EMKA has developed an innovative IP69K compression latch in stainless steel with visual status indication to serve railway and other special vehicle applications. This enables for distanced observation of the lock status – whether the lock is open or closed by a cover which is attached to the lock. If the lock is open then the cover is held open. With its compact design and high weather resistance the latch can be employed in many outdoor areas, including wind power plants, tunnel construction, traffic facilities and rail vehicles.
The lid of the new compression lock is spring-mounted and snaps shut automatically only when closed. If the lock is turned by 25 degrees or more, the lid remains open at an angle of 90 degrees. A visible opening indicator then appears on the inside of the lid: a red area with the company logo.
Major features include resistance to shaking and vibration, thus preventing unintentional opening of the lock, also the lock complies with protection class IP69K and fire protection regulations. Other features include automatic flap closure with a seal on the lock to protect from damage to the door.
