Fastener manufacturer Southco has added a stainless steel R4-10 rotary latch with integrated bumper to its line of rotary latching solutions. The Southco’s newest rotary latch is available in single and two-stage options and features an integrated rubber bumper that eliminates noise and vibration caused by normal operation.

The R4-10 with integrated bumper features a design that traps the striker between a rubber bumper and rotor. Without extra clearance or room to move, any noise potential that could be caused by metal-on-metal movement or vibration is eliminated. While both the single and two-stage options provide proven, secure latching, the two-stage option is designed specifically to prevent false latching conditions.
Available in corrosion-resistant stainless steel and steel, these latches are suitable for demanding environments. Global Product Manager, James Stroud adds, “The newest addition to our R4-10 Series combines rugged stainless steel construction and provides a significant reduction in the common ‘buzz, squeak and rattle’ of door hardware during operation, making it an ideal choice for heavy duty application zones where corrosion resistance is crucial to product performance.
