TORX PARALOBE™
HIGH TORQUE TRANSFER DRIVE SYSTEM
The TORX PARALOBE™ Drive System was developed by Acument Global Technologies, born as a result of listening to our customers’ needs and concerns with other drive systems. It also improves upon the benefits of our TORX® and TORX PLUS® drive systems by offering increasing drive bit strength, life, and increasing torque 20% over TORX PLUS® drive system; 50% over TORX® drive system!
FEATURES
► Unique geometry, patentable drive system
► Greater drive system cross-sectional area versus TORX® and TORX PLUS® drive systems
► ‘Full surface drive contact’ with reduced drive bit/recess contact stresses versus TORX® and TORX PLUS® drive systems
► Vertical straight sidewalls and reduced bit/recess wobble producing a more solid ‘fit’
► Controlled gaging and oversized recess lobe option
BENEFITS
► Lobe geometry area increased approximately 6% over TORX PLUS® drive system producing:
– Approximately 20% greater drive bit torsional strength and drive systems strength
– Approximately 100% greater finite drive bit fatigue life
► Drive size consideration may improve dead strength ratio and weight reduction
► Potential for less coating damage during installation
► Oversized recess lobe option reduces effects of recess fill
TORX PARALOBE™ Internal
TORX PARALOBE™ Internal Benefits:
► The TORX PARALOBE™ Drive System was developed as a result of listening to our customers’ needs and concerns with other drive systems. It also improves upon the benefits of our TORX® and TORX PLUS® drive systems by offering increasing drive bit strength, life, and increasing torque 20% over TORX PLUS® drive system; 50% over TORX® drive system!
TORX PARALOBE™ AUTOSERT®
TORX PARALOBE™ AUTOSERT® Benefits:
► The AUTOSERT® feature is the perfect solution for assembly situations where the driver bit is continuously rotating. The compound angle ramps guide the driver bit into the recess. Creating a self-centering and engaging action. It’s the perfect solution for automated, robotic and other assembly situations where the driver bit is continuously rotating
► Allows for higher rpm engagement
► Speeds up engagement
► Reduces assembly time
► Increases productivity
► Enlarged window of engagement improves drive bit alignment in offset and off-angle conditions
► Eases starting
► Eliminates the need to slow down the driver bit
► Increases tool life
► Eliminates cam-out debris
TORX PARALOBE™ STICKFIT
TORX PARALOBE™ STICKFIT Benefits:
► A taper along the flute centerline suited for non-magnetic horizontal and vertical applications
► Stable stick fit between drive tool and recessed part
► Suitable for manual and automated applications where the orientation of the fastener changes between the time the fastener is engaged on the bit and the time the fastener enters the nut thread
