EMKA has announced that its compression latch technology continues to be applied to standard products, so increasing the performance possible for standard applications in arduous environments such as to IP69 where required. The company's compression latches improve sealing and enclosure performance parameters including security of door closure, greater envelope rigidity, more even gasket pull-down, as well as an improved user experience.
Compression latches are offered ex-stock for external installations such as railways, street furniture, oil and gas facilities, specialist vehicles which includes motor homes, mobile caravans, static caravans, and also for HVAC. They are becoming increasingly in demand for ordinary commercial/industrial situations where complete certainty of performance is needed, such as areas subject to wash-down or where a lock-and-forget operation is needed.
Materials include zinc-die, stainless steel and polyamide in 'quarter-turn' style - 90-degree + 90-degree operation (90-degree to close, 90-degree to compress), as well as swing handle designs where operation of the lever handle creates the compression action.
