The stainless steel compression latches from the product systems listed below not only offer a flush-mounted design, tool-less adjustability, and precise compression; they now also are rated to IP65 for protection from dust and water. Thanks to an O-ring that rests in the beveled nut, water or dust that collect on the installation surface can no longer penetrate into the inside of your application.Get more news about compression latch,you can vist our website!

SOUTHCO (Concordville, PA) has expanded its line of VISE ACTION Compression Latches with a new covered version that allows the operator to identify whether the latch is open or closed. Southco’s E3 VISE ACTION Compression Latch with Bi-Stable Cover is designed with a cover that pops open when the latch is not secure, providing visual indication of latch status. Southco’s standard E3 VISE ACTION Compression Latch has been modified to work with a special cover that is installed on top of the latch at the time of assembly. Specifically:

The cover includes a bi-stable hinge that permits the cover to be fully opened or fully closed only.
When the latch is not fully closed, the cover cannot be closed and pops open, indicating that the latch is not secure.
When the latch is fully closed, the cover can also be fully closed, providing clear visual indication that the latch is secure.
By allowing operators to easily detect latch status, the E3 VISE ACTION Compression Latch with Bi-Stable Cover improves efficiency, enhances safety and reduces maintenance errors.
Designed for heavy use, the cover helps to protect the E3 VISE ACTION Compression Latch from dust and moisture, making it a suitable choice for outdoor, high vibration or corrosive environments.
