6 Lobe TX Pan Thread Rolling Screws (DIN 7985)

6 Lobe TX Pan Thread Rolling screws are also known as Torx Head Cap Screws or Allen Bolts, hosting a cylindrical head with a six-lobe socket drive. This drive has more resistance to cam-out and can be used with power drivers enabling faster use and higher torque to be achieved.
These screws are made to DIN 7985 standard (ISO 14583) and host a six-lobe recess. They are driven using a 6-Lobe wrench or insert bit, making them more efficient than standard slotted screws and hex drive screws.
Thread Rolling screws are typically designed for use with metals, but can be suitable for use with other malleable materials. They can be driven into a pre-drilled hole without the need for thread tapping, however an extruded hole may provide extra length and allow for improved retention.
It hosts a three lobe thread design which when inserted into the fastening material, creates it s own threads, pushing any excess material into the relief areas of the screw. This increases resistance to vibration and reduces the chance of the screw becoming loose.
These screws help to avoid loose chips that are caused by other thread cutting processes.
The pan head provides an aesthetically pleasing, rounded style that complements the fastening material.
6 Lobe TX Pan Thread Rolling screws are manufactured in A2 Stainless Steel, Steel Zinc Plated and Steel Black Plated as standard.
Available from Fastenright in thread diameters from M2 to M8 and lengths ranging from 3mm to 50mm.
