Claim 0:
1. A system for use in a well, comprising:
a load anchor having:
a mandrel with an interior passage;
a plurality of beam springs secured along an exterior of the mandrel by retention mechanisms;
an elastomeric sealing element disposed about the mandrel and trapped between abutments in an axial position; and
a plurality of gripper members disposed about the mandrel, each gripper member being axially bounded by a fixed angle section on one side and an angled section of an adjacent beam spring on the other side, each gripper member being positioned such that upon radial expansion of the mandrel the adjacent beam spring is able to transform axially and to force the gripper member in an axial direction against the fixed angle section, the fixed angle section driving the gripper member radially outward against a surrounding surface, the plurality of gripping members resisting axial shifting of the elastomeric sealing element along the surrounding surface.
