What is the clamping force of Turnlock parts?

What is the clamping force of Turnlock parts?

 

a turnlock typically does not provide a guaranteed fixed clamping force.

The clamping force is dependent on the thickness of the panels in the customer's application. The thicker the panels the bigger the clamping force will be.

The customer should always test this within the application.

Reason: the clamping force is dependent on the variation of thickness of your panels and the thickness of the compressed seal

Clamping forces of turnlocks depend also on the series:

MTH     30-60N

HGR     150-250N

MHS     350-380N

HHS      50N-500N

If you need a quarter turn with a guaranteed clamping force that is repeatable, we suggest to switch to our SPANCLAMPS:
