TENSION LATCHES
Light Duty, Medium Duty and Heavy Duty
Design and Features
Basic Components:

Over-Center Locked Position

Typical Tension Latch Unlocked Position

How It Operates:

Over-center operating action rotates drawhook center over base center and comes to a locked position below the common center line of the base and strike. Its advantages are: low profile and large take-up. Note: Strike must be mounted on same (or lower) panel plane as base of latch to insure positive lock-up.

With drawhook engaged in strike, a downward force is applied to handle causing drawhook to pull mating panels together.

Under-Center Operating Action

Positive lock is achieved when drawhook center is beyond the common center line of the base and strike. Panels are held in place with tension load on latch.
Under-Center Locked Position

Under-center operating action rotates the drawhook center under the base center and comes to a locked position above the common center line of the base and strike. Its advantages are: handle covers drawhook, short length and latch not sensitive to strike position. Take-Up: To unlock, simply pull up on handle and disengage drawhook from strike. Operating Action: Over-Center and Under-Center. There are two distinct operating actions for tension latches: over-center and under-center. Both provide positive lock-up.

Take-up = A - B

Over-Center Operating Action

Take-up is the distance latch pulls two mating sections or panels together.

H-4

TENSION LATCHES
Adjustment: Low Profile Versions.

Typical Threaded Drawhook

Many latches are provided with threaded drawhooks. Adjustment of drawhooks relative position to the strike is made by rotating the drawhook.

Special Purpose Drawhooks: Many special drawhook versions are available including, narrow or wide width for space consideration. Extended and Special Profile Versions for Gripping Wide Flanges or Spanning Raised Joints.

Self-compensating spring-steel drawhooks provide limited self-adjustment. Drawhooks with Lift-Spring Drawhook automatically springs away from strike when disengaged and keeps in upright position while unlocked. Some latches offer bases with slotted mounting holes, allowing adjustment before fastening latch to panel. Strength: Ultimate and Working. Ultimate strength is the load in pounds at which the latchs function is permanently impaired. Working strength is the maximum load in pounds which can be repeatedly applied without impaired function. Special Purpose Bases: Many special purpose bases are available. Adjustable Slotted Base Versions.

Reverse Offset Drawhooks.

Secondary Lock Versions: Secondary lock provides added security against accidental opening due to vibration, shock or other influences. Many secondary lock versions available. Some Secondary Lock Styles.

Radiused or Curved Base Versions.

Typical Custom Latches

Custom fastener rides in new autos.
(Camloc article excerts as appeared in Machine Design)
A new air filter assembly was needed to fit into the shrinking underhood space of a major auto makers current model. The box cover, in particular, caused problems. The air filter lid latch had to meet these requirements: Have low profile. Blend in with the underhood cosmetic theme. Be custom-shaped to fit the housing. Be free-standing with no base of its own. Snap into an existing boss area without installation tools. Be easy to operate by hand. Corrosion resistant to withstand 96 hours of salt spray testing. Be approximately 50 mm in length and 14 mm wide. When this problem was presented to designers at Camloc Products, a 47L latch was first suggested. It was a basic design of a low-profile latch made of 17-7PH stainless steel. The steel is heat-treatable, which allowed a tempered drawhook to be made. The latch gets its locking capability from the metals temper, otherwise it would bend. Using this method allows the latch to retain its shape while the drawhook itself acts as a spring. Engineers liked the standard design, but modifications were needed. Initally, a rivet-type base had been used, but the housing was changed to allow the latch to snap in place. The handle had to be shortened to provide more of an arc that conformed to the shape of the air cleaner. Final assembly was suitable for hand installation. The 17-7 PH stainless steel used in the latch is designed to withstand the combination of heat and moisture found under the hood on the air cleaner.

This custom designed latch helped clean up communications.

Initially, a latch on a communication switch cabinet was not clamping EMI/RFI gasketing, and not closing properly. This new latch solved the problem by providing a self compensating wireform pawl designed to lead into a slot in the cabinet frame, providing sufficient clamping force and vibration resistance.

(See Pawl Latches H-49 through H-66).

Latch and handle assembly was modified from a previous design to fit an air cleaner.

When to Use Latches

(Camloc article excerpts as appeared in Machine Design)

Latches are ideal for securing machine and equipment parts that must be opened or removed frequently. Many can be easily modified to suit special requirements, thereby eliminating the need for custom designs.
Many parts on industrial and business machines, agricultural and construction equipment, aircraft, and road vehicles must be opened or removed frequently to allow periodic servicing. Examples include hinged panels, doors drawers, windows, and safety guards. All of these components can be secured with latches. Latches allow quick access because the holding or locking elementa hook, pawl, or bolt releases immediately when a handle knob, or tool socket is actuated. Typically, the holding component spans the joint between a panel or door and the supporting frame. The latch base mounts either on the part to be opened/removed or the supporting frame. To lock a latch, a hook, pawl, or bolt must be engaged with a strike, hole, protruding lip, or directly with the mating joint member. Most latches are available in adjustable versions to accommodate a range of panel and frame thicknesses, so manufacturing tolerances usually are not critical. Such latches usually have a self-compensating drawhook made of spring steel, a slotted mounting base, or a threaded element to facilitate manual adjustment. Some adjustable latches can be set to accommodate gaskets in joints. Latches can be attached mechanically with rivets or screws, or they can be welded in place. Latches are usually made of steel, H-26 finished with a zinc-chromate coating. Other finishes include chrome, black epoxy or polyurethane paint, and black oxide. Another common latch material is stainless steel. Also, aluminum is sometimes used for latch bases where galvanic corrosion may be a problem. Actuators on hand-operated latches include knobs, levers, or pushbuttons; tool-operated latches use a number of different fittings. Such tool-operated latches are opened with screwdrivers or hex wrenches.

standard fasteners can be selected if possible. If little thought is given to latching until the product design is well underway, the only solution then is to extensively modify standard latches or design entirely new latches, both of which increase costs. Todays design standards call for an aesthetically pleasing appearance on the outside of machines and equipment. Consequently, latches often must have flush, unobtrusive actuators. Human engineering also plays an important role in latch selection. Thus, consideration should be given to who must operate the latch, for what purpose, under what circumstances, and how often. For example, if a door on a piece of heavy construction machinery must be opened often by an operator wearing gloves, a large knob or lever is needed. On the other hand, if an access panel on a computer peripheral need be removed only by a service technician, then an inconspicuous tool-operated latch is appropriate. Electronic equipment poses special requirements for latches. For instance, latches not only must secure access panels and doors, but also may have to provide sufficient clamping force to compress RFI/EMI metalized gaskets. These gaskets prevent radio frequency or electromagnetic interference from entering or being emitted by equipment. In addition, panels on certain electronic equipment must mount flush with outer surfaces, slam closed, and allow only limited access. Such requirements usually can be met conveniently by specifying pullrelease and trigger-release panel latches, which are available off the shelf.

Many versions
A seemingly endless variety of latches is available. The reason for so many different components is that latch suppliers routinely modify standard fasteners to suit special requirements. For instance, a certain overcenter tension latch is available in more tan 200 variations. Some of the modifications or options are a secondary lock or hasp, extended drawhook, reversed hook, right-angle mounting base, base with raised pivot, and even special finishes or materials. Standard latches can be sorted into four general categories: Handle-operated latches Rotary-actuated latches Slide latches Panel latches

Design considerations
Latching requirements should be considered at the onset of new product development so that
