Tie Rods
Tie rods for expansion joints are available in various designs, depending on the required function, nominal width and operating pressure.
Targeted tensioning – targeted protection
tie rods the movement and thus protects the expansion joint from damage caused by overstretching or excessive compression or absorbs the reaction forces from the expansion joint, protecting neighbouring components from additional forces.
