Rack drawer cam lock SCHROFF model 23130092 for equipment shelves and subracks

Schroff cam lock model 23130092 is a compact mechanical lock designed for securing equipment shelves, drawer modules and subrack panels in industrial racks and electronic enclosures. The lock is built to provide a space-efficient solution for front-panel security where a low-profile cam mechanism is required to restrict access to sensitive modules and internal components.

Advantages

The cam lock offers a straightforward mechanical locking action with a minimal footprint, allowing integration into narrow front panels and drawer faces without major modifications. Its robust construction is suitable for repeated operation in workshop and data-centre environments. The design focuses on reliable engagement of the cam to prevent unintended opening while remaining serviceable for authorised maintenance.

Suitable for

• Securing equipment shelves in 19-inch racks and cabinet systems
• Locking drawer modules and slide-in units
• Protecting subrack front panels and electronic enclosures
• Industrial and laboratory installations requiring mechanical access control

Key specifications

• Lock type: cam (knebél) lock with rotating cam actuator
• Mounting: panel-mounted with compact body suitable for narrow front profiles
• Operation: manual key-actuated locking and unlocking
• Material and finish: metal construction designed for durability under repeated use
• Cam configuration: suitable for single-point latching applications on drawers and panels

How to use

Install the cam lock into the prepared panel cutout and secure it according to the panel thickness and mounting hardware specified by the enclosure manufacturer. Fit the cam onto the lock spindle in the required orientation to engage the strike or keeper when rotated. Use the supplied key to turn the cam to the locked or unlocked position; ensure the cam clears the keeper when unlocking to allow smooth drawer or panel movement. Periodically check mounting fasteners and cam alignment to maintain reliable operation.

Usage recommendations

For best results, select a mounting location that allows the cam to fully engage its keeper without obstruction. Consider pairing the cam lock with compatible strike hardware on the drawer or subrack to ensure secure latching. Regular inspection and light lubrication of the keyway and moving parts will prolong service life in high-use applications.
