Electromagnet subassembly development specialist, Magnet Schultz Ltd, launched its new Gate Lock mechanism at IFSEC 2010. The Gate Lock is designed for automated gate systems.
The new electric Gate Lock offers a wide process latitude specifically designed to accommodate gate misalignment. The solenoid-driven locking element mates with a 30mm ‘wide mouth’ chamber, meaning that the steel bolt can enter the locking chamber within a 30mm window and still lock successfully and completely.
Security applications for the new electric lock include typical automated gate assemblies where one gate has dropped through hinge wear. A drop and resulting misalignment of the locking bolt with chamber of up to 15mm can be accommodated. The new unit has been expressly designed to reduce the service and support commitment for gate suppliers and installers, makers say.
Magnet Schultz Ltd has released MkII of its Type 63 shotbolt solenoid lock.
The re-engineered MkII version of Magnet Schultz’s Type 63 shotbolt has new features including IP65 weatherproofing, CE conformity, and the integration of Magnet Schultz’s new electronic Over Voltage Control to offer more actuation.
The new shotbolt version offers it’s claimed a robust steel frame and brushed aluminium casing, and deploys a 15mm diameter stainless steel bolt with an integral lip seal for IP65 compliance. It is available in fail-safe (energise-to-lock) or fail-secure (spring-to-lock) configuration, and is operable from either a DC or AC supply. With its ISO 9001 manufacture and life-tested rating to over 1 million operations, the Type 63 shotbolt is suitable it’s claimed for a variety of industrial and security applications including access doors, security vehicles, shutter grilles and gates, lift mechanisms, industrial interlocking and machinery guards.
