Elesa’s new GN722 series of 180° operation spring latches are designed for use in steel fabrications or assemblies where quick and low cost positioning or locking is required with a simple manual activation. They are specifically designed to function in arduous and dirty environments such as in the production of jigs and fixtures, in clamping devices and assembly installations, for locking, fixing and securing components and parts in “dirty” or “messy” work places such as those where dusty materials are involved. This would include production/manufacturing or service situations such as shipbuilding, mining, agriculture etc.
The Elesa GN722 series is operated by turning the thumb lever 180° to either retract or extend the indexing pin, location of the mechanism is ensured with an indexing notch for each position. Housings of the Elesa GN722 are in zinc plated cast steel with black painted finish and are provided with mounting lugs for machine screw or nut/bolt fixing. GN722.1 however is left in natural steel to facilitate welding in position as required. Further information regarding Elesa products may be found at: www.elesanow.co.uk.
