Description
Fail‑Open Electromechanical Locking Module
This fail‑open electromechanical module is designed to provide reliable, timed locking and free-rotation capabilities for waist‑high turnstiles. It’s a robust access control component engineered for secure exit paths where the arm must unlock in the event of a power failure—making it ideal for emergency egress or continuous outbound traffic flow.
The locking mechanism uses powerful electromagnets to hold position and automatically releases after a preset delay, adjustable between 1 and 99 seconds. Built-in reset logic ensures the mechanism re-engages only after a complete arm rotation, maintaining controlled movement with every cycle.
Constructed in a sealed, powder-coated aluminum housing with integrated heat-dissipation fins, the unit resists moisture and environmental stress, while supporting more than one million operations. Features include anti-passback via 60° stop logic and optional manual key override for emergency unlocking.
This module can be installed directly into compatible turnstile bases or retrofitted into existing mechanical systems, offering flexible, plug‑and‑play deployment.

APPLICATIONS
Ideal for installations where secure exit control is required—yet safety demands a fail‑open configuration:
- Emergency egress corridors
- Transit system exits
- Building evacuation routes
- Controlled pedestrian exits in sports, education, or retail settings
Engineered for reliable egress control, this fail‑open electromechanical module offers timed operation, full-rotation reset logic, and rugged environmental resistance. It’s the go-to solution when safety requires unrestricted exit under power loss conditions—without compromising long-term durability or control.
