Innovative locking cams: making your windows more secure, tightly sealed and convenient
Innovative joining technologies play a pivotal role in the modern window and door industry in order to ensure that windows and balcony doors are secure, energy-efficient and easy to use. These proven technologies include locking cams, which are used in various locking systems. Whether it’s an E cam, P cam or the ultra-specialist V cam – they all have a central role to play in making windows and doors more secure, more tightly sealed and more durable. This article will tell you all you need to know about the three most popular Roto locking cams, their functions and how they improve the installation and use of building elements.
E cam: flexibility and precision
The E cam is renowned for its gasket compression adjustable function and is mainly used in sliding systems like Roto Patio Alversa. With this type of cam, windows, doors and sliding elements remain precise and easy to use despite being moved on a frequent basis. Thanks to the possibility of flexibly adapting the gasket compression, the E cam ensures an even closing movement, which improves both the seal and operating convenience.
P cam: greater security thanks to mushroom-head technology
The P cam, also known as a mushroom cam, is designed specifically with burglary protection in mind. When closing the window, the mushroom cam locks the security locking component, which makes it far more difficult to jemmy the window open from the outside. And that’s not all – the P cam is also gasket compression adjustable, which not only makes the window more secure, but also more tightly sealed and stable. Windows and balcony doors with a mushroom cam therefore provide extra security without compromising on ease of use.
V cam: the all-rounder for sealing, security and ease of installation
The V cam is the undisputed champion when it comes to security, sealing and simple installation. Its standout feature is that it can absorb large rebate-clearance tolerances without the need for adjustment. If required, the height and gasket compression of the cam are easy to adjust via a fine-pitch thread, making precise adaptation possible. A special marking on the cam means that the correct position can be checked at glance. Both adjustments are easy to carry out using a 4 mm hex key.
Conclusion
Whether it’s an E cam, P cam or V cam – all locking cams play an important role in keeping modern window and door systems secure and tightly sealed. The V cam is an especially popular choice thanks to its burglary protection and ease of adjustment. These innovative technologies not only keep your windows, doors and sliding elements secure, but also make them energy-efficient and convenient for everyday use.
