Cams

Cams are essential accessories for the functional integration of locks intended for industrial furniture, technical cabinets, electrical panels, and professional furnishings. Designed to ensure efficient transmission of locking motion, OMR cams are available in different configurations-straight, cranked and hook cams-to suit multiple installation geometries. Made of steel or die-cast metal with a galvanized finish, they ensure mechanical strength, durability and corrosion protection even in harsh industrial environments.

FOCUS

The choice of cam depends on the type of lock and the door or door configuration. Straight, cranked and hook cams are suitable for linear fittings, while straight, cranked and hook cams allow secure locking on thicker gauges or greater distances. Galvanized steel models offer high tensile strength and wear resistance, ideal in high-stress industrial settings. Always check for dimensional compatibility with the lock installed.

FAQ

What are cams used for in industrial furniture locks?

The cams are used to transfer the movement of the lock to the locking point of the door or flap. In a locking system for technical cabinets or electrical panels, the cam allows the panel to be properly locked or unlocked by rotation or sliding, providing security and stability.

What is the difference between straight, cranked, and hooked cams?

The straight cam is used for frontal locking without misalignment; the cranked cam allows locking in staggered planes or at different depths; and the hook cam is designed to lock doors by side hooking, useful when more mechanical hold is needed.

Why choose a galvanized steel cam?

Galvanized steel offers an excellent combination of structural strength and corrosion protection. It is ideal for industrial applications where cams are subjected to frequent opening/closing cycles or exposed to the elements, ensuring long life and reliability of the locking system.
