Quarter turn lock cam limiter 18mm offset Steel Zinc Plated

What is a quarter turn lock cam?

Quarter turn lock cams are mechanical components used in conjunction with WDS standard quarter turn locks. These cams are configured with various offsets and profiles to ensure precise and secure locking mechanisms. When engaged, quarter turn lock cams rotate a quarter turn to either lock or unlock, making them essential components in applications where quick and reliable fastening and release are required, such as in industrial equipment and enclosures.

What is the difference between a type A and type B cam?

The main difference between a type A and type B quarter turn lock cam lies in their offset orientation. A type A cam has an offset that bends away from the lock head, while a type B cam has an offset that bends toward the lock head. These different offset configurations are chosen based on factors such as the depth of the door frame and the size of the door to ensure proper and effective locking mechanisms.

What is the difference between and limiter and non limiter cam?

A limiter quarter turn lock cam has a notch that restricts the rotation of the cam to a specific degree or angle, ensuring precise control, while a non-limiter cam allows for full, unrestricted rotation, making it suitable for applications where a complete turn is required for locking or unlocking. Cams with limiters can only be used with locks that have a notch to suit (limiter type), whereas non limiter cams can be used on any lock. This cam has a limiter.
