Wood construction is experiencing a sustained upturn in the industry, particularly due to the increasing use of cross-laminated timber (CLT). This popular building material combines environmental responsibility with high load-bearing capacity, dimensional accuracy and architectural flexibility. Thanks to its excellent static and structural properties, CLT is particularly popular in multi-storey residential and commercial construction and is therefore considered an innovative technology for sustainable building in the future.
For planners, engineers and contractors, the growing use of cross-laminated timber means new and ever-increasing demands on connection technology, fastening solutions and assembly processes. At Eurotec, we support this development with a broad product range that is specially tailored to the needs of modern timber construction. Through practical product innovations, sound technical advice and the continuous development of our systems, we create safe and efficient solutions for timber construction.
Shear and tension connectors play a central role in timber construction, ensuring the safe transfer of forces between individual components. Even under high loads or in complex structures, they ensure that tensile, compressive and shear forces are reliably dissipated and that the connections remain permanently stable. They thus form the basis for load-bearing, durable and easy-to-assemble timber structures.
Our tension rods offer flexible solutions for different load requirements in timber construction. In combination with the appropriate pressure plate, they ensure optimum force transmission.
The tension rods 340, 440 and 540 are each combined with the pressure plate 340/440/540. They are used for anchoring the base points of timber elements in timber, steel or concrete substrates.
The 620 tension rod, on the other hand, must only be used in combination with the pressure plate for tension rods 620, as both components are specifically designed to work together and only achieve their full load-bearing capacity in this way.
Made from galvanised S355 structural steel with a material thickness of 3 mm, the HighLoad tension rod impresses with its high robustness and precision. The system shows its strengths particularly for high loads in CLT construction, but is also suitable for connections in concrete and steel. In combination with the HighLoad pressure plate, the tie rod develops its full performance and creates a tested, secure force transmission.
The compact version, the Simply tie bar, is suitable for simple and not particularly time-consuming connections.
Die Zuglaschen HH60/HH70 und HB60/HB70 sind für den modernen Holzbau entwickelt und dienen der Aufnahme von Zug- und Scherkräften. Während die HH-Varianten im Holzrahmen- und Massivholzbau eingesetzt werden, sind die HB-Zuglaschen speziell für Anschlüsse an Beton oder Stahl vorgesehen. Verschraubungen im 45°- und 90°-Winkel erzielen eine kraftschlüssige Verbindung. Beide Systeme überzeugen durch hohe Tragfähigkeit bei minimalem Montageaufwand.
Für besonders hohe Lasten bei Holz-Holz-Verbindungen wurden die Zuglaschen HighLoad konzipiert. Eingesetzt werden diese vor allem im mehrgeschossigen CLT-Bau, wo Bodenplatten mit einer Stärke von bis zu 240 mm verwendet und Zugbelastungen von bis zu 200 kN erreicht werden.
Flat connectors in the form of shearing plates can be used to absorb shear forces in timber frame and solid timber construction. Their high rigidity enables a precise, dimensionally stable connection between timber-timber or timber-concrete components. The hole pattern allows the plates to be attached precisely and securely to the corresponding component to ensure high shear load-bearing capacity.
The shearing agnle has proven itself as a reliable connecting element for absorbing shear forces in timber frame and solid wood construction. When anchored in concrete, the shear bracket must be combined with the pressure plate so that the forces occurring are optimally transferred to the wood and the fatigue strength of the connection is increased. The special arrangement of the holes enables a force-fit connection using screws and nails.
The HH flat shearing angle for wood-to-wood connections and the HB flat shearing angle for wood-to-concrete connections are also flexible brackets for various loads in timber construction. Here too, the HB flat shearing angle may only be used in conjunction with the corresponding pressure plate.
Der Systemwinkel CLT sowie die Systeminnenecke CLT sind speziell für den modularen CLT-Bau entwickelt und erleichtern die sichere Eck- sowie Knotenpunktmontage und Winkelverbindungen mit Brettsperrholz. Durch die robuste Konstruktion und die präzise Lochung werden Kräfte zuverlässig übertragen, während die einfache Handhabung eine schnelle und montagefreundliche Lösung bietet.
Mit den Winkelverbindern inklusive Verstärkungsrippe sind Anschlüsse wie Holz an Mauerwerk, Holz an Beton oder Holz an Holz möglich. Die Verstärkungsrippe bietet eine hohe Stabilität und Kraftübertragung.
