Customers often ask：What is the difference between a smart speed gate turnstile and a swing barrier gate?  Many people think that speed gate and swing gate turnstile are the same equipment. Today we discuss the difference between speed gate turnstile and the swing turnstile gate:

1. Appearance

The appearance of the speed gate turnstile is relatively slender and the movement structure is small. The clutch and encoder are used together. The width is about 100-180mm and the length is about 1500mm. The pendulum is basically plexiglass or tempered glass. Viewed from the outside, the production process and overall appearance look high-end and elegant.

Swing turnstile gate has a wide and thick appearance, and the movement itself is large. It adopts an ordinary movement with four-wheel and four-slot structure. The width of the chassis is generally about 280-330mm and the length is between 420-1200mm. Most of the swing arm gates are made of 304 stainless steel. With a small amount of plexiglass, the entire appearance of the swing turnstile gate looks heavy.

The appearance of the speed gate turnstile is like the facial features of a person, and it needs a coordinated proportion, so that it looks high-end and elegant.

2. Control part

The opening speed of the smart speed gate turnstile is very high, 0.3-0.8 seconds/time, 30-45 people/minute can pass, and it can be continuously swiped and opened. The speed turnstile gate has a memory function and has a fire-fighting linkage. The speed can be adjusted, generally twice that of ordinary swing barrier gates, which can facilitate pedestrians to pass quickly.

The opening speed of the swing turnstile gate is relatively slow, 20-25 people/minute. It meets the fire protection requirements, and there is no fire linkage function. During peak periods, only one card per person can be used for passing people, and it is not possible to swipe the card continuously, and there is no memory to open the gate and so on.

3. Drive mode

The movement of auto swing gate, 4-wheel drive 4-slot brake, belongs to sliding friction, the speed gate turnstile motor is directly driven, and the clutch brakes without any friction.

The speed gate turnstile movement adopts a clutch and an encoder to work together. The motor transmission efficiency is high, that is, the transmission coefficient is large, and the effective power of the motor can be transmitted to the swing arm to the maximum extent. The motor adopts a DC brushless or servo motor, or a brushed motor. When a sudden external force acts on the swing arm, the swing arm deviates from the zero position, the solenoid valve immediately locks the gate to eliminate the external force, and the encoder acts to direct the swing arm to return to the zero position, forming an automatic reset. In the event of an illegal brake break, the clutch will immediately lock the gate, and There is a voice alarm for "illegal break-in".

The swing barrier gate movement adopts sliding friction, the principle of four wheels and four grooves, and the transmission efficiency is low. The wheel and groove are positioned at 90°. Each time the swing arm swings, the groove wheel will slide and rub once. The positioning is also positioned by a fixed mechanism. In case of external force, if the anti-collision device is not installed, it will directly hit the movement or the swing arm. In the slightest, the swing arm will deviate from the middle zero position, and the two sides will not be aligned or synchronized. In the worst case, the movement will not work properly and the swing arm will bend. The motor adopts a brushed motor. Illegal intrusion can only give an alarm and cannot be locked. Ordinary swing barrier gates must be aware that the impact will cause injury or fatality.

The movement of the turnstile is like the human heart, which plays a vital role.

4. Limiting method

Swing arm barrier gates generally use proximity switches or optocoupler signals, with large contact area and inaccurate limits.

Speed gate turnstile use encoders to limit the position, which can be accurate to 1°, so swing barrier gates and speed gate turnstile cannot be in the same level.

Intelligent speed gate turnstile is a newly developed high-intelligence pedestrian passage product, which is safe, reliable, fast and efficient, and is cost-effective for similar products. It is a revolutionary product of swing barrier gates and is widely used in high-end office situations, office buildings, and high-speed railways, subway stations, tourist attractions, etc.
