How the Shockonloc® system works
The main feature of the Shockonloc® fastex buckle is the proprietary Shockonloc® technology.
After the two parts are connected, spring-loaded latches securely hold the clasp closed. The housing geometry and the lock design are specially designed to minimize the likelihood of accidental opening due to side impacts, vibration, or contact with other objects.
At the same time, the mechanism remains simple and convenient for the user. To open the clasp, simply press the latches as designed. Thanks to the optimal opening force, the product is comfortable to use, even during daily use.
An additional advantage is the ability to adjust the strap length on both sides of the clasp. This allows for quick customization to the user without the need for additional adjustments.
Design Features
One of the key features of the Shockonloc LB WGD is its reinforced housing, designed to withstand increased loads.
The fastener is made of POM (polyacetal) engineering plastic, which boasts high mechanical strength and is resistant to impact, abrasion, moisture, and temperature fluctuations. This material maintains stable properties even after extended use in challenging climates.
Particular attention was paid to the housing shape. The streamlined profile reduces the likelihood of accidental snagging on clothing or equipment, while reinforced guides ensure smooth operation and extend the life of the fastener.
The dual adjustment system makes the design more versatile and allows for use in a wide range of products.
