Manufacturers worldwide are discovering how the TORX PLUS® Drive increases torque transfer, extends tool life, and increases productivity on their assembly lines. Now, these benefits are available in a unique tamper-resistant version. When combined with a countersunk or button head design, the tamper-resistant TORX PLUS® fastener is extremely difficult to remove without the proper tool.

Proper Tools

PROVIDES RESTRICTED ACCESS TO ANY APPLICATION

The tamper-resistant TORX PLUS® Drive offers restricted access in the field along with all the assembly benefits of the TORX PLUS® Drive.

Standard Design Guidelines

Fastener Sizes: 
M2.5 to M18 (#3 to 3/4")

Head Design:  
A countersunk or button-head design is recommended.

IMPROVES ASSEMBLY AND PROTECTS SYSTEMS

Improve AssemblyA manufacturer of power systems for electric vehicles needed a tamper-resistant fastener on the component's exterior to keep consumers away from its dangerous electrical currents. In addition, using hex and Phillips systems inside the component created debris from earnout that could short-circuit the system. These drive systems also could not provide enough torque to seat the fasteners properly. The loose fasteners created arcing, which would destroy the power supply. Switching to the tamper-resistant TORX PLUS® Drive System eliminated earnout and its resulting particulate matter and increased the torque that could be applied. It also prevents consumers from opening the component and possibly injuring themselves.
