The angle between the plane of contact between tool and fastener and the circumferentially directed force is much closer to 90° in a Torx type of head (lower) than in a conventional hex head (upper). (Exaggerated for illustrational purposes) By design, Torx head screws resist cam out better than Phillips head or slot head screws. [1]
Torx is very popular in the automotive and electronics industries because of resistance to cam-out and extended bit life, as well as reduced operator fatigue by minimizing the need to bear down on the drive tool to prevent cam-out. A tamper-resistant Security Torx head has a small pin inside the recess. Owing to its six-fold symmetry, a Torx ...
Cam out (also cam-out or camming out) is a process by which a screwdriver slips out of the head of a screw being driven once the torque required to turn the screw exceeds a certain amount. [1] Repeatedly camming out damages the screw, and possibly also the screwdriver, and should normally be avoided.
Cushion clutch or “slip clutch” styles are found in both electric screwdrivers and air screwdrivers. This clutch style is similar to the “cam-over” once the final torque is reached because the clutch continues to cam over and slip. It will continue to run until the operator releases the throttle.
[3]: 85–86 They also allow the use of angled screwdrivers and trim-head screws. The socket-headed Robertson screws are self-centering and reduce cam out. They also stop a power tool when set, and can be more easily removed if painted over, or old and rusty. [3]: 85–86 In industry, they speed up production and reduce product damage.
A set of "secure" or otherwise less common screwdriver bits, including secure Torx and secure hex or "Allen" variants. Many modern electrical appliances, if they contain screws, use screws with heads other than the typical slotted or Phillips styles. Torx is one such pattern that has become widespread. It is a spline tip with a corresponding ...
