Flange Button Head Torx Screw

Description

Flange Button Head Torx Screw:  This is an improvement on the Allen drive option and provides a more reliable slipless fixing using lesser operator effort.

The Low profile head facilitates space saving and safety.

The flange eliminates need for a washer.

Not only will this make sure even load to the target surface, this will help to prevent the screw from loosening and ensure good grip to the material in which it is fastened.

This property makes this head style suitable for fastening softer materials.

1. Design and Structure of Flange Button Head Torx Screw

The flange button head Torx screw combines three key design elements:

Button Head

The button head is characterized by its smooth, rounded dome-like top. Unlike flat or pan heads, the button head offers a low profile and clean look, which makes it desirable for visible installations where appearance matters. It also provides a broader contact area between the screw head and the surface, reducing the likelihood of marring or indentation.

Flange

The flange is an integrated washer-like extension under the head of the screw. This flange significantly increases the bearing surface of the screw, which helps distribute the load more evenly. The result is improved clamping force without the need for a separate washer. This feature also enhances the stability of the assembly, especially in materials that are softer or prone to crushing.

Torx Drive

The Torx drive, also known as a star drive, features a six-lobed internal recess. This design offers several mechanical advantages over traditional Phillips or slotted drives. It reduces the risk of cam-out (slipping out of the drive during tightening), allowing for higher torque application with less effort. It also extends the life of both the screw and the driver bit by minimizing wear and tear.

Common Applications of Flange Button Head Torx Screw

Due to its versatile features, the flange button head Torx screw is used in a wide range of industries:

• Automotive: Used in engine compartments, body panels, and interior trim due to its vibration resistance and sleek profile.

• Electronics and Enclosures: Offers a secure, low-profile fastener for cases and chassis while reducing the risk of internal damage.

• Appliances and Consumer Goods: Provides a neat appearance and reliable fastening for kitchen equipment, furniture, bicycles, and more.

• Machinery and Equipment: Suitable for securing covers, panels, and guards where strong clamping and tamper resistance are beneficial.

• Construction: Applied in metal framing, panel attachment, and outdoor fixtures where corrosion resistance is critical.
