An expansion anchor includes an anchor bolt and an expansion sleeve which encompasses the anchor bolt. The anchor bolt has an expansion-sleeve expansion region and an expansion-element expansion region. The expansion sleeve has an expansion element which is disposed on the expansion sleeve. The expansion sleeve is radially displaceable by the expansion-sleeve expansion region and the expansion element is radially displaceable by the expansion-element expansion region. The expansion element is disposed on the expansion sleeve on a side of the expansion sleeve that radially faces the anchor bolt.

Expansion anchor with additional expansion element

An expansion anchor includes an anchor bolt with a rear face, a displaceable body located adjacent to the anchor bolt, and at least one wedge body located in a front region of the anchor bolt. The wedge body has a converging zone for displacing the displaceable body. An optically readable code is located at the rear face of the anchor bolt. At least one code protection protrusion projects from the anchor bolt rearwardly beyond the optically readable code.

Expansion anchor with protected optical code

An expansion anchor includes an anchor bolt and an expansion sleeve which surrounds the anchor bolt. The expansion sleeve has an expansion tongue and an anchor tongue and the anchor bolt has a backward-pointing expansion slope for radially displacing the expansion tongue and a backward-pointing anchor slope for radially displacing the anchor tongue. The backward-pointing anchor slope extends more steeply than the backward-pointing expansion slope at least in some regions.
