Reinforcement connections

The HALFEN HSC Stud Connector has been specially developed as an economical, tension reinforcement solution for corbels and frame nodes. The special shape of the anchor head with its innovative anchorage capability allows full exploitation of the reinforcement with extremely short anchorage lengths.
The MBT Reinforcement coupler is a mechanical sleeve connection for reinforcement steel. A tension- and compression-resistant connection of the reinforcement bars is achieved by clamping; no pre-treatment of the bars is required; no thread cutting, no crimping, no swaging, no welding.

HSC Stud Connector
- 100% anchorage with forged anchor heads
- Extremely short anchorage lengths thanks to forged anchor heads
- Reduction of costly reinforcement stirrups by using straight rebar anchors
- Effective anchoring reduces the amount of steel required
- Quick installation and increased reliability with simple reinforcement layout
- Reliable planning with building authority approval in accordance with EC 2
- Easy planning with free calculation software
- Can be used in combination with HBS-05 Screw connectors – simplifies the formwork required for walls and columns. Corbels can be screw-connected after removing the formwork
- No special tools required for the screw connections, high application reliability and faster build time – a visual check is enough to verify correct installation
- Anchor heads can be oriented horizontally and vertically for optimum use of space
- Versatile with an extensive product range
MBT Reinforcement coupler
- No preparation of the rebar ends required
- Bolts with a predetermined torque shear off head provide reliable confirmation of correct installation
- Efficient and economical installation using standard tools and with low predetermined shear-off bolts
- The wide range of standard sockets, reducing and end anchors allow for reliable planning and versatile application
- Especially suitable for renovation and extension projects
