Abstract
An anchor can include an inner mandrel, a slip configured to grip a well surface, and a link arm with pivots at respective opposite ends and the link arm being configured to rotate relative to the slip about a pivot, and the other pivot being configured to displace radially outward relative to the inner mandrel when the anchor is set in the well. A method can include deploying an anchor into a wellbore, and setting the anchor in the wellbore, the setting including displacing a slip radially outward into gripping engagement with a well surface, the displacing including rotating a link arm until a surface of a wedge engages a surface of the link arm and another surface of the link arm engages a surface of the slip.
