Rail transport is subject to peak requirements in design, function and material.

Our challenge was to combine the advantages of a flush-mounted quarter turn with those of a compression latch while ensuring easy, tool-less adjustment of the cam.
Our solution: The flush-mounted compression latches made of stainless steel. Both product variants are known for the following benefits.
• Flush-mounted design
• Closing position visible
• Compression 6 mm
• Vibration-proof according to DIN EN 61373
• Different assembly options
• Two housing lengths
Flush-mounted design: does not extend outward and therefore avoids the risk of getting caught for increased safety, for example in escape routes
Closing position visible: marks on housing and inserts for visualization of the exact closing position
Compression 6 mm: safe contact pressure without rubbing of the cam on the frame
Vibration-proof: successfully tested in accordance to DIN EN 61373
Different assembly options: the anti-rotation device can be mounted with countersunk screws and if using washers also with cylinder head screws or weld studs
Two housing lengths: different door thicknesses based on housing length 28 mm and 37 mm allow the versatile use of materials including wood, fiberglass synthetics and sandwich material
Wide range of H dimensions: design can be varied by the cranking of the cam
