Expansion anchor for concrete and solid masonry with a projecting bolt for mounting brackets, rails and equipment. M10 x 60mm, pack of 25.
The TIMCO Shield Anchor Projecting Bolt is an expansion fixing used for securing brackets, rails and equipment to concrete and solid masonry. The projecting bolt design means the threaded stud remains accessible after installation, allowing items to be mounted and removed using a nut and washer.
Shield anchors, often called rawlbolts, are a long-established type of expansion fixing. The projecting bolt version is useful where equipment needs to be bolted on and possibly removed later, as the threaded stud stays in place after installation.
The anchor is a threaded bolt passing through an expanding metal shield. The assembly goes into a pre-drilled hole in concrete or solid masonry, and as the nut is tightened the bolt is drawn outwards, which makes the shield segments expand against the sides of the hole and hold the anchor in place.
The projecting bolt leaves the threaded stud standing out from the surface after the anchor is set. Brackets and base plates can be positioned over it and secured with a nut and washer. If the item needs to come off for maintenance, the nut is undone and the anchor stays in place.
Check the drill size, hole depth and tightening details on the pack or the TIMCO data sheet. For anything safety-critical, have the fixing design checked by a competent person.
An M10 x 60mm projecting bolt shield anchor for concrete and solid masonry, in a pack of 25.
The TIMCO Shield anchor is an expansion anchor with a projecting bolt, in M10 with a 60mm shield. The bolt sticks out of the anchor, so the fixture slips over it, and then a nut is tightened. It is for concrete, brick and stone, and it is sold in a pack of 25.
For the drill size, the hole depth and the tightening details, use the pack or the TIMCO data sheet.
| Option | What it is | What to weigh up |
|---|---|---|
| This anchor | Projecting bolt, M10, 60mm shield | The fixture goes over the bolt |
| Loose bolt shield anchor | The bolt goes through the fixture and into the anchor | The fixture is placed first |

A concrete screw option is the Thunderbolt masonry concrete anchor. For frames, see the TIMCO nylon frame fixings. Our guide to choosing fixings and adhesives gives more detail.
What does M10:60P mean? M10 is the thread, 60mm is the shield, and P is for projecting bolt. The pack shows the full length.
What is the difference between projecting and loose bolt types? A projecting bolt is part of the anchor, and the fixture goes over it. A loose bolt type works the other way round: the fixture is placed first and the bolt passes through it.
How do I fit one? Drill to the size and depth on the pack, clean the hole, insert the anchor, place the fixture and tighten. Follow the data sheet for the details.
Can I use it in hollow block or brick that crumbles? No. These anchors need solid material. Check the pack.
How should I clean the hole? Blow out the dust and brush the hole. Follow the data sheet.
Anchors carrying heavy or overhead loads need a competent person to specify them. Follow the maker’s data sheet.
