Handles suit crowded panels

An EMKA UK product story
Edited by the Engineeringtalk editorial team Sep 4, 2007

EMKA swinghandles provide specialist panel builders with the opportunity to have all the benefits of swinghandle technology on smaller cabinets.

Emka Swinghandles have been developed in response to the needs of specialist panel builders whose equipment will be installed in crowded situations or where style and simplicity are key factors.

Their low profile and smooth style minimises the hazards of caught clothes and arms.

At the same time their clean lines with recessed handle offer looks which can be seen "in public".

The 1150 series has an ultra low profile pop-out swinghandle in an escutcheon that is 9mm deep and 120mm high by 36mm wide.

The unit takes up minimal door panel space and provides specialist panel builders with the opportunity to have all the benefits of swinghandle technology on smaller cabinets.

A new feature on the rod mechanism is the use of a 45 degree offset for the levers, which has the advantage of increasing rod extension and reducing the force required to operate the handle.

The 1150 centre lock can provide 26mm of stroke.

The 1150 is simple to install either within the sealing area or external to the gasket.

The 2100 series offers a combination of style and functionality with a 7mm escutcheon and up to IP65 ingress protection.

Crucial to safety in confined areas, the extremely low protrusion of this 2100 escutcheon and recessed handle is designed to provide minimum opportunities for clothes or limbs to get caught in passing, as is all too often experienced with traditional handles in crowded corridors.

The 2100 series of handle mechanisms feature a black polyamide finish and are designed to suit the new 1121 flat rod system for cabinets of 800mm up to 2.2m in height.

The 2100 handle/escutcheon system accepts eurolock cylinders with various international key profiles and all other square, triangular, double bit, hexagon, slotted, crown or Daimler Benz type mechanism.

Combined with the 1121 flat rod system up to five-point pull-down may be provided on the gasket, significantly improving IP protection and giving a "quality feel" to door operation.
