The smooth operation of the VISE ACTION® design aligns the pawl behind the frame and draws it up tight with a single continuous half-turn motion. Its compression action provides consistent 6.4 mm (.25") pull-up for environmental sealing in gasketed applications, and helps reduce or eliminate noise and rattles caused by vibration. Over-center latching resists accidental opening due to shock or vibration.

Choose push-to-close, twist-to-open convenience in an elegant design that actually enhances performance. An anti-vibration feature keeps enclosures quiet, despite normal vibrations. This highly designed latch is offered in two different mechanisms, and multiple finishes, for door and for drawer applications. The sturdy design and construction of this stylish latch provides both aesthetic and functional benefits for vibration-susceptible applications. A secondary slide mechanism applies spring tension to dampen the effects of vibration. Type 1 mechanism designed for drawer applications Type 2 mechanism designed for door applications Rear-fastening design leaves front of latch and panel free of mounting hardware Tab on back of latch permits actuation from inside of enclosure Rear-mounting keeper provides screw-activated grip adjustment

Easy to install and maintain, the 1 & 2 Series R4-EM delivers the convenience of electronic access control with the security of a proven, robust, all-metal rotary latch design in a compact, integrated package. Easy push-to-close operation and electronic actuation simplify access across a wide variety of applications. An optional microswitch provides feedback on latch status, and a delayed re-lock version keeps a door unlocked for manual openingclosing cycles.A gear-motor drive distinguishes the R4-EM latch from competitive solenoid driven electromechanical latches – with lower power requirements, higher load capability, and a better feel to latch operation. The delayed re-lock version provides the flexibility of controlling the unlock time while monitoring remotely with an integral microswitch option. Proven all-metal rotary latch design provides durable vandal-resistant security Compact latch housing minimizes space requirements and maintains clean, concealed exterior look 12-24v DC operation and 2-wire or 3-wire input options, and the ability to accommodate multiple input signals offers versatility for installation and integration with new or existing access control systems Accepts access control signals from wireless RF key fobs or proximity cards, numeric keypads, card readers, biometric devices, or computernetwork control systems Integrated solution and simple, two-bolt mounting enables low install cost Convenient mechanical override enables manual release during power failure

These diverse actuator designs complete Southco's system for remote actuation of light-, medium-, and heavy-duty rotary latches using a cable connection. Multiple cable placement options satisfy in-line and perpendicular cable orientations. Ample hand-grip promotes easy user operation; low protrusion improves enclosure aesthetics.

Available in seven different options and end fitting styles to suit a wide range of application requirements, Southco’s AC Cables connect our line of actuators and rotary latches for remote actuation.
