A turnstile actuator is an electronic device used to control the movement of turnstiles. It is one of the key components for the automatic opening and closing of turnstiles. A turnstile actuator typically consists of a motor, a controller, and sensors.

Through the cooperation of the motor, controller, and sensors, the turnstile actuator achieves the automatic opening and closing of the turnstile. It not only provides a convenient passage method but also improves the security and management efficiency of the venue. Turnstile actuators are widely used in public places such as airports, subways, shopping malls, and office buildings, providing convenient and safe passage for people to enter and exit.

     First, the core of the turnstile actuator is the motor. The motor is the power source that drives the movement of the turnstile. Common motor types include DC motors and AC motors. DC motors have the characteristics of a wide adjustable speed range and high starting torque, making them suitable for applications with high speed requirements. AC motors, on the other hand, have the characteristics of simple structure and low cost, making them suitable for general applications. The motor transmits power to the mechanical parts of the turnstile through an axial or parallel transmission device, realizing the opening and closing of the turnstile.

    The turnstile actuator also needs a controller to control the operation of the motor. The controller is the brain of the turnstile actuator, responsible for receiving signals from the sensors and controlling the operating status of the motor according to needs. The controller can be programmed to implement different opening and closing methods, such as card swipe opening and facial recognition opening. Simultaneously, the controller can connect to other systems to achieve data sharing and management.

The sensor is the sensing component of the gate actuator, used to detect the approach or passage of personnel. Common sensor types include infrared sensors, ultrasonic sensors, and microwave radar sensors. These sensors can detect the approach of personnel, transmit signals to the controller, and thus trigger the opening or closing of the gate.
