J.W. Winco Inc., New Berlin, Wis., recently announced the availability of GN 854 Latch Clamps with Trigger Function in metric sizes. The RoHS-compliant latch clamps are said to feature a highly robust, sturdy and compact design that enables their use under demanding conditions, according to a Feb. 17 news release from J.W. Winco.
A specially designed catch allows the forced loosening of the clamp by the clamping arm moving the pulling latch forward, particularly useful for separating mold halves. The clamping bearing/clamping arm is made of forged, weldable, blank steel. The pulling latch/bearing pins are steel, St 37, blank. The catch is sheet metal steel, blank.
Clamps are available with bore for gear lever handle or with clamping arm. The former version is operated with a gear lever handle that is plugged into the latch and pulled off after operation. This is said to save space and does not expose the gear lever handle to adverse ambient conditions, according to the company.
The catch can also be mounted using screws or bolts, and, if required, clamps and catches are available as separate parts.
