HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach – 4 February 2021 – Southco Asia Ltd., a
subsidiary of Southco Inc., a leading global provider of engineered access
solutions such as locks, latches, captive fasteners, electronic access
solutions and hinges/ positioning technology, has expanded its successful R4 Rotary Latch
series with a new debris resistant version that offers enhanced performance for
medium-duty applications. Southco’s R4-75 Rotary Latch offers an integrated
mounting bracket to simplify installation and features a concealed rotary
mechanism, to protect against dirt and debris, for improved durability in
applications where remote actuation is required.
R4-75 Rotary Latch for Debris Resistant Latching
The R4-75
Rotary Latch with Debris Resistant Design offers a compact solution for
applications that require concealed mounting and remote actuation of a door or
panel. An in-line trigger and external rotor feature provide robust latching
for interior or exterior enclosures and compartments, making it an ideal choice
for the Off-Highway, Truck and Bus & Coach applications.
Constructed
in corrosion-resistant steel, the R4-75 Rotary Latch with Debris Resistant
Design provides durable performance in high vibration environments, and protects
against exposure to dust and dirt. Two-stage engagement protects against false
latching, providing secure and positive latching at low closing forces with
push-to-close convenience.
