Dutch term or phrase: inslaganker
Omschrijving van de term die ik zoek :
Een inslaganker is een anker dat met een hamer in het geboorde gat te worden geslagen en daarna te worden vastgezet.
Moet ik denken aan een knock-in anchor of een hammer set anchor of heeft iemand een andere oplossing?
Bedankt!

OR even better 'hammer anchor' as per the following
The most common consists of a hardened steel ring-shank nail with either a nylon or zinc sleeve over the shank. Like one-step expansion anchors, hammer anchors require no hole-spotting.
To install a sleeve-type hammer anchor, simply drill a hole through the material you're anchoring, large enough to accept the sleeve but small enough that the sleeve flange won't slip through. A newer type of hammer anchor looks like a heavy nail with a short bend near the end of the shank.
To install either type of hammer anchor, set the material in position and then drill the masonry behind it. Be sure to use the size drill bit specified by the manufacturer. The hole can be any depth as long as it is deeper than the length of the anchor.
Insert the anchor through the material and into the hole, and drive it down tight with a hammer. Hammer anchors obviously don't have the strength of larger expansion anchors, but while they aren't meant to be removed, you can pry them out if necessary.
Concrete Screws- Concrete screws came onto the market in the mid-1970s and have become a staple of lightweight applications. They look like any other screw, except that they are made of hardened steel that will cut its own thread in the masonry (see image).
To install them, set the material in position and then drill the masonry behind it. Be sure to use the size drill bit specified by the manufacturer-concrete screws require a precise pilot hole with a slightly smaller diameter than the screw. The hole can be any depth as long as it is deeper than the length of the anchor.

hammer-drive anchor


Explanation:
This sounds most likely, but still difficult to know which particular anchor they are referring to without seeing more of the text. To check, see products in first web ref. and the list in second web ref.
