A security Torx L-key and fastener with holes for a safety pin to hinder disassembly with an ordinary Torx key. A Torx T8 screw head on a hard disk drive. Torx screws are commonly found on automobiles, motorcycles, bicycle brake systems (disc brakes), hard disk drives, computer systems and consumer electronics
A socket head cap screw features a cylindrical head and a hexagonal recess. This specialised drive requires a hex wrench or Allen key to tighten or loosen the screw. Hex socket cap screws have threads along their length and can either be fully or partially threaded, depending on the application
Much like all other screws, shoulder screws are meant to hold objects together and in a particular position. However, these screws are designed for use in parts which requires a mounting pin, joint, shaft, dowel, pivot, or sliding motion
Weld Screws are designed to be permanently welded to like materials. Weld Screws are available in low carbon, stainless steel, heat-treated and plated. A variety of threads are available, and most of our weld screws are designed to be welded within confined spaces
Pan head screws are threaded fasteners with a similar non-countersunk, mushroom-shaped head. They are commonly used to fasten wooden workpieces. Pan head is one of the most common types of screws. They are known as “pan head screws” because their head resembles a pan
Hexagon head cap screws, also called hex bolts or hex head cap screws, are threaded fasteners with a six-sided head. They are installed with a wrench or a socket. Compared to other fasteners, hex head cap screws provide a larger surface-bearing area for better clamping
The hexalobular socket screw drive, known as Torx or star drive, uses a star-shaped recess in the fastener with six rounded points. It’s designed to permit increased torque transfer from the driver to the bit compared to other drive systems
Flangescrews, as the name suggests, are bolts with a flange, or a ridge, at one end. This flange acts like a built-in washer, distributing the load across a wider area and providing a more secure and stable connection. They are widely used in various industries due to their unique design and functionality
Torx is the trademark for a type of screw head, developed by Camcar Textron in 1967. It’s characterised by a distinct, 6-point star-shaped pattern and is often called a ‘star screw’ that requires a ‘star screwdriver’ with a ‘star bit’ to tighten and untighten them
