Toggle latches GN 831.2 are used for the secure holding of flaps, container lids, machine coverings and similar applications. The clamping stroke exceeds the dead centre point which makes them vibration proof. The safety mechanism for GN 831.2 gives additional protection against inadvertent opening of the catch.

Due to the movement sequence of the mechanics in the clamping hook, components to be linked can be pulled towards each other over a distance of up to 15 mm. The adjustable range w₂ is achieved via a threaded spindle M6 on the clamping hook.

The loads specified in the above table are simply guide line values for a nominal static pulling force which the lock can withstand. Depending on the conditions under which these toggle latches are used such as vibration or shock loads, the pulling force can be adversely affected.

The catch bracket is included.
