2. High torque transmission:can withstand high torque, suitable for applications requiring strong fastening force.
3. Easy to operate:The widely used standard design makes it easy to operate and match almost all screwdriver tools.
Precautions
1. Choose the right screwdriver:Use a screwdriver that matches the slot shape of the screw to avoid damaging the head of the screw.
2. Install correctly:When screwing in the screws, make sure the screwdriver is aligned with the screw slot to ensure the best tightening effect.
3. Prevent damage:Avoid over-tightening, especially when using plastic parts, to prevent damage to the screws or parts.
What are Cross Recessed Screws?
Cross recessed screws are screws with a cross-shaped slot in the head, which are usually installed and removed using a Phillips screwdriver.
What is the difference between Philips screws and Pozidriv screws?
Philips Screws have standard Phillips slots, while Pozidriv Screws have additional small Phillips slots on top of the Phillips slots to provide better grip and anti-slip properties.
How does the head shape of Cross Recessed Screws affect their performance?
The cross recess design reduces screwdriver slippage and improves fastening efficiency and safety. The fineness of the design also affects torque transmission.
