DIN Single Cam vs 10/13/14-Tooth Cogwheels for Multi-Point Shootbolts

Engineering Overview: Technical comparison between standard single-tooth DIN cams and 10/13/14-tooth cogwheels for gear-driven multi-point entrance door locks.

Technical & Engineering Specifications

Application Standard Mortise Locks vs Multi-Point Shootbolt Gearboxes
Drive Types DIN 30° Single Cam vs 10T / 13T / 14T Cogwheels
Gear Module Module 1.5 / 2.0 Involute Profile
Cam Diameter 15.0 mm Sweep Circle

Drive Cam Interfaces

Euro cylinders drive mortise lock bolts through either single-tooth cams or gear cogwheels.

Kinematic Comparison

  1. DIN 30° Standard Cam: Single radius driving lug that rotates 360° to strike the mortise lock bolt lever. Standard across 90% of European single/multi-point locks.
  2. Multi-Tooth Cogwheels (10T, 13T, 14T): Sintered steel involute gear that meshes continuously with a gear rack inside heavy-duty multi-point security locks, reducing key turning effort by 40%.
