Electromagnet assembly development specialist, Magnet Schultz Ltd, was unveiling a series of new products at IFSEC 2011
The products on show include an Electric Gatelock, a Load Release mechanism and an ATEX-rated Shotbolt.
Woking-based Magnet Schultz Ltd specialises in the design and development of custom solenoid application solutions.
Electric gate lock
Its mechanism has a wide alignment capability that is the makers say designed to accommodate gate misalignment. The device has been designed to reduce the need for service visits and cut overheads for gate suppliers and installers. It is described as a solution for commercial and domestic installations, whether being operated manually or automatically. The solenoid-driven locking element operates within a 30mm ‘wide mouth’, meaning that the gate-mounted element can enter the channel anywhere within that 30mm window and still lock securely. This arrangement successfully handles misalignment of the locking elements up to 15mm either side of the centre-line.
Load release mechanism
This provides a link between a fire alarm and the failsafe technology in the mechanism that helps to contain a fire. One signal from an alarm controller and the device will release a load up to 50kg, eliminating the need for fusible links. The uncertainty of whether or not the link will perform has been taken out of the equation and replaced with dependable failsafe technology that allows also permits regular system testing.
ATEX-rated shotbolt
The ATEX Shotbolts are claimed to be the only shotbolt locking devices designed and tested to operate in explosive and hazardous environments. The new GSCE Range shotbolts are IP54 certified and mounted by means of a threaded nose section, making them it’s claimed a choice for industrial oil and gas platforms and installations. The units feature a terminal box to accommodate a user’s own cable, allowing the makers say integration to any application while complying with safety and legal requirements.
