Tension fasteners

Secure sealing for medium-duty applications

Tension latches are proven and universal elements when it comes to closing lids or hoods quickly and securely. With GN 761, Ganter also offers suitable solutions for medium-duty applications.

They are designed for holding forces of 1,000, 2,000 and 3,000 newtons, are made of galvanized steel or stainless steel and are supplied with eyelet or T-shaped tie rods as standard. The new GN 761 series turnbuckles close the gap between heavy and light versions of these almost universally applicable Ganter standard elements. The robust and padlockable tension latches are used whenever flaps, lids, covers or hoods need to be closed quickly and reliably. The thread on the tie rod allows the length of the pull to be easily adjusted, readjusted and thus precisely actuated via the eccentric movement of the locking lever.

In addition to the two tie rod shapes described in the standard sheet - T and eyelet - Ganter also offers the option of other, individual designs in terms of dimensions, shapes and features. For example, tie rods with an integrated spring for tolerance compensation are just as conceivable as variants with elastomer inserts, which are useful if the tie rod and counterholder are not perfectly aligned.

The manufacturer is also adding a safety variant to the new range of tension latches: With GN 761.1, the safety hook integrated into the base body automatically engages in the operating lever at the end of the closing movement. This ensures that the tension latch remains securely closed and does not open unintentionally. The fastener can only be opened when the safety hook is explicitly unlocked again. This only requires one hand - as always, Ganter thinks in a user-friendly way and provides for customer and application-specific adaptations right from the design stage.
