Narrow Design Tripod Turnstile Gate Barrier S125

🔷 What is a Tripod Turnstile

STXtek as one of the leading turnstile gate manufacturer, Half Height Tripod Turnstile Gate Barrier is a mechanical access control gate with three rotating arms arranged in a tripod shape (120° separation). It allows one person to pass through at a time and is widely used in security-sensitive areas like offices, train stations, stadiums, factories, and schools.

It serves as a physical barrier that helps control pedestrian flow while integrating with access control systems like RFID, barcode, fingerprint, or facial recognition.

Vertical tripod turnstile is a type of physical access control system that is commonly used in public areas, such as train stations, stadiums, and amusement parks, to restrict access to authorized personnel only. It consists of three rotating arms that are mounted on a central column and arranged in a tripod configuration.

It consists of three rotating arms that are mounted on a central vertical post, forming a tripod shape. The arms are locked in a closed position until a valid credential, such as a ticket or access card, is presented. Once the credential is verified, the arms rotate to allow the person to pass through the turnstile.

Tripod turnstiles are popular because they are relatively compact, easy to install, and can process a high volume of people quickly. They are also cost-effective and provide a reliable method of access control.

⚙️ How Tripod Turnstile Gate Barrier Works:

1. Idle State: Arms are locked to prevent unauthorized entry.

2. Authentication: User taps an RFID card, scans QR/barcode, fingerprint, or face.

3. Signal Received: Upon valid access, the mechanism unlocks one rotation.

4. Manual or Motor Drive: User pushes the arm or the arm auto-rotates (semi-automatic or full-automatic).

5. Lock After Passage: The arm resets and locks, ready for the next person.

6. Anti-tailgating: Only one person is allowed per authentication.
