The Simple Unlocking Principle of Cam Locks
The cam lock is a type of lock that controls the rotation of lock nails through the internal structure. According to the different structures of the locking nail, it can be divided into the plum blossom marble lock, the triangular rotating cam lock, the double-sided marble rotating cam lock, etc.
The working principle of cam locks is to rotate the key, which drives the lock cylinder and shaft to rotate, thereby driving the cam to rotate and achieve the opening and closing of the door lock. Due to its simple structure, the cam lock is prone to loosening and automatic opening when used in trains, high-speed trains, and other situations that may cause vibration.
What Is the Cam Lock? How to Use the Cam Lock?
Cam locks are a type of fastener commonly used in cabinet structures. The cam lock can securely secure the cabinets together without affecting their appearance. Cam locks are cylindrical fasteners used in cabinet manufacturing and many types of furniture.
The cam lock is one of the most commonly used and simplest locks. The cam lock was invented by Volker Guelck in Ontario, Canada in 1985. The lock consists of a metal plate (called a cam) that is connected to the core of the locking device and rotates with the insertion and rotation of the key. The cam rotates to lock and unlock between 90 and 180 degrees.
There are two basic types of cam locks. The first one is a flat key cam lock. Use a regular flat key (such as a door key or car key) to open this lock. The second type is a tubular cam lock. The operation of this lock is the same as that of a flat key cam lock, but it is opened by a key, which is a circular tubular object that can be pushed into the cam lock. Contrary to having a flat opening, a tubular cam lock has a circular opening for inserting keys.
In addition to the basic keyed cam lock, there is also a combination cam lock that uses a combination dial code. These are the locks you will see on the storage cabinet. The advantage of lacking a combination cam is that users do not need to carry a key with them to open the lock. The cam lock is a sturdy cylindrical locking mechanism widely used in various industrial applications.
