GN 702 Die-Cast Stop Locks

February 12, 2012

J.W. Winco Inc. announced it now offers series GN 702 Zinc Die-Cast Stop Locks with four indexing positions. These metric sized, RoHS-compliant stop locks offer a fast and easy way to close and hold doors, flaps, slide-in models, etc. by locking in four 90 degree positions.

Three versions are offered: with flange for surface mounting, with female thread, and with male thread. The latch on the stop locks is zinc die-cast, with black or red electrostatically applied powder coat textured finish. The indexing mechanism for the flanged and female threaded types is steel/plastic, steel parts zinc plated, blue passivated; for the male threaded type it is zinc die cast/plastic. The fastening flange is zinc die-cast with electrostatically applied powder coat in black textured finish.

In standard production, the mounting bore holes are usually made by punching or with a laser. GN 123 sheet metal punch is recommended for small series and sheet metal with a thickness less than 2mm. Mounting bore holes can also be made by drilling or milling.

    milling

    Machining operation in which metal or other material is removed by applying power to a rotating cutter. In vertical milling, the cutting tool is mounted vertically on the spindle. In horizontal milling, the cutting tool is mounted horizontally, either directly on the spindle or on an arbor. Horizontal milling is further broken down into conventional milling, where the cutter rotates opposite the direction of feed, or “up” into the workpiece; and climb milling, where the cutter rotates in the direction of feed, or “down” into the workpiece. Milling operations include plane or surface milling, endmilling, facemilling, angle milling, form milling and profiling.
