New : Mechanical release cam for car doors

The release cam is an essential component of a door’s locking system. Installed on the car door, it activates the landing door lock and allows it to be opened.

A release cam for car door : how does it work ?

A  car door is fitted with an unlocking cam when it is required to unlock swing landing doors. When the car door is opened, the cam unlocks the lock and allows the user to open the door.

This release cam can be mechanical or electromagnetic (electro-cam).

In most cases, the lock is located in the landing door upright and, for side-opening car doors, on the side of the opening direction of the panels. However, it may happen that the swing door locking system is opposite to the car door opening direction.

In this situation, the only solution was to install an electromagnetic cam, but this is expensive and requires work on the lift controller, so take longer to install. But now, lift specialists, you have a new solution.

The new SLYCMA mechanical release cam : What is it ?

The new SLYCMA release cam is a solution for your side-opening 2 and 3- panel car doors that operate with swing doors whose lock is opposite to the direction of opening.
