EMKA has announced a wide range of compression locks for an ever-widening range of applications. Typically, these modular compression latches/locks fit the same format as quarter-turns, but with a further 90-degree turn providing a substantial extra pull-down on the gasket (usually 6mm) producing a greatly enhanced sealing security up to IP69K. The compression mechanism itself provides the further significant benefit of vibration resistance – so aiding against nuisance opening on vibration-prone installations such as HVACR systems and specialist vehicles.
These locks offer a sophisticated design for issues demanding elevated IP ratings and vibration matters where compression locks provide a simple buy-and-fit solution for specialist panel builders. This combination of simplicity and effectiveness has demonstrated an irresistible package with significant application where more complex or less practical solutions had previously been employed.
Compression locks have become particularly popular in the hygiene area where stainless variants such as the EMKA 1000 program offer IP69K sealing, corrosion-resistance, vibration-resistance and hygiene regulation compliance for high-pressure wash-down areas.
