Cam latch E5 series

compressionkeyedquarter-turn

Short description
Quarter-turn cam latches E5 provide modular, panel-mounted quarter-turn access with multiple body materials and configurable cam geometries. Ramped cams deliver approximately 2 mm compression on closing to reduce vibration and rattle.

Features and Benefits

• Simple single-hole installation with a single mounting nut; pre-assembled versions simplify installation where grip exceeds panel thickness by ≈4 mm (0.16 in)
• Wide range of head styles and drive types to manage access and tool compatibility
• Ramped cam action provides ~2 mm (0.08 in) compression at closing for secure seating and reduced noise
• Push-to-close designs allow the cam to rotate on contact and a spring returns it to engaged position when clear
• Visual latched/unlatched indicator gives quick status confirmation
• Low-profile series for reduced projection; standard series for additional head styles, sealing and spring-loaded bodies for improved grip tolerance

Available Options

• Clockwise or counter-clockwise actuation options
• Manual, tool-actuated or keylocking (cylinder) variants, padlock-capable options
• Push-to-close for single-point and two-point latching configurations
• Multiple cam types: friction cams (35 mm or 45 mm), hook cams, various offsets
• Head/driver styles: slotted, hex, square, triangle, wing, T-handle, L-handle, flush cup, shutter driver, cylinder heads
• Material choices: zinc alloy, stainless steel (including 316), steel, aluminum alloy, glass-filled nylon, ABS, acetal copolymer
• Finishes: powder coat (black/custom), chrome plated, zinc plate, zinc‑nickel, passivated, electropolished, black organic finish
• Sealing options: O-rings / sealing washers for environmental sealing
• Miniature sizes available for small doors and confined spaces

Standards and Certifications

• Maximum static working loads vary by style: rotating cams up to 670 N (150 lbf)
• Push-to-close styles: maximum static working load up to 330 N (74 lbf)
