torx screw Cam-Out Prevention and Assembly Specifications

Cam-out and slot damage are common problems for Torx screws due to improper assembly. Mastering correct techniques helps avoid screw scrapping and maintenance difficulties.

1. Main Causes of Cam-Out

Mismatched or worn bits, excessive torque and tilted assembly angle lead to uneven force and slot damage. Use standard bits and check wear regularly.

2. Bit Selection and Usage Standards

Use S2 alloy steel bits matching the screw size. Ensure the bit is fully seated in the recess before applying torque. Replace worn bits immediately.

3. Torque Control and Assembly Techniques

Set torque according to screw size. Reduce speed when using power tools and pre-align manually first. Keep the bit coaxial with the screw during assembly.
