COMPACT NARROW DESIGN SPEEDGATE TURNSTILE S517

STXtek speedgate turnstile is a type of high-end access control gate designed for fast, efficient, and secure pedestrian traffic management. It typically uses swinging or sliding glass barriers that open and close rapidly to allow or restrict access. Speed gates Turnstiles are widely used in places requiring both security and a premium image, such as office buildings, corporate lobbies, airports, government facilities, and fitness centers.

They combine advanced sensors, motor-driven barriers, and smart access systems (RFID, QR code, biometrics) to authenticate users quickly while preventing unauthorized entry. Their sleek, modern appearance also enhances the environment’s look.

🔷 Parameters of SpeedGate Turnstile

1. Dimensions (L600mm x W120mm x H980mm)
   The overall size of the unit, including the body and barriers, to ensure it fits in the installation space.

2. Passage Width
   The width of the opening available for users to pass through. Common widths range from 600mm to 1000mm, depending on whether the system is designed for standard or accessibility-compliant use.

3. Throughput Capacity
   The number of people who can pass through the turnstile in one minute. For most speed gates, this ranges from 25 to 35 persons per minute.

4. Barrier Type
   The type of barriers used (usually glass panels or acrylic barriers), which swing or slide to allow access.

5. Authentication Methods Supported
   Types of credentials supported, such as RFID cards, QR codes, biometrics (fingerprint/face recognition), or smartphones.

6. Power Supply
   The voltage and power requirements, typically ranging from 110V to 240V AC with options for 12V DC in some models.

7. Motor Type
   The type of motor used for the barrier’s movement, typically brushless DC motors or servo motors for efficient and quiet operation.

8. Operating Speed
   The time it takes for the barrier to open/close (usually within 0.3 to 1 second), ensuring fast and smooth access.

9. Failure Mode
   Options for how the system behaves in the event of power failure. Fail-safe mode (barriers open) or fail-secure mode (barriers remain closed).

10. Sensor Technology
    Type of sensors used for detecting authorized access, usually infrared (IR) sensors to track body movements and prevent tailgating or piggybacking.

11. Security Features
    Additional security functions such as anti-tailgating, anti-piggybacking, and unauthorized access alarms that alert operators of intrusion attempts.

12. Material Construction
    The materials used for the gate frame and barriers. Typically stainless steel for durability, and tempered glass or acrylic panels for the barrier portion.

13. Environmental Protection
    The IP rating for environmental protection (such as IP54 or IP65), indicating resistance to dust and water ingress.

14. Emergency Egress Mode
    How the system reacts during an emergency or fire alarm, with most systems unlocking automatically to allow free exit.

15. Connectivity & Integration Options
    Capability to integrate with other building systems, such as building management systems (BMS), fire alarm systems, or video surveillance. Common protocols include Wiegand, TCP/IP, and RS-485.

16. Noise Level
    The operational noise generated by the turnstile during its motion. Quiet models are often desired in premium environments (such as corporate offices) and are rated in decibels (dB). Most speed gates operate quietly, around <50 dB.

17. Operating Temperature Range
    The range of temperatures in which the turnstile can function without failure, typically specified in °C or °F. For example, many units operate in the range of -20°C to +60°C (or -4°F to 140°F), allowing installation in varied climates.

18. Traffic Flow Direction Control
    The ability to control the direction of passage, typically programmable to allow one-way or bi-directional access.

19. LED Display/Indicators
    Visual indicators on the turnstile to show the status of the system (e.g., green for access granted, red for access denied, blue for waiting). Some units also feature customizable LED strips or screens for user feedback.

20. Custom Branding Options
    The ability to customize the unit with company logos, colors, or unique graphics. This can enhance the appearance of the entrance area and help with corporate branding.
