Product Selection Differences for Torque Transfer Screws

When selecting torque transfer screws, there are several key factors to consider:

  1. Head Style: Torque transfer screws come in various head styles such as flat, oval, pan, truss, or round heads. The head style used should match the application requirements.

  2. Drive Type: The drive type of the torque transfer screw can vary, with common options including Torx, Phillips, or slotted drives. The drive type chosen should offer good torque control and security.

  3. Material: Torque transfer screws are available in different materials such as stainless steel, carbon steel, or aluminum. The material selected should be compatible with the application's environmental conditions and required strength.

  4. Thread Type: The thread type of the screw, whether coarse or fine, should be selected based on the material being fastened and the required holding power.

  5. Size: The size of the torque transfer screw, including the length and diameter, should be chosen based on the specific application requirements and load-bearing needs.

  6. Coating: Consider the need for coating on the torque transfer screw for corrosion resistance or aesthetic purposes. Common coatings include zinc plating, black oxide, or ceramic coatings.
