E5 - Cam Latches

5/15/2018

These latches deliver affordable simplicity – including quick access with just a quarter turn, the versatility of multiple body materials, plus the flexibility of modular design for numerous actuation and dimensional options. Ramped cams provide a snug fit to minimize vibration and rattles.

Straightforward design provides simple installation with a single hole and single mounting nut. Assembled latches simplify and speed installation in applications where grip exceeds panel thickness by 4 mm (.16"). For unassembled latches, cam mounts on end of drive stud with a single screw.

Numerous head styles provide a wide range of access management security
Ramping action on rotating cam styles provides about 2 mm (.08") of compression on closing, while numerous offset options satisfy a wide range of grip dimensions
Push-to-close cam style rotates freely from the "closed" position as it contacts the frame or keeper; an integral spring pushes cam back into the engaged position once cam clears the keeper
Latched/unlatched status indicator provides user with quick visual confirmation of latch status
Low Profile Series offers sleek tapered head styles with a lower profile
Expanded Standard Series offers more formats, environmental sealing, and spring-loaded bodies for better grip tolerance and vibration resistance
