Compression latching of control cabinets has become even easier to operate now with the introduction of EMKA’s 1152 compression swinghandle to IP65. It’s small size and single cutout installation make it ideal for cabinets where immediate manual operation is called for, without the projection of a standard L or T handle.
The 1152 is available with or without a key lock cylinder and presents a smooth low profile of just 9mm, making it excellent in confined spaces where the risk of catching on loose clothing is a problem. Clamping operation is provided by the action of depressing the swinghandle into the escutcheon to provide 3mm of axial movement, firmly clamping the gasket for optimum sealing; and released by lifting the handle which then allows 90° rotation of the handle and tab so the door may open.
