Rotary latch features debris resistant design and concealed latching

Southco has expanded its R4 rotary latch series with a new debris resistant version that offers enhanced performance for medium-duty applications.

Southco’s R4-75 rotary latch with debris resistant design offers an integrated mounting bracket that simplifies installation and features a concealed rotary mechanism providing protection from dirt and debris, for improved durability in applications where remote actuation is required.

The R4-75 rotary latch with debris resistant design offers a compact solution for applications that require concealed mounting and remote actuation of a door or panel. An in-line trigger and external rotor feature provide robust latching for interior or exterior enclosures and compartments, making it an ideal choice for the off-highway, truck and bus and coach applications.

Constructed in corrosion-resistant steel, the R4-75 rotary latch with debris resistant design provides durable performance in high vibration environments, and protects against exposure to dust and dirt. Two-stage engagement protects against false latching, providing secure and positive latching at low closing forces with push-to-close convenience.

Southco’s R4-75 rotary latch with debris resistant design provides new levels of design flexibility to OEMs, particularly for exterior panels on buses and motor coaches. The R4-75 Rotary Latch with Debris Resistant Design provides secure, hidden latching and remote actuation, while also simplifying the installation process.
