Access control - Crouzet’s motion control and automation solutions
Crouzet has been designing, manufacturing and supplying efficient components for automated systems since 1921. It’s a worldwide industrial specialist in sensors, controllers and actuators for automated systems.
Crouzet’s reliable, efficient and customisable components can be found across the aerospace & defence, transport and industrial sectors.
Intelligent gates and doors
One of Crouzet’s specialist areas is access control. Its products used in intelligent gates and doors are involved in motion control, remote management, and position management.
Pedestrian access control affecting includes subway, railway and airport swing gates, and turnstiles. In the city, there are bollards, perimeter access and traffic management.
In buildings, access control is used with cleanroom doors, sliding doors, rapid doors, revolving doors, and lifts. As well as vehicle access control including parking and highway barriers, and automated fences.
Customers and users benefit from:
- Safety and security, as access is controlled with extreme precision, minimising human accidents due to system malfunction
- Operational efficiency and reliability, as security incidents are prevented, and unplanned maintenance is anticipated through predictive maintenance
- Fluid, comfortable movement of traffic, as long waiting times in queues at toll booth barriers and automatic passenger gates are avoided
Motion Control
Crouzet has a broad portfolio of DC motors: from conventional brushed types to intelligent brushless motors with integrated electronics, these are matched with gearboxes and software dedicated to access control management. These motors are well able to overcome challenges commonly found in automatic door, gate and barrier operation.
Crouzet’s smart motors with integrated electronics have a high level of accuracy and offer:
- Wide power range, from 40W to 600W (nominal)
- Large range of geared motor ratios and configurations
- Brake options from 0.25Nm to 4.5Nm (holding torque)
- Safe Torque Off (STO) inputs
- High ingress protection, up to IP69
- CANopen communication
Access control programs are pre-loaded on the motors integrated electronics and offers:
- Easy programming of speed, torque, and position control
- Automatic homing
- HMI integration via comms network
High-performance DC brushed motors are:
- Exceptionally quiet: ≤35dBA
- Highly efficient: 80%+
- Long service life: 5,000 to 24,000hours
- Certified: UL 1004 / CE / RoHS
