TORX PLUS® Drive System outperforms and outlasts every other drive system available today The TORX PLUS® Drive System has proven t o keep assembly lines running smoother and more efficiently by offering increased drive system strength. Features - 100% average improvement in drive bit fatigue life - Elliptically-based geometric configuration provides larger cross-sectional area - True 0o drive angle improves drivability - Straight side walls eliminate camout and end load Standard Design Guidelines M2 thru M25 Fastener Head Design: Sizes: 1IP to 100IP Drive Variations: Sizes: Bits fit both inch and metric sizes Benefits - Significantly reduces bit usage and assembly line downtime from bit changes - Allows optimum torque transfer and increased reliability - Reduces fatigue and muscular stress during manual assembly - Lowers scrap, rework and inplace costs Can be used with all head designs Also available in double-ended studs External, TORX PLUS/hex, TORX PLUS/slotted, Tamper-Resistant ost fastener drive systems have problems which are inherent in their design. For the hex drive system, it’s a 60o angle which puts high stress on both the fastener and tool. Phillips-type recesses are prone to camout and require excessive end load to keep the drive bit engaged in the recess. The design of the TORX PLUS Drive eliminates these problems on the assembly line. In addition, TORX PLUS Drive is designed to ensure optimum torque transfer. Larger Cross-Section At Lobes Elliptically-based Geometry Broad Contact Service TORX PLUS® Drive System he TORX PLUS Drive System is also available with the AUTOSERT® feature for high rpm engagement. Compound angle guide ramps, used at each lobe, create a self-engaging action to allow the driver bit to be rotating at high rpm when it engages the recess. Under lab testing, 100% of recesses using the AUTOSERT feature were engaged with the TORX PLUS Drive bit spinning at 700 rpm. AUTOSERT® Feature Compound angle ramps guide driver bit into n the assembly line, the TORX PLUS Drive System has greatly surpassed our customer’s expectations. All have been significant improvements in drive bit life and productivity. One customer went from using 12 – 24 Phillips bits per day to using only 4 TORX PLUS bits in a 4 month period, saving them $15,000 in drive bits alone. The most significant savings came in not shutting down 6125 Eighteen Mile Road the assembly line 3 – 6 times each day to change drive bits. Sterling Heights, Michigan 48314 Companies across the globe have seen drive bit usage drop by over Acument.com 50%, reduced scrap and rework, reduced worker fatigue complaints acumentnorthamerica.com and improved quality.
