POWERDRIV SOCKETS 12 0501 NZ. pub. 09/14 © Zebra Profile with Hex Drive. The profile, which, as with many other inventions is dervied from space technology, the straight segments are replaced by intermeshing radii. The results: • The force is applied over the entire surface, not just along the edge. • Better distribution of the applied force, but also of the generated force. • Lower loads on all components. • Transitions from one flat to another are rounded off, not sharp edged. • Distribution of stresses without undesirable notch effect (peak stress points in the corners). Zebra Profile with Square Drive. The Zebra square profile with rounded edges reduces, similar to the hex drive, the notch effect. This means that sharp angles, which are prone to form zones of high loads, no longer exist, translating into a longer service life and higher transmission of force. ® Without Powerdriv - stress in the corner. With Powerdriv - stress distributed on the surface. Zebra Profile. • Powerful action due to higher drive torque. • Transmission of torque well above DIN requirements. • Longer service life of the drive as well as screws. • Less strain on surface-coated and soft metal screws. • Damage is avoided to a large extent. • Fewer cases of seizing of sockets or screw heads. • Time savings. • The ball guide groove is milled into all four sides of the square hole. • The socket can be pushed onto the drive in any position.
