HEXATRAC PLUS™

The HEXATRAC PLUS™ drive system was developed by Acument Global Technologies as a response to our customers’ request for a lightweight fastener that uses a standard hex socket. Functionally, HEXATRAC PLUS™ performs the same as a standard heavy hex flange bolt while simultaneously providing a 25-35% reduction in head weight. This weight reduction is achieved by the elimination of unnecessary material in the head.

Extensive testing was performed on the HEXATRAC PLUS™ drive system to confirm that there are no concerns with head integrity. The HEXATRAC PLUS™ drive system has a comprehensive set of standards, including manufacturing know-how and gaging to ensure a consistent quality product.

FEATURES

► Unique patented drive system geometry
► Larger than standard minimum across corners results in a tighter fit to a hex socket
► Controlled grain flow and drive geometry gaging

BENEFITS

► Fits within the same envelope as a standard heavy hex head
► Replaces a heavy hex flange bolt while having a 25-35% head weight reduction
► Uses standard hex sockets — no changes are required on the assembly line, including tightening parameters
► Performs equally well with surface drive sockets
► Drive system strength of 3X the torque required to yield the fastener when using a standard hex or surface drive socket
