New alternative STRACK: Klinkenzug particularly suited for small strokes
The newly developed latch lock Z4-23 is particularly suited for small strokes, which have been combined up to now by Z4 and Z6 in one latch lock. Z4-23 only requires three instead of 7 mm minimum stroke for itself.

STRACK NORMA has always worked according to the motto “from the practice to the practice”, because the best ideas are arising from the market requirements. One example is the success story of the globally used latch lock.

Introduced onto the market in 1976, STRACK is continuously developing the latch lock even further today: new challenges required customized and perfected solutions.

In 1979 we presented the catch latch lock Z4 as a further development of the rake latch lock Z5. In order to increase the production safety, the formerly only easily drawn and unsecured plate now locks in a defined position. Also, for fast-running tools the latch locks of the series Z4 are excellently suited: because now only small masses are moved, they allow a quick opening and closing of the mould.

With the extended possibilities of the lack lock series Z4 we met the requirement to realize different ways with different parting planes, to meet the demand of delayed drawing of the mould plates after a certain sequence of motion and the demand for locking functions and early returns.

Z4 and Z6 well combined

It is not rare that different functions such as the delay of a Z4 and a further push lock Z6 in one sequence of motion are combined. Such practicable solutions often make the leap to the standard – a success for the development team of STRACK NORMA, which always works out the best solution for the customer.
