Laser 5031 Torx Plus® Bit Set 23pc

Product Information

AudiTorx is a tamper-proof fastener where a convex and smooth fastener head is topped with a break-away Torx drive that snaps off when the engineered torque is reached, leaving a rivet-like bolt head that cannot be easily removed. The main application for these fasteners is in the railroad industry.

A tamper-proof Torx screw requires a specialized wrench or driver bit with a central hole to accommodate the screw’s center post, deterring unauthorized removal. Sharke, Paul (June 2005).

The Torx Plus Drive system was developed to improve assembly line performance. Alignment difficulties between drive bits and recesses can slow down production lines. The Torx Autosert feature guides the driver bit accurately into the recess creating a self-centering engagement action. However, it is a recent design, and its major difference is that it has softened corners even though it looks exactly like the Torx Plus. These fasteners also don’t wobble, so they’re suitable for applications that require high accuracy, like electronics and automobile industries. Polydrive (RIBE) What is a Polydrive Screw?Many Torx bits have been produced over time, and these bits are designed to improve the effectiveness of the Torx screws. The Notable Tamper-Resistant Torx

The Torx Plus’s improved sidewall also decreases the risk of cam out, where the tool slips from the fastener head while working. Cam out typically happens when the torque needed to turn the fastener is too high and could damage the fastener head, tool, and workpiece. Strength and Durability The tamper-resistant torx is another variant of torx bit found on the market. The structure of the Tamper resistant Torx (Torx TR) has six points with a round hole sitting in the middle of the bit. Another advantage is that the Ttap drive doesn’t wobble since the geometry stabilizes the drive. Torx Ttap vs. Torx screwsThe 15° drive angle of the Torx makes it less effective for high-speed applications and assemblies. If used in high-speed assemblies, the fastener head might strip, delaying assemblies and potentially damaging the assembly and tools used. The improved design enables the Torx plus driver bits to deliver nearly double the amount of drive cycles and bit life. Torx Plus is designed for high torque transmission. This means that higher torques can be used to securely tighten fasteners without incurring additional wear and tear on the tools. High torque capability is also very important in service situations where corrosion may increase the torque required to loosen a fastening. Tamper Resistant Torx Plus Drive 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 star screwdriver bit, also known as the Philips screwdriver bit, existed long before the Torx screwdriver bit was invented. 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.
