6-Lobe Pin Torx Button Head Security Machine Screws offer a medium level of security and tamper resistance at a relatively low cost. They are also referred to as Star Pin Drive screws, Tamper Torx ®, Torx® Pin and Resistorx®.
This 2-way reusable fixing is an ideal security fastener for applications where maintenance is required.
The button head hosts a 6-point star-shaped screw head, with a centre pin, which resists standard torx bits and means that a special insert bit or key wrench is required to insert and remove it.
This economic, secure solution is able to be used in higher torque applications, meaning it can be tightened to very high levels.
It hosts a number of advantages, including reduced slippage compared to Philips and 2-Hole Drives – which reduces the risk of damage to drive tip, screw head or application, which in turn makes it cost effective to install and remove.
It can be used alongside Pin TX Barrel Nuts, Security Wave Nuts, Shear Nuts, Kinmar Reusable Nuts, Kinmar Permanent Nuts, 4-Hole Nuts, or for added security.
Non-standard sizes and materials are available to order, including small volume manufacture, modifications and custom parts made to drawings.
Made from both A2 and A4 Stainless Steel, with Metric and Imperial sizes available from Fastenright.
Non-standard sizes and materials are available to order as specials, including custom parts made to drawings.
