Ring wedge dowels – high-strength shear plate connectors for timber engineering

GH ring wedge dowels are specialized connectors for heavy-duty timber joints. They are pressed into pre-milled recesses and used in combination with bolts or screws. Thanks to the ring-shaped profile and wedge effect, they create a large contact surface that ensures reliable transfer of shear and tensile forces, significantly increasing the load capacity of structural joints.

Benefits of GH ring wedge dowels

• Very high load-bearing capacity in shear and tension
• Optimized force transfer through ring profile and wedge action
• Use in combination with bolts, threaded rods or structural screws
• ETA approved and compliant with Eurocode 5 design
• Made in Germany – consistent precision and durability

Applications

• Timber engineering and hall structures
• Bridge construction, large-span frameworks and refurbishments
• Wood-to-wood and wood-to-steel connections
• Beam splices, purlin joints and frame corners

Installation notes

The installation requires milling precise recesses in the timber, followed by pressing in the ring wedge dowels. In combination with bolts or screws, they form tight, load-bearing joints with very high capacity. All dowels are tested and approved according to Eurocode 5 for structural safety.

GH ring wedge dowels are the ideal choice for demanding timber structures where maximum safety and long-term performance are essential.
