Split Set Bolt, also called Split Set Stabilizer or Friction Bolt, is an indis-pensable advanced material for underground mining support. Split set boltis a very specific support product, and it is an advanced material used forthe support of the roof of the underground copper or gold mining and otherprojects.

     Friction bolts have been used internationally in mining for decades and areconsidered the simplest form of ground support available in metal miningCompression of the high tensile steel "C" shape into a hole diameter small-er than the tube generates a load transfer from the steel to the rock. A steelring is fixed to the collar end of the tube that will retain a plate on theinstalled tube to establish compressive force against rock.
