Laser 5031 Torx Plus® Bit Set 23pc

Product Information

The Torx Ttap drive is compatible with the standard Torx drive. However, if you’d like the advantages the Torx Ttap offers, you have to use it with the Ttap drive. The geometries of these drives are exactly the same, except for the additional recess in the screw head’s center. Uses of Torx Ttap Camcar Textron invented a special screwdriver bit in 1967, and He Trademarked it as ‘Torx.’ For many years, he was the sole licensed manufacturer. However, due to the expiration of his patent rights, many other manufacturers have popped up, producing and marketing this product with the popularly trademarked name “Torx.” Application Range The Polydrive, or RIBE, is a fastener similar to the Torx. To the untrained eye, they may even look interchangeable. These fasteners also have a spline-shaped geometry with rounded ends, cut as a recess into the fastener head, that allows secure fastening, increases torque transfer, and minimizes cam-out.

The drive systems used by various fasteners have a huge impact on productivity and product quality. For example, an inefficient drive system will increase assembly time and therefore eat into profitability. The Torx Paralobe: This screwdriver torx bit is designed to improve torque transfer; it is recorded to be 40% better than the classical torx and 20% better than Torx Plus.Torx Bits and Star Bits differ in that Torx is the trademark name, while star exhibits the generic descriptor. Their names can be interchanged as both tools are identical. This bit is used on a unique screw head which is patterned to match the bit perfectly. The screw matching this bit will not be compatible with any other screwdriver torx bit. The Torx Plus (Upgrade to Classical Torx) This snug fit allows for greater torque transfer. The Torx Plus screws can be tightened more securely than their Torx counterparts. More secure installation means the workpiece is held together more securely, leading to greater durability. The Torx ttap: Due to a projecting rod that slides out from The screw’s base, the Torx ttap is recorded to improve the stability of the screwdriver even when rotating drastically.

Construction Range Overview (Fasteners: Introducing the AW Drive System, p. 3)" (PDF). Würth New Zealand. 2016.Torx Paralobe is a further developed Torx Drive System with 6% longer Flanks which results in a 20% higher applicable torque. [15] Torx Plus [ edit ] Torx Plus head pattern Here’s a summary of just some of the issues associated with various typical, commonly used drive systems. Hex Drive Finally, since the Torx screwdriver bit can be used in situations that allow the technician to apply higher torque per cross-sectional area, the sizes of star screw heads to be used in a similar position with a torx screw head will be larger. One great characteristic of the Torx ttap is that its screws are compatible with the classical Torx. Other than the material used to make these unique bits, some factors affect how manufacturers apply screw heads to screw joints in different situations.

Thus, while Torx offers tremendous advantages over traditional fasteners hex, the Torx Plus is a better option for assemblies that need a tighter grip. Advantages of Torx Plus For the Torx type of design, the angle is much closer to 90° than in the case of the hex head, and so for a given torque the potentially damaging radial force is much lower. This property allows the head of the fastener to be smaller for the same required torque, which can be an advantage in applications where space to accommodate the head is limited. Another difference between the Star and Torx screwdriver bit is the application range. The star screwdriver is used where lesser torque per cross-sectional area of the screw head is needed. The angular geometry of the Torx Plus means that the fastening tool fits far more securely in the screw head. A Torx successor, Torx Plus, was introduced around 1990 when the original Torx patent was expiring. The Torx Plus patent subsequently expired in 2011. [16] [17] The lobes are more square to allow for higher torque and to minimize wear. The name is shortened to IP (Internal Plus) with sizes ranging from 1IP to 100IP [18] (sometimes listed as IP1 to IP100 [19]) and EP (External Plus) with sizes ranging from 1EP to 42EP as well as smaller sizes ranging from H7EP to H2EP and includes five-lobed tamper-resistant variants. [18] The specifications for these licenses are held by Textron. Standard Torx drivers can be used to drive Torx Plus screws, but not to full torque because of the loose fit. Torx Plus drivers will not fit into standard Torx screws.

The Torx Plus Maxx: The T orx Plus Maxx is designed to improve the gripping effect of the torx drastically. Therefore, an external torx plus is present on the tip of this unique torx Torx is an innovative fastener system designed to overcome the shortcomings of traditional screw fasteners. Torx screws are commonly found on automobiles, motorcycles, bicycle brake systems ( disc brakes), hard disk drives, computer systems and consumer electronics. Initially, they were sometimes used in applications requiring tamper resistance, since the drive systems and screwdrivers were not widely available; as drivers became more common, tamper-resistant variants, as described below, were developed. [4] Torx screws are also becoming increasingly popular in construction industries. Torx Plus offers a range of advantages over the Torx tool, which is already far better than other fasteners on the market.
