In Philips screwdriver pre-set the screw depth takes place and eliminates chances of under- or over-inserting a drywall screw. We can fit the screwdriver deeper into the screw head and there is no blade sliding out sideways. These drivers are intentionally designed to slip out of the head when a certain torque limit is exceeded, which depends upon strength and weakness.
Torx screw is the favorite of builders and serious DIYers and it is sometimes called the star screw. It has a 6-point recessed star tip in sizes that range from 0. Most common sizes are T15 and T25, and it is fitted on every size available. Power drill users like Torx screws for the same reason they like Robertson screws because they resist slippage with power application.
Torx screws are commonly used for structural framing, finish work, and even as wood-to-concrete fasteners. It features magnetic bits that assist in keeping the screws in place on the drill tip. Screwdrivers and bits come in size to fit the hex-head screw recesses from around 0. Hex-head screws are small in size and commonly found in doorknobs, towel bars, and in some mechanical installations. The designs consist of a tapered square-tipped screwdriver that fits into a matching square recess in the screw head.
It requires a hex key screwdriver also known as an Allen screwdriver to tighten or loosen. Allen-type screwdrivers are L- or T-shaped screwdrivers, also Allen bits are come for ratcheting screwdrivers and drills. For example, Installing small fixtures such as towel bars. It pays to have a variety of tip sizes available in the market.
It is the fastening system that would provide a firmer hold and less slippage than conventional slotted screws and screwdrivers. This is the least common of the common screwdrivers and has perhaps the highest torque tolerance of all drive types. Squarehead screws are commonly found in the automotive and furniture industries because of their durability. Cushion grip is provided for better handling and skips the slippage and quick driver size identification.
It has a precision machine tip for exact fit. It has an integral flange inside handle provides a better solid twist-resistant blade anchor. It is an improved variation of Phillips drive design.
The Pozidriv drive style was originally formed to solve the issue come in Phillips screwdrivers that are prone to cam-out.
The slipping out of a drive recess that occurs when torque exceeds a certain limit is called cam-out. The Pozidriv drive has the same design as a Phillips drive style of self-centering. Increased torque without cam-out and Greater surface contact engagement between the drive and the recess in the fastener head making it harder to slip are the main features. Pozidriv screws can be used like Phillips screws but easily available.
This drive is still extremely popular in manufacturing due to its self-centering design. It provides a balance of strength and efficiency also its handle designed for faster rotation in low-torque applications, for a comfortable grip and higher performance. The screwdrivers are packaged that can easily be stored in a tool chest for storage. Clutch head screws have got design changes from the last few years.
The slots resemble a bow-tie, with the older version having a circular recess in the middle. They have the application in the automotive industry as they are popular in recreational vehicles. A clutch head screwdriver will have better torque with these heads and are designed with slotted drives a security version of a clutch screwdriver that can be screwed one way with a slotted screwdriver. It cannot be easily removed. These are found mostly in places where maintenance is infrequent, such as bus stations or prisons.
Helical-cut steel, heat-treated steel gears for long life. At first glance, this variation of the screwdriver is the same as Phillips but has some important differences. The tip of a Frearson comes to a sharp point, as compared to the Phillips has a rounded point. The core sits inside of the hollow cylinder. Helical blades are wound around the core and are secured tightly against the hollow cylinder.
The helical blades create pockets between the core and the inner wall of the hollow cylinder. To use this device as a pump, one end is placed in a low-lying fluid source and then tilted up into a discharge tank. To move water, simply rotate the screw. As the screw moves, it scoops up a small amount of water into the first pocket. On the next turn of the screw, the first pocket of water moves to the second pocket, and a new scoop of water enters the first pocket.
This motion continues until finally the first scoop of water comes out at the other end. The site of the fluid to be moved and the amount of fluid to be moved determine the outer radius of the Archimedes screw the distance from the center of the core to the outer wall of the hollow cylinder , the length of the tool, and how much the tool has to be tilted the slope.
But there are other parameters that are utilized to optimize the efficiency of the screw; for instance, the inner radius the distance from the center of the core to the inner wall of the hollow cylinder , the number of blades, and the pitch of the blades Rorres, The pitch or period is the length of one cycle of the blade. In this science project, step into Archimedes' shoes. Design the most-efficient pump using the materials listed in the Materials and Equipment list below.
Have fun and remember that Archimedes loved solving difficult problems! Check out this site for information about the Archimedes screw, as well as an animation of how it works:.

Accessed 22 Nov. Introduction Archimedes of Syracuse was born in the 3rd century BC. Figure 1. Engraving of Archimedes of Syracuse. Figure 2. Here is an inside view of an Archimedes screw pump. The screw is turned and water is scooped up from the river and makes its way up the screw pockets to the canal.
