J. W. Winco, Inc. GN 722.1

GN 722.1 spring latches are used when the indexing pin needs to be retracted. The indexing pin retracts by turning the latch by 180°. A lock notch will hold the latch in both positions. The square bar allows the latch to be welded in any desired position. To prevent excessive heat build-up and the resulting change in the spring properties, mounting the part by spot-welding is recommended. GN 722.1 spring latches are designed for use in steel construction or locksmith shops where less precise positioning / locking is required. The dimensional tolerances are therefore chosen for cost-effective production, while insuring that functional saftety is guaranteed when exposed to dirty or dusty environments.
