HONG KONG, CHINA – Media OutReach – 1 September
2020 – Southco Asia Ltd., a
subsidiary of Southco Inc., a leading global provider of engineered access
solutions such as locks, latches, captive fasteners, electronic access
solutions and hinges/ positioning technology, has expanded its successful line of rotary latch actuators with a new
version that combines keyless electronic locking with modern design. Southco’s
AC-11-EM Rotary Latch Actuator with electronic locking functionality eliminates
the need for mechanical key access when connected to a remote access controller,
such as a key fob, or to an existing control system, such as a button located
within a vehicle’s interior.

AC-11-EM Rotary Latch Actuator

The AC-11-EM
Rotary Latch Actuator with electronically controlled locking features a flush
mount oval shape that complements modern industrial styling. With its recessed
handle design, the AC-11-EM eases operation when opening panels and doors with
a gloved hand, while reducing snag and catch points.

Featuring a
heavy duty design and corrosion resistant construction, the AC-11-EM provides
robust protection for outdoor applications including off-highway entry doors
and specialty vehicle storage panels. Available with a variety of key locking
options, the AC-11 provides direct, single or multipoint actuation of a
connected latch.

“The AC-11-EM Rotary Latch
Actuator with electronic locking provides a convenient upgrade to
electronic access control,” said Global Product Manager Cindy Bart. “The
rounded edge provides a sleek look that complements applications where
dependable remote actuation of a connected rotary latch is critical.”
