TZ Radial™
Compact. High load. Intelligent locking device.
The TZ Radial™ is a compact, lightweight, high-load locking device that uses an eight jaw locking mechanism to capture and hold an inserted mating stud. The mechanism is controlled by a Shape Memory Alloy (SMA) actuator which in turn is managed by an integrated micro-controller which provides for programmability and control by software. The embedded intelligence at the device level enables networking, switching and the ability to control other smart objects such as sensors.
The TZ Radial™ locking device can be operated by a range of triggers, including push button, contact closure, or RS-485 serial communications network command. The device features a manual key override and one-foot cable with an RJ-45 coupler for connection to standard patch cables.Features
