The Raumer expansion bolt 10x110mm is made of AISI 316L steel. It is a expansion bolt from Raumer Climbing especially for rock types with lots of air holes and small cavities. It is also ideal where the top layer of rock is somewhat brittle and the bolts need to be set deep. For example, conglomerate or holey limestone. Or anywhere where small scales can be found on the rock surface.
This is because the two expansion links allow the bolt to spread even where “single-link” anchors fail. At 110 mm, the expansion bolt also demonstrates its above-mentioned strengths thanks to its long length. Its high steel quality and very long service life round off its qualities.
In short: really perfect for holey rock types and rock sections with a flaky character!
Features Raumer expansion bolt 10x110mm
- Material: AISI 316L steel
- Diameter 10mm
- Length: 110mm
- Expansion links: 2
- Weight: 75 gram
- Recommended torque: 30 Nm
- Ideal for many types of stone thanks to the special expansion links
- Ideal for scaly rock due to its length
Note: expansion bolt do not hold well in very soft rocks such as sandstone. We therefore recommend working with glue in bolt in this type of stone!
For two expansion bolt securing points next to each other, observe the minimum distance (tear-out cone!). For this expansion bolt it is 27cm! This means 3 x the setting depth.

Use the right drill bits
Especially with very thin bolts such as the Raumer expansion bolt 10x110mm, choosing the right SDS drill bit is crucial. We clearly recommend products with a PGM test mark. Cheap drill bits do not guarantee the cutting corner dimension. This can lead to problems when hammering in the bolts. Or the opposite may happen. The drilling holes “wear out”. The expansion bolt can then start to move or the lugs can become loose. A good choice is, for example, the Fischer Quattric SDS drill bit.
Matching bolt hanger Raumer expansion bolt 10x110mm
We recommend the Vertical Evolution bolt hanger made of AISI 316L steel. This latch is not only high quality, it also has the exact material properties. In other words, AISI 316L steel. As a result, this product prevents galvanic corrosion.
If you are more interested in this topic, read our technical article“Steel quality at expansion bolt and glue in bolt“. Or attend one of the workshops and drilling courses at the bolting.eu Academy.
Matching accessories
For the Raumer expansion bolt 10x110mm, we recommend cleaning the drill hole with a Fischer hole brush and a drilling hole blow out pumb. These are two small but important accessories. On the one hand, they help to protect the bolt against “wandering”. On the other hand, they are also useful for the bolters or developers. This means less air gets into your lungs.
