Abstract: In a method and a device for installing, in a rock wall or roof, a self-drilling expandable rock bolt (2) having a drill bit portion (5), an expansion portion (9) and a connecting portion (10), in a rock breaking step, the self-drilling rock bolt (2) is provided with a rock breaking movement and flushing fluid for producing a bore hole, and in an expansion step, pressurized expansion fluid is introduced into the expansion portion (9) in order to expand it so as to be fixed to the inside of the bore hole. Expansion fluid is introduced by means of a swiveling device (6) so that the rock bolt (2) is free to move during the rock breaking step, and be tightened against the rock bolt (2) in the expansion step in such a way that a sealed channel for expansion fluid is established between an expansion fluid source and the expansion portion (9). The invention also concerns a self-drilling rock bolt.

Abstract: The present invention is related to a method for manual installation of rock bolts expandable by means of a pressure media comprising manual coupling of a pressure source to a rock bolt to be expanded. The method comprises the steps of an operator starting a sequence whereby the rock bolt is pressurized to a predetermined pressure, and it being ensured that the predetermined pressure is kept for a predetermined period of time. The present invention is also related to such a control system, and an apparatus comprising such a control system.

Abstract: Method and device for rock bolting, wherein a tubular bolt (2) with closed cross-section is inserted and expanded for anchoring inside a bore hole (12), wherein the tubular bolt is expanded to contact in the inner portion of the bore hole, a tension element (3, 7, 8, 9) which is arranged in the outer portion of the bore hole with an inner part (7) attached to the tubular bolt (2) is pre-stressed and a settable medium is injected into the outer portion of the bore hole (14) between (27) the tension element and the wall of the bore hole and is allowed to set.

Abstract: The present invention is related to a rock bolt (7), expandable by means of a pressure media, for insertion into a borehole. The expandable bolt (7) comprises a connection unit (8) with means (11) for detachable interaction with an expansion means (10) for expansion of the rock bolt (7), as well as with a suspension element (16). The connection unit is designed with such external dimensions so that it may be inserted into the bore-hole. The invention also relates to such a rock bolting system.
