Description
Overview:
Quarter Turn Cam, 45mm Length, -8mm Minus Offset, Zinc Plated Steel (MPN 800 1268) is a mild steel cam for use with quarter-turn latch assemblies on vehicle bodies and industrial enclosures. The cam is 45 mm long (1.77 in) and set with a minus offset of -8 mm (-0.31 in), providing a reduced stand-off suitable for flush-closing panels and compact housings. Manufactured from mild steel with a zinc plated finish, it offers durable performance and surface protection in transport and site environments. This cam is typically paired with a compatible quarter-turn housing and insert to secure doors, hatches and access panels. Suitable for use across commercial vehicle bodywork and equipment-such as trucks, trailers, buses, generator sets, horseboxes, cab lockers, cabinets and catering units-where reliable quarter-turn retention is required.
Key Features:
- 45 mm cam length (1.77 in) for standard quarter-turn latch setups
- Minus offset: -8 mm (-0.31 in) for reduced stand-off and closer panel engagement
- Material: mild steel for robustness in vehicle and plant environments
- Finish: zinc plated for corrosion protection and a clean, durable surface
- Suited to quarter-turn lock and latch mechanisms across body hardware and enclosures
- Compatible with typical vehicle and cabinet quarter-turn housings and inserts (not included)
Typical Applications:
Used on trucks, trailers and buses for body side lockers, service doors and access hatches; on plant and site equipment including generator sets and cabinets; and on horseboxes, cabs and catering units where a quarter-turn latch requires a -8 mm minus cam to achieve the correct panel compression and closure.
