Cam latch with adjustable grip from Southco
Southco expanded its E5 cam latch series with a version that provides flexible grip adjustment, allowing a single latching solution to be used for multiple applications. The cam latch features an extended shaft that allows it to be set at specific grip to tightly secure a door or panel, delivering a grip range of up to 11,5 mm, overcoming door tolerance inconsistency and permanent gasket settings.
The flexible grip adjustment also corrects the issue in applications with door gasketing which tend to set permanently under a prolonged compressed state, by allowing the grip to be readjusted to provide optimal door closing or gasket sealing. Ramp profile of cam also acts as lead-in to assist door closing, and provides up to 1 mm of compression. The component is tested to NEMA 4 and IP65 standards for water and dust protection, providing ingress protection, and is suitable for use indoors and out.
Deep offset, standard offset, and straight (no offset) options are available, covering a wide range of grip range needs. Metal cam features plastic cap that minimizes noise when making contact with keeper, delivering robust, scratch-free engagement with frame and protecting decorated or coated finishes. Separate and cam assembly is available to promote modular use.
