for anchor bolts against rock or elements like mesh. These plates primarily function to distribute and control deformation generated by the tension on the bolts, acting as a critical support element to prevent collapse or instability in excavations.

When an anchor bolt is subjected to tension, the rock bolt plate helps generate a confinement action by evenly distributing the load, preventing stress concentrations that could lead to anchor system failure. This mechanism ensures that the anchor bolt system continues to perform efficiently and stably over time, even in demanding underground conditions.

In addition to their support function, rock bolt plates are often coated with a galvanized layer, which provides increased corrosion resistance. The galvanization process coats the steel with zinc, offering durable protection against environmental factors like moisture and chemicals that can accelerate steel deterioration. This makes rock bolt plates ideal for use in underground mining and construction environments, where exposure to corrosive elements is common.

Onix Underground offers a wide variety of rock bolt plates designed to meet the specific needs of each mining and construction project. Available in various sizes and configurations, these plates are compatible with different bolt sizes and installation requirements, providing a reliable and long-lasting support solution.
