One of the key advantages of the AC-15 Rotary Latch Actuator is its surface-mounted profile, which ensures minimal interior space usage and eliminates the need for additional brackets for mounting. With the introduction of the new cable accessory, the AC-15 Rotary Latch Actuator now offers remote latching capabilities, making it particularly well-suited for larger panels where multiple latches are required, and there is a considerable distance between the optimal actuator placement and latch placement.
The cable accessory consists of a barrel bracket and pulley sub-assembly, featuring a low interior profile and a straightforward installation process, making it easy to integrate into existing designs. To set up a complete rotary system, users only need an AC-15 Actuator, the cable accessory, compatible cables, rotary latches, and screws. This simplifies the process of upgrading existing AC-15 actuators to support remote or multi-point latching.
Southco’s cable accessory apart is its ability to support multi-point latching systems for surface-mounted pull handles, offering designers and engineers greater flexibility when placing the actuator on the panel. This results in more efficient and ergonomic designs, particularly for applications where precise actuator placement is critical.
The AC-15 Rotary Latch Actuator is renowned for its durability and versatility, making it suitable for large panels that require long-term exposure to various environmental conditions. The actuator features a glass-filled reinforced nylon housing that provides protection for the internal mechanism. The remote release cable accessory is constructed with a pre-galvanized steel pulley sub-assembly and an aluminum barrel bracket, ensuring its resilience in harsh weather conditions. Additionally, the AC-15 rotary actuator is available in a range of non-locking and locking options, making it a versatile solution suitable for a wide array of applications.
Southco’s introduction of this innovative cable accessory further enhances the capabilities of the AC-15 Rotary Latch Actuator, providing an ideal solution for applications where secure and efficient latching is essential, such as in the transportation industry. With its compact design, robust construction, and multi-point latching capabilities, the AC-15 Rotary Latch Actuator with the new cable accessory is set to find wide-ranging applications in various industries.
