Torx Bolts

Also known as star, 6 lobe, and hexalobular internal. Torx screws are commonly found on cars, motorcycles, bicycle brake systems, hard disk drives, computer systems and consumer electronics and are becoming increasingly popular. Once, they were typically used in applications requiring tamper resistance; as drivers became more common, tamper-resistant variants were developed. The Torx design allows for a higher torque to be exerted than a similarly sized conventional hex socket head. This button head variant is an attractive screw, typically used where aesthetics are important, or where a lower profile domed finish is required.

A Torx Key (6 Lobe) driven example of the more familiar Socket Head Cap Screw, these are a more modern alternative standard machine fastener to the standard hexagon headed bolt or setscrew, as found on much modern machinery. A Torx key (6 lobe) is required to fit these fasteners and gives a much more secure drive allowing for more torque and a surer tightening feel. Conforming to ISO 4762 or DIN 912, the contact surfaces of this screw or bolt are protected from external damage. Generally manufactured with a partial thread beyond a certain length and nominal diameter combination, but occasionally some stock may include a fully threaded shank at the same combination. Ideal for uses where there is little room or clearance for securing.

Similar to the DIN 912 torx cap screw but with a lower head height and smaller Torx Key (6 lobe drive), the ISO 14580 (DIN 7984) is used where space is limited. This range is generally manufactured with a partial thread beyond a certain length and nominal diameter combination, but occasionally some stock may include a fully threaded shank at the same combination.

Similar to the DIN 912 torx cap screw but with a lower head height and smaller Torx Key (6 lobe drive), the ISO 14580 is used where space is limited. Please note that 8.8 high tensile variants of this product are produced with a full thread only.

A tamper resistant screw requiring specialist Torx drive tooling to fit. This button head variant is an attractive screw, typically used where aesthetics are important, or where a lower profile domed finish is required. Uses include street furniture and garden equipment. Also known as a Star or 6 Lobe Drive. Please call us if the multi-tool security drive bits are required.

A tamper resistant torx driven screw requiring specialist drive tooling to fit and remove. The countersunk head is typically used in conjunction with a countersunk hole providing a flush, snag free fit. Great for anti-vandalism solutions or where a degree of security is required. Also known as Star Drive or Six Lobe Drive. Please call us if the multi-tool security drive bits are required.

Also known as star, 6 lobe, and hexalobular internal. Torx screws are commonly found on cars, motorcycles, bicycle brake systems, hard disk drives, computer systems and consumer electronics and are becoming increasingly popular. Once, they were typically used in applications requiring tamper resistance; as drivers became more common, specific tamper-resistant variants were developed. The Torx design allows for a higher torque to be exerted than a similarly sized conventional hex socket head. Conforms with DIN 7985.

A 6 lobe or torx driven variant of the popular flanged socket button screw. Again, torx button flange screws can be employed where aesthetics are important, or where space is limited.
