The compression cam latches GN 516 have a closing mechanism which transfers the rotary movement of the operating element resp. socket key into a 90° turn and then into a 6 mm linear stroke of the latch arm.
This mechanism is designed to form a tight and vibration-proof latch in the end position (clamping position) in connection with an elastic element, such as a door or casing seal.
Latch arms with different bend angles cover a latch arm distance A (retaining range) from 17 to 63 mm. If the measured retaining position lies between two latch arm distances A, the next smaller value must be selected.
The compression cam latches GN 516 are supplied with loosely enclosed latch arm.

For installation, set a hole in the door, cover or hatch as shown in the outline drawing. When installed, the rotary clamping latches are inserted through the hole from the front. The hexagon nut can then be pushed over the latch from the back and bolted in place. The required installation bore in the door leaf, is usually generated by punching or laser machining in series production. The installation bore diameter can also be created by drilling or milling as shown in the outline drawings. For small series and steel sheets below 2 mm thickness, the Sheet Metal Punches GN 123 are the tool of choice. |
