DB-Anchors
for permanent fixing
 Successful construction ...
with PFEIFER systems

The PFEIFER Group is one of Europe’s leading manufacturers of

cable, lifting and connecting technology, and cable construction.
The Group consists of numerous domestic & foreign companies,
with headquarters in Memmingen – Germany.
PFEIFER building technology is a market leader in lifting anchor
technology for lifting and transporting precast concrete elements,
and has been a valued and trusted partner in the industry for over
40 years.
In the early years the name PFEIFER was synonymous with
threaded anchors in the precast industry. Today PFEIFER has
gained a reputation for application-orientated fixing technology
and an extensive, reliable range of products for the support and
connection of precast concrete elements, as well as reinforce-
ment technology.
Production at the headquarters in Memmingen and comprehensi-
ve technical know-how gained through many years of experience,
form the basis of trusted and reliable supply and support for our
customers throughout Europe.
“We put technology into practise”
The European Technical Approval issued for the DB anchor
allows the product manufacturer to apply the CE mark to
the building product and thus enables unhindered
access to the entire European market or
its contracting states.

Use
The PFEIFER foot-mounted anchor DB 682 and waved anchor DB 682 with European Technical Approval ETA-11/0288 for fixings in cracked or uncracked nor-
mal concrete from a quality of C20/25 with a predominantly static loading and has an approval for this for the performance categories C1 and C2. The anchor
is supplied complete with data clip.

Dimensioning and anchor selection

The dimensioning of PFEIFER DB anchors is carried out in accordance with  Exact designation of the anchors to be used

these must contain the following minimum data:

Installation
PFEIFER DB anchors with data clip and, if necessary, the retention reinforcement 1 2
must be installed in accordance with the responsible planner’s specifications.
The anchors must be fastened to the formwork in such a way that they do not
move when the reinforcement is installed or during the pouring and compaction
of the concrete. According to the planning specifications, the anchors can be
installed flush with the surface or recessed.
For simple and safe attachment to the formwork, we recommend the matching
