China Osro Strap Manufacturer for Deep Mining & Tunnel Surface Support
Factory-direct Osro strap and tendon strap solutions engineered for extreme geological conditions. Providing high-strength reinforcement to ensure worker safety in underground environments.
Simplify your ground reinforcement with our integrated strap technology.
What Is an Osro Strap / Tendon Strap?
The Osro Strap, also known as a Tendon Strap, is a heavy-duty strip-type surface support element manufactured from high-yield rebar mesh. Unlike standard wire mesh, these straps are specifically designed to link multiple rock bolts together, creating a unified reinforcement "skeleton" across the rock face. They are critical for managing stress distribution in high-pressure underground environments where ground movement is a significant risk.
Our straps are fabricated using premium steel to ensure consistent weld strength and structural ductility, meeting stringent international mining safety standards.
Strip-Type Surface Support
Designed for focused reinforcement along drift lines and specific failure zones where mesh coverage alone is insufficient.
Rock Bolt Connection
Features optimized apertures to accommodate various rock bolt types, ensuring a flush fit and secure mechanical bond.
Deep Mine Reliability
Engineered for high-stress deep mining roadway support where dynamic loading and rock bursts are primary concerns.

Download Technical SpecsRock Falls Between Bolts, High Deformation & Rockburst Risk
In deep hard rock mines and high-stress civil tunneling, discrete rock bolts alone are often insufficient. Without continuous surface reinforcement, the fractured rock mass between the bolt heads remains vulnerable to unraveling, dynamic ejection, and structural collapse. Our engineering solutions address these critical failure modes through integrated mesh and strap systems.
Rock Falls Between Bolts
Small to medium-sized blocks can detach from the face between bolt patterns, posing a lethal risk to personnel and damaging equipment.
Insufficient Surface Support Capacity
Standard mesh may fail under the localized weight of broken ground without the structural rigidity provided by heavy-duty Osro straps.
High Deformation in Deep Roadways
Extreme depth creates squeezing ground conditions that require support systems capable of yielding without catastrophic snapping.
Rockburst and Dynamic Loading Risk
Sudden energy releases in high-stress environments necessitate high energy-absorption capacity to contain ejected rock material.
Local Bolt Overload
Inefficient load distribution can lead to individual bolt failure. Straps redistribute the pressure across multiple anchor points.
Irregular Ground Surface
Complex geological profiles make standard rigid support difficult. Flexible straps conform to the rock face for optimal contact.
These Problems Need Continuous, Flexible Surface Support

The Osro Strap system operates on advanced mechanical principles that mitigate rock burst risks and maximize support capacity across unstable geological formations.
Surface Protection
Bridges the gap between individual rock bolts, preventing localized rock falls and securing fragmented face material.
Stress Distribution
Sliding longitudinal bars allow for controlled deformation, distributing kinetic energy across the entire strap length.
Load Transfer
Efficiently transfers dynamic loads to multiple primary rock bolts, reducing the strain on any single support element.
Bolt Gaps Covered
The strap spans the space between bolts, providing immediate surface restraint.
Rock Bolts Clamp
Bolts are tightened over the strap, creating a high-friction mechanical bond.
Stress Distributed
Seismic or geological stress is channeled through the longitudinal rebars.
Load Transfers
Support energy is shared among the bolt array, preventing failure.

Validating structural integrity through rigorous laboratory simulations and real-world underground performance data.
Real Underground Loading
Unlike laboratory tests that apply pure axial tension, underground rock bolts and straps often face eccentric loading. This occurs when rock fragments shift unevenly, applying torque and shear.
Osro Strap is engineered to adapt to these non-linear forces, maintaining its structural capacity even when the load isn't perfectly centered, ensuring continuous protection during seismic events or rock shifts.
170kN
Peak tensile strength achieved in controlled vertical pull tests using Grade 500 steel.
44kN
Verified real-world capacity under complex eccentric loading conditions common in deep mining.
>15%
