Overview:
Turnstiles are engineered to regulate pedestrian movement in restricted areas, providing low- to medium-level security, crowd control, and controlled access. They can be integrated with access control systems, ID card readers, biometric scanners, or CCTV surveillance for enhanced monitoring. The standard design features a tri-arm tripod configuration (3 × 120° rotation), suitable for bi-directional operation.
Types of Turnstiles:
- Electromechanical Turnstiles – Operated via solenoid mechanisms or manual push action, providing controlled rotation and basic security. Ideal for low-traffic areas.
- Motorized Turnstiles – Drop-arm or tripod designs powered by high-precision electric motors with automatic reset, offering smooth, controlled, and energy-efficient operation for higher traffic volumes.
Construction & Materials:
- Frame & Housing: Constructed from heavy-duty stainless steel or mild steel (MS) with powder-coated or brushed finish for corrosion resistance, durability, and aesthetic appeal.
- Arms: Fabricated from aluminum, stainless steel, or reinforced polycarbonate for lightweight, strong, and impact-resistant operation.
- Mechanical Components: Include precision bearings, pivot assemblies, and anti-backlash gears to ensure smooth, consistent rotation and long service life.
- Electrical Components: Include solenoids, electric motors, limit switches, and control boards, with optional integration with access control panels, sensors, or fire alarm systems.
Operational Features & Safety:
- Bi-directional or uni-directional operation configurable via control systems.
- Automatic reset mechanism in motorized models ensures safe and controlled arm return.
- Fail-safe or fail-secure operation options to comply with emergency evacuation and safety standards.
- Optional safety sensors detect obstructions, preventing injuries and equipment damage.
Applications:
Suitable for commercial buildings, metro stations, airports, corporate offices, educational institutions, and industrial facilities, turnstiles provide a reliable, low-maintenance, and scalable solution for pedestrian access control.
