Bits and Screws

The Spin Robotics bit comes in two variants: a magnetic bit for use with magnetic screws and a vacuum bit for use with non-magnetic screws.

The vacuum bit consists of three main parts:

  • Bit — a standard 50 mm Wera screwdriver bit, matched to the drive recess of the screw.

  • Collar — transfers the suction, sets the bit protrusion and seals against the mouthpiece and safety shield via an O-ring.

  • Mouthpiece — the suction cup that contacts the screw head.

The vacuum channel runs through the collar and opens at the mouthpiece, allowing the screw to be held against the bit face during pickup and transport.

The vacuum bit exploded and assembled: Wera bit (1), O-ring (2), collar (3), grub screw (4) and mouthpiece (5)

The magnetic bit replaces the mouthpiece with a magnet embedded in the collar. Since no vacuum seal is needed, the magnetic bit does not have an O-ring.

Hint

It is recommended to use magnetic bits whenever the application allows it.

Selecting the Bit, Collar, and Mouthpiece

The bit, collar, and mouthpiece (vacuum only) must be selected to match the drive type and screw head geometry.

The tables below show the different bit collar sizes. The inner diameter of the collar must be selected to match the bit.

Adjusting the Bit Protrusion

When adjusting the position of the Wera bit in the collar, ensure that the bit is fully inserted into the screw while the mouthpiece/magnet is fully in contact with the screw.
