A 6-lob cap is a TORX®-type screw with a hexagonal star-shaped recess (drive), also known as a hexalobula, hex lobe, or hex lobe. It can be fastened with high torque without camming out, and has the characteristic of being easily compatible with speeding up and automation of work.
In addition, special tools are required to attach and detach them, so they are used inside mobile phones and computers, as well as around airbags and seatbelts in modern cars, to prevent the general public from disassembling them.
The ultra-low head type (maximum head thickness of 1.5 mm) allows for minimal protrusion after fastening without counterboring, and can also be used on thin members, simplifying the work process. It is also very effective in reducing the size and weight of equipment. In addition, because there is very little protrusion after tightening, it is used in welfare equipment and large playground equipment because it is ``people-friendly'' and ``safe.''
Due to its unique drive shape and beautiful appearance after tightening, it is increasingly being used in areas that are highly visible and have high design requirements.
