Southco Inc. now sells an expanded its line of electronic access setups — including a compact electronic actuator that simplifies the upgrade from mechanical to electronic access.

Southco’s AC-EM 05 Electronic Actuator offers an economical option for getting electronic actuation of Southco’s R4-05 Micro Rotary Latch series and other mechanical latches. When connected to an electronic access control device, the AC-EM 05 Electronic Actuator can be used to actuate a mechanical latch to remotely open or unlock a door or panel. With its small profile design and efficient gear motor operation, the AC-EM 05 Electronic Actuator is suitable for concealed applications where physical space constraints are a challenge.

“The AC-EM 05 Electronic Actuator can be easily paired with Southco’s R4-05 Micro Rotary Latch series or any other comparable mechanism to provide electronic access control in limited space applications,” said general manager Steve Spatig.

For more information, visitwww.southco.comor call (610) 459-4000.


Southco sells an array of latches, locks, captive fasteners, quick access fasteners, hinges, handles, inserts, electronic access setups, and other accessories for applications in the networking, telecommunications, computer, automotive, aerospace, mass transit, off-highway/construction, RV/caravan, industrial machinery, marine and HVAC industries.
