Electromagnetic Locks (Magnalocks) : Security Technology for the 21st century, holding power from 600 to 1,800 pounds, models for surface,shear and recessed mounting Magnalocks are designed to secure any kind of door or gate that closes against a fixed stop. The product consists of an electromagnet which mounts on the fixed frame, and a strike plate which mounts on the moving door or gate. The strike plate is delivered with fasteners that let it flex, so when a door closes, it automatically self-aligns with the magnet. Powerful magnetic force then secures the door, and release is achieved by switching
off current. Magnalocks are remarkably efficient. Model 32 draws only 3-1/2 watts. Model 62 draws only 3 watts. Models 34 and 82SC draw only 4 watts. Low power consumption is especially important when large numbers of Magnalocks are operated from a central power supply. Efficiency saves in wire gauge, power supply and battery backup costs. |
