POWERCON®

General information

POWERCON® for secure connections of pre-made componentsThe POWERCON® is a connector pair for the positive connection of concrete, wooden or steel components.

The galvanized load-bearing connectors are used not only to transfer loads, but also to ensu-re that the components are self-centered.

The POWERCON® connector can be adjusted in the X and Y direc-tions by means of an eccentric disc, and in the Z direction by me-ans of a shim plate.

If larger tolerance ranges in the region of centimetres are requi-red, the POWERCON® can also be installed in pre-cast concrete components in conjunction with anchor rails.

Technical data

■ Material: galvanized steel cas-ting

■ Can be adjusted by means of eccentric disc or shim plate

■ Tested by the MPA

Eccentric disc

The eccentric disc, when used with a M16 countersunk screw, can compensate for tolerances up to 4 mm in the X and Y direc-tions.

■ Material: galvanized

Shim plate

5 mm thick rubber shim plate for setting the width of the joint.

■ Material: natural rubber

Screws

Countersunk screw with hexagon socket in accordance with DIN 7991. For fastening the POWER-CON® with the anchor sleeve in the concrete.

■ Dimensions: M16 and M20

■ Length: 40 / 60 mmMultibloc

A reusable element for fastening the anchor sleeves in place, as well as for producing the required com-ponent recess.

■ Material: natural rubber

■ Fastening on the shuttering by means of magnet or hot-melt adhesive

POWERCON®

Rated values

The breaking loads of the POWERCON® connector have been deter-mined in a series of tests by the MPA (Materials Testing Institute) in Stuttgart.

The following rated resistances were derived from this assessment:

Rated resistance 1) [kN]

NRd,max38

HRd,max43

1) The rated resistances have a safety tolerance of 3.0 with regard to the breaking loads determined; the values apply to countersunk screws M20, see page 2; the rated resistan-ces of the anchors are generally the decisive factor, and these must therefore be checked.

The interaction between NRd,max and HRd,max is linear:

If POWERCON is used in concrete construction, the maximum loads of the anchor in the concrete must be observed. Permitted anchor loads can vary significantly depending on the strength of the components and on edge clearances. Suitably authorised anchors must be used for permanent installation in pre-cast concrete components.

Load-bearing capacity

The forces, which can be transferred to the joints, are dependent on: ■ the steel load-bearing capacity of the POWERCON®

■ the applicable permitted limits of the anchor and screw manufac-turers, depending on the concrete quality and the geometric edge conditions. The anchor is generally the decisive factor.

Minimum clearances

The permitted edge clearances and minimum clearances of the anchor manufacturers apply when fastening the POWERCON® connectors. The dimensions of the POWERCON® must be observed. See page 2.

Note

The structural analysis must be performed by the engineer responsible for load-bearing structures.
