The switching elements of the Meusburger E 1820 flat latch lock and E 1840 round latch lock now come with a DLC coating for even longer service life and, due to excellent dry-running properties, suitability for use in cleanrooms.
The high-quality latch locks are used to control and securely lock the floating plate in three-plate molds. According to Meusburger, the compact E 1820 flat latch lock ensures optimal force transmission through its stable, large surface latches. Further, DLC-coated switching elements give these flat latch locks even longer service life. Precise control cams ensure accurate switching while the integrated damper provides for a smooth and quiet operation.
The Meusburger E 1840 round latch lock is said to be an optimal solution for mold bases where no protruding attachments are allowed. Meusburger says installation space required for the round latch lock can be easily created through unidirectional machining. Because of the DLC-coated switching elements and catch part, the round latch lock can now also be used in cleanrooms, and reduces overall wear.
To view this latch lock selection online, customers can enter required parameters and export the ready-to-use latch locks to their CAD software. Both products are immediately available from stock.
