Compact rotary latch series from Southco

Concordville, Pennsylvania – Southco Inc., a global supplier of engineered access solutions, has further expanded its line of rotary latching solutions with the launch of the R4-10 rotary latch with integrated bumper. The newest rotary latch is available in single and two-stage options and features an integrated rubber bumper to eliminate noise and vibration caused by normal operation.

 

The R4-10 with integrated bumper features a design that traps the striker between a rubber bumper and rotor. Without extra clearance or room to move, any noise potential that could be caused by metal-on-metal movement or vibration is eliminated. While both the single and two-stage options provide secure latching, the two-stage option is designed specifically to prevent false latching conditions.

 

The high-strength, compact design of the R4-10 rotary latch occupies minimal space within the enclosure, providing concealed latching and increased security. Available in corrosion-resistant steel, these latches are suitable for demanding environments and can be used in a broad range of applications across industries. Additionally, R4 rotary latches can be combined with Southco’s line of mechanical and electronic actuators and cables for a complete rotary latching system.

 

Global Product Manager James Stroud adds, “With the incorporation of the rubber bumper option, our new R4-10 Series offers a significant reduction in the common ‘buzz, squeak and rattle’ of door hardware during normal operating conditions.”
