Abstract: 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.

Abstract: 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.

Abstract: 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.

Abstract: A fastening element is provided, in particular an expansion anchor, having a bolt and a retainer arranged on the bolt for introducing tensile forces into the bolt, the bolt having a first metal friction surface and the retaining element having a second metal friction surface, which is associated with the first friction surface. A coating in which particles, preferably hard particles, are embedded is arranged on at least one of the two friction surfaces.

Abstract: A surface with selectable adhesion is achieved by a shape memory alloy that is at least partly coated with a polymer forming a surface structure, thus allowing the adhesion force of the surface to be controlled.
