T is not a single product but rather a product
family. So a wide variety of drive combinations are possible, such as a hexalobular drive with a hexagonal head or a slotted hexalobular drive. As far as screw geometries, thread types, materials and surface finishes are concerned, all technically feasible options are available as each solution is custom-made. The efficient hexalobular drive is used for assembly. A
variety of tools can then be used for maintenance purposes. If the hexalobular drive becomes clogged with dirt, for example, or the right bit is not available, then there are other options such as an external drive for unfastening the threaded connection. Example applications:
