Product Description

Product Description & Key Specifications

Stainless scissor anchors use a folding wing, scissor arm or toggle-style mechanism that passes through an opening and expands behind the substrate. The opened wing creates rear-side bearing, making this anchor type useful for hollow panels, hollow block, facade cavities, ceiling service supports and one-side-access installation points.

SS304 / A2 options suit indoor and moderate outdoor service, while SS316 / A4 is preferred for exterior facades, coastal buildings, humid equipment spaces and chloride exposure. Project supply can be made to OEM drawing with controlled wing span, grip range, screw length, washer arrangement and surface finish.

Scissor anchors are normally selected for light to medium duty support rather than heavy structural anchorage. Capacity depends on panel material, panel thickness, rear clearance, edge distance, load direction and wing geometry, so safety-critical applications should be confirmed by test data, project approval or engineering calculation.

Selection

Selection Advantages by Application

Facade Cavities and Panel Fixing

SS316 scissor anchors can fasten accessories, light secondary supports and panel-mounted components where the anchor must bear against the rear face of a facade cavity or panel.

Facade fasteners

Ceiling and Service Supports

For light cable trays, clamps, light fixtures and maintenance supports, the folding mechanism supports installation when access is available from one side only.

Construction fasteners

Marine and Humid Equipment Areas

SS316 / A4 scissor anchors are suitable for wet rooms, coastal facilities and outdoor panels where zinc-plated anchors may not provide enough corrosion resistance.

Marine fasteners

Renewable Energy Cabinets and Enclosures

Scissor anchors can be used for light brackets, cable accessories and enclosure support details in PV or outdoor electrical installations when the substrate is hollow or panel-based.

FAQ

Common Questions Before RFQ

What substrates are suitable for stainless scissor anchors?

They are used in hollow panels, hollow walls, hollow block, facade cavities and one-side-access areas. The substrate material and thickness determine the allowable load.

What information is needed for an RFQ?

Confirm diameter, screw length, substrate thickness, rear clearance, required wing span, material, surface finish, load requirement, environment, quantity and whether sample testing is needed.

Can scissor anchors be used for heavy structural loads?

Only when verified by project design, test data or approval. Scissor anchors are commonly used for light to medium duty anchorage; heavy structural loads usually require an approved concrete or structural anchor system.

Should I choose SS304 or SS316?

SS304 / A2 is suitable for indoor or moderate outdoor use. SS316 / A4 is preferred for exterior facades, humid service, coastal exposure and chloride environments.

Can the wing span and grip range be customized?

Yes. Wing geometry, grip range, screw length, washer arrangement and packaging can be produced to drawing or sample when the project provides the installation details.

Need stainless scissor anchors for hollow substrates?

Send diameter, substrate thickness, rear clearance, screw length, wing span, material, finish, load, environment and quantity. Our team can review a stainless scissor anchor option for your panel, facade or cavity fixing project.
