ISO 14580 TX

PTFE Coated Stainless Steel Torx-Hexalobular Low Socket-Cylinder Head Cap Screws, available in sizes from M5 to M10 with lengths ranging from 5mm to 60mm. Crafted from high-quality stainless steel and coated with PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene), these screws deliver exceptional corrosion resistance, low friction, and enhanced durability. The PTFE coating provides a non-stick surface that offers superior protection against rust, chemicals, and environmental wear, while also ensuring easy cleaning and maintenance. Featuring a Torx-Hexalobular drive, these cap screws offer a secure and reliable fastening solution, making them ideal for use in demanding environments and precision applications.

Metric Size – M5, M6, M10

Length (mm) – 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 16, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 50, 55, 60

PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene) coated stainless steel combines the desirable properties of both materials to create a versatile and highly functional composite. Here's a brief overview of its properties:

1.     Corrosion Resistance: Stainless steel inherently resists corrosion due to its chromium content, while PTFE adds an additional layer of protection, making the material highly resistant to rust, chemicals, and environmental degradation.

2.     Low Friction: PTFE is known for its low coefficient of friction, providing smooth and easy movement. When coated onto stainless steel, it reduces friction between surfaces, preventing wear and enhancing durability.

3.     Chemical Inertness: PTFE is chemically inert and resistant to a wide range of chemicals. When applied to stainless steel, it enhances the material's resistance to acids, bases, solvents, and corrosive substances.

4.     Temperature Stability: PTFE exhibits exceptional thermal stability, maintaining its properties over a wide range of temperatures (-200°C to +260°C). When combined with stainless steel, it enhances the material's ability to withstand extreme temperatures without losing its integrity.

5.     Non-Stick Properties: PTFE has excellent non-stick properties, preventing adhesion of substances to its surface. When coated onto stainless steel, it creates a non-stick surface that is easy to clean and maintain.

6.     Electrical Insulation: PTFE is a good electrical insulator, providing resistance to electricity and preventing electrical conductivity. When applied to stainless steel, it enhances the material's electrical insulation properties.

7.     Biocompatibility: PTFE is biocompatible and inert to biological tissues, making it suitable for medical and pharmaceutical applications. When coated onto stainless steel, it enhances the material's biocompatibility, reducing the risk of adverse reactions in biological systems.

What is a Torx-Hexalobular Low Socket-Cylinder Head Cap Screw?

A Torx-Hexalobular Low Socket-Cylinder Head Cap Screw is a type of fastener characterized by a cylindrical head with a recessed Torx-Hexalobular (also known as Torx-Plus) socket and a smooth, rounded top. This screw combines the features of both Torx and Hexalobular drives, offering enhanced resistance to cam-out and improved torque transmission. The low socket-cylinder head design allows the screw to be installed in tight spaces where clearance may be limited. These screws are commonly used in machinery, automotive assembly, electronics, and other applications where a secure and low-profile fastening solution is required.
