TXP – 6 Lobe Plus Handheld Inspection Gages
Precision penetration, GO / NO-GO, tamper resistant, and final inspection gages for TXP 6-lobe plus drive systems.
Universal Fastener Gages manufactures a complete line of handheld TXP 6-lobe plus inspection gages engineered for enhanced torque engagement verification, recess depth validation, and objective pass / fail inspection. Designed for high-performance fastener applications, TXP handheld gages provide repeatable, production-ready inspection without the need for bench systems.
What Is TXP 6-Lobe Plus?
TXP 6-lobe plus drive systems are engineered to provide improved torque transfer, reduced stress concentration, and enhanced driver engagement compared to standard 6-lobe systems.
TXP handheld gages are used to verify:
- Recess penetration depth
- Functional engagement geometry
- GO / NO-GO dimensional compliance
- Tamper resistant center pin integrity
- Driver bit wear and compatibility
These gages are commonly used in aerospace, automotive, medical device, and industrial fastener manufacturing environments.

Inspection Types Explained
- Penetration – Confirms recess depth meets design requirements and supports proper driver engagement.
- GO Inspection – Verifies minimum acceptable geometry for torque transmission.
- NO-GO Inspection – Detects excessive wear, over-machining, or nonconforming recess dimensions.
- Fallaway – Confirms proper disengagement characteristics in applicable systems.
- Tamper Resistant Verification – Ensures center pin and security features meet specification.
Applications
- Aerospace structural fasteners
- Automotive powertrain components
- Medical implant and instrument fasteners
- Defense and high-reliability systems
- Industrial torque-critical assemblies
TXP systems are frequently specified where higher torque transmission and enhanced engagement performance are required.
