The grip range is the distance from the back of the latch head to the contact point of the cam. Measure your panel thickness and the distance to the frame to calculate the required offset.
Cams Component Intelligence
Precision latching and locking mechanisms for industrial enclosure security.
What are Cams components?
Cams are critical mechanical components used to secure enclosure doors and panels. Selection depends on grip range, rotation angle, and environmental sealing requirements. Always verify the panel thickness and cutout dimensions to ensure a secure, vibration-resistant fit.
How to Choose Cams Components
Selecting the correct cam requires balancing mechanical fit with the security needs of your enclosure.
Grip Range
Measure the distance from the cam surface to the latching point to ensure a tight, rattle-free seal.
Rotation Angle
Determine if your application requires 90-degree or 180-degree rotation to clear the frame.
Panel Cutout
Verify the mounting hole shape (D-hole, double-D, or round) to prevent the lock from rotating during operation.
Material & Finish
Select stainless steel or zinc-plated finishes based on corrosion resistance needs in your operating environment.
Security Level
Choose between simple tool-operated cams or keyed-access cylinders depending on access control requirements.
