|
|
|
- Larger cross section at the lobes
- Fully compatible with existing TORX Drive tools
- 50% reduction in drive tool tolerance
- 25% average improvement in driver bit torsional strength
- Engineered elliptical geometric configuration
- Can be used with fastener diameters from M0.6 to M24 (#000 to 1")
- True 0 degree drive angle to eliminate radial forces
|
- 100% average improvements in driver bit life
- Reduces assembly line downtime; improves reliability
- Improved fit between tool and fastener recess
- Higher torque transfer capability
- Reduces camout and end load
- Reduces worker fatigue
|
TORX PLUS® Autosert Feature
Allows for higher rpm engagement in automated, robotic and other assembly situations where driver bit may be continuously rotating.
|
|
|
|
- Enlarged window of engagement
- Laboratory testing shows 100% engagement at 700 rpm
- For fastener sizes M3 to M16 (#3 to 5/8")
- Compound angle guide ramps at each lobe
|
- Self-centering and engaging action during fastener-recess engagement
- Quicker engagement of the recess to reduce assembly time
- Ideal for automated or robotic assembly conditions
|
Tamper-Resistant TORX PLUS® Drive System
Unique 5-lobe elliptical geometry (versus standard 6-lobe) and a post in the middle of the recess for maximum security
|
|
|
|
|
- Non-symmetrical, elliptically-based geometric configuration
- Five lobes with solid post in center of recess
- Drivers only available to OEMs and authorized service personnel
|
- Allows optimum torque transfer and increased driveability
- Reduces fatigue and muscular stress during manual assembly
- Non-symmetrical shape provides more resistance to tampering
- Limited access to drivers maintains integrity of system
|
TORX® Drive System
This innovative fastener drive system was developed by Camcar to overcome the limitations of hex, Phillips, square, and other drive systems.
|
|
|
|
- Can be used with fastener diameters from M0.9 to M24 (#00 to 1")
- Lead-in chamfer
- 15 degree drive angle
- Straight, vertical side walls
- Broad contact surface
|
- Reduces camout
- Reduces need for excessive end load force
- Extends tool life
- Reduces worker fatigue
- Reduces rework and scrap
- Reduces radial forces which damage tools and fastener
