Redditch-based Protex Fasteners will be highlighting its latest products on Stand 9 at the Fastening News Live Roadshow at Botley Grange Hotel in Southampton on 15th September.
Fasteners on show will include: the company's new medium duty, type 33 series; budget-priced heavy duty latches; high strength CatchBolts; and versatile Bandclamp range.
Suitable for a wide variety of resealable applications throughout the safety equipment, process industries, civil engineering, agricultural equipment, defence, aerospace, motorsports sectors, lifeboat and marine products, the new stainless and zinc-plated mild steel type 33 Protex latches are offered with a choice of three grip lengths.
They are all designed for use with Protex type 01-502, 02-502 or 03-502 catchplates and provide an ultimate strength of 4.3kN.
For added security, the new low profile fasteners are available with two types of optional sealing pins or a side action safety catch.
In addition, they can be supplied in the patented TooLatch configuration, incorporating a tool operated safety catch.
These require a "deliberate act" using a coin, screwdriver or similar implement for them to be released - providing significant benefits to equipment manufacturers needing to comply with CE marking regulations, and dramatically reducing the possibility of accidental or impulsive opening of items such as machine guards.
Protex's recently-announced budget-priced, heavy duty latch, designated the type 47-2650, is ideal for a wide range of resealable fastening applications in the agricultural, commercial vehicle, logistics and safety equipment sectors.
It offers an ultimate strength of 9.8kN and is equipped with a threaded draw bar, which provides up to 20mm grip range adjustment.
The new design can also be secured using a lockable padlock or optional, purpose-designed sealing pins.
Protex CatchBolt over-centre fasteners provide a positive clamping force in all three planes.
Their initial closing action draws a mating keeper towards the main body of the fastener.
Continued operation of the lever pushes a square section, spring-loaded bolt into the keeper, which acts on the bolt's tapered profile to ensure positive retention in all three axes.
Protex Bandclamps combine the benefits of a worm drive hose clip with the speed and convenience of an over-centre fastener - to provide fast operation and extended adjustment for components from 70mm diameter upwards.
Heavy duty versions are also available, with maximum diameters of 615mm as standard.
In addition, Protex will be highlighting a number of new, special-purpose adjustable "platform" design variants with capacities down to 25mm diameter at the Southampton event.
