At HPP, we offer PEEK Torx-Hexalobular Socket-Cylinder Head Cap Screws (ISO 14579), available for immediate dispatch from our UK warehouse.
All PEEK Torx-Hexalobular Socket-Cylinder Head Cap Screws on our website meet the ISO 14579 specification. These screws are designed with a 6-lobe Torx drive, providing precise and secure fastening that is compatible with standard Torx drivers (drive sizes are detailed in the dimensions table).
Modification
Our PEEK Torx-Hexalobular screws are frequently used in vacuum systems due to their excellent strength and thermal properties. However, when blind holes are present, trapped air can make achieving the desired vacuum challenging. HPP offers modifications for these screws and other fasteners to incorporate venting, making them suitable for vacuum applications. Contact us for more information about our customization services.
Applications
PEEK Torx-Hexalobular Socket-Cylinder Head Cap Screws are popular because of their high strength and precise torque transmission, while retaining the core characteristics of PEEK. These screws are utilized across various demanding applications, including Formula 1, life sciences, synchrotron equipment, and even solar-powered watercraft (see our case study on EPFL’s Swiss Solar Boat).
What are PEEK Torx-Hexalobular Socket-Cylinder Head Cap Screws?
PEEK (polyether ether ketone) Torx-Hexalobular Socket-Cylinder Head Cap Screws are fasteners with a cylindrical head that features a 6-lobe Torx socket. Made from PEEK, these screws are known for their superior strength, durability, and resistance to high temperatures. PEEK is a semi-crystalline polymer that offers excellent resistance to chemicals and mechanical wear, making it an ideal choice for challenging environments.
These screws are designed to securely join components and are tightened using a Torx driver, known for providing precise, slip-resistant engagement. This feature makes them particularly suitable for applications requiring high torque and reliable fastening, even in high-vibration environments.
PEEK Torx-Hexalobular screws are an ideal choice for applications where strength, chemical resistance, and thermal stability are critical. They withstand mechanical stress and wear while maintaining performance integrity. Available in various sizes and configurations, these screws cater to a wide range of industry needs.
These fasteners are widely used across industries such as aerospace, automotive, and medical device manufacturing, where they are essential for securing components like hinges, brackets, and electrical hardware, ensuring reliable connections in demanding conditions.
